Fable for the End of the World is a sapphic dystopian love story highly inspired by The Hunger Games and I was so worried that it would be too silmliar to one of my favourite series but it is rightly it’s own story and I couldn’t put it down! 

It’s not like Ava Reid’s other books and where those are full of darkness and atmospheric moments, Fable is very much a YA book with two fmcs that show that there is beauty in love, hope and defiance in a world that can be very cruel and scary. The worldbuilding is creative, vivid and descriptive and is easy to understand and follow along everything moved at a good pace and I just loved how different it is from the authors other works.

I never found myself lost or confused and I absolutely loved that the plot was so intriguing that I wasn’t sure how it would end until I got there and while I believe this is a standalone it does leave it very open ended for the potential for a sequel. 

Thank you so much to the publisher for the arc in exchange for an honest review!
