The Dark Fable
by Katherine Harbour
Magical heists, gifted individuals, and a secret society. Evie Wilder is an orphan who uses her jobs as a cover to rob wealthy individuals. Yet during one of her jobs she gets caught up in someone else's heists... the legendary Dark Fable. They are a crew of extremely talented individuals all gifted with magical abilities who have stolen artifacts all throughout history. The current members of this society have chosen her as the newest member for their society as Evie has the ability to turn invisible. Her powers make her the perfect addition for a group of thieves. Evie has always wanted more and she thinks this is the perfect opportunity for her. Yet this secret group has its own skeletons... which might connect to her own tragic past. Evie will have to sort out who she can trust in a group of thieves and how far she'll go to uncover the truth. In the Dark Fable group includes Cirian, a mysterious leader, Mads, a gifted flyer, Dev who can open a door yo any place, and Quuenie, an alchemist. This is the first book in a series and unfortunately it did not live up to my expectations at all. I was hoping for something along the lines of Six of Crows or a unique heists group with found family elements, yet this book kind of fell flat for me. I found myself getting bored while reading it and not really caring at all about the characters. I forced myself to finish it until the end and honestly, it just felt like the story constantly dragged on and I really don't see myself continuing on the series. Rather than a focus on the plot and creating a story that would entice you, the story just felt lackluster and boring, If you want to read a book about magical heists and found family, give this a go, maybe you'll have a better time with it than I did.
