Fable was a wonderful, quick paced read. It was lot of fun, also kinda heartbreaking and dark, but I really enjoyed it. I liked Fable as a character; I thought she was a pretty good mix of being fierce and wanting to take care of herself, but also not actually sure how to survive always. I felt there were some parts that were a little rushed, and, like a LOT of pirate/water adventures, at times it felt that you go one place, then another, then go back, and so on, but it handled this better than other pirate fantasies for me. Overall I just really enjoyed how fast paced it was, and I'm definitely going to pick up the second one.
