Good - but not finished
LOVED this story. I was enchanted with the fables and how they tried to deal with each unique situation. Sistheras was a fun secondary character. I laughed at him many times. Very clean and engaging writing. Fabulous fight scenes, Imperfect characters who fail, misunderstand, and have to fight to get it right.My ONLY issue, is that I believed I was getting the "Complete boxed set." Yes, this is all the fables of the "First BOOK." It's a series. I hate cliff-hanger series. I was more than happy to get the next book. I immensely enjoyed the story and had to know what happened next. However, it won't be released until Nov. 2016--we hope. I hate that. If you insist on leaving your readers hanging, and not completely finishing a book. Don't publish it until ALL of it is ready.

Grimm Fairy Tales with sexy headliner!
It can be hard to find a fantasy adventure that's refreshingly original, and Fate's Fables fits the bill. I always looked forward to reading more of this book, for its shifting settings and suitable characterization. With that said, there are some issues I have, such as the beginning chapters which seemed too contrived. The plot can also be a little exhausting since there are so many climaxes (there's virtually one for each of the eight fables), and some of the individual stories feel more like fantasy epics than actual "fables." Nonetheless, the journey of Fate and her waifu/new boyfriend was pretty enjoyable.

playing with fairy tales can get you hurt!
Fate writes fairy tales so one would think she'd be prepared for the weird things that happen in them. when she is spelled into a book whose tales she must make right, Fate finds it is easier to read the story than be the story. collecting friends and love along the way must be able to deal with the consequences of her choices.I found this to be a charming collection. the age range flexed between young and older teen due not so much as to the occasional love sparks but to the vocabulary. the characters was a nice mix and the changes of scenery played well although there could have been more. all in all, it was a fun read

3's a charm!
First review I have written. I was so pleased with this book I couldn't put it down and read it cover to cover in 2 days. However I had had it in my library forever. The beginning chapters did not grab my attention. In fact it took me three times (3's a charm) to get past the beginning. Once the fables started I became enraptured in it. I thank you for sharing your gift.

Buy the boxed set!!! Great deal on a series you'll want to own right away, rather than one book at a time!
This series may be listed as for young adults, but as a woman in her (lower!) 40's, I can honestly say they are entertaining for all ages. This boxed set is an incredible buy, too. Individually these books would cost a bit more, and I am delightfully surprised that the author chose to offer them as a bundled deal like this. Each story flows seamlessly to the next, drawing the reader into our heroine "Fate's" adventures. Mitchell weaves the fantasies together expertly, the characters each portraying well thought out and individual personalities. You will find yourself gripped by the adventures Fate, Finn, Sithias, and Gerdie find themselves thrust into. Cannot wait to read more from this author,, and anxiously awaiting the rest of the story in "Fate's Keep!"

Great Fantasy
I thought this was a great fantasy, as well as a pretty good love story. Wish the ending was different but I am now drawn to read the series.

really enjoyed this series
I really, really enjoyed this series. I can't wait for the next installment to come out. Fate is a teenage author who has gained some fame with her book, Magic Brew. On impulse she takes a taxi to her grandmother's bookshop that has been closed for several years. While there, she finds herself sucked into a book of fables along with a young man named Finn. The only way for Fate and Finn to leave the book is if they successfully change each story into its opposite ending. I was really at the edge of my seat many times.

Enjoyable read!
I liked the story a lot, especially the individual fables. Be nice if you could get just those for a read. No spoilers, but I guess I HAVE to get the next one, I can’t stand not knowing!

Alert: Cliffhanger(s)
Although I enjoyed this series I was unprepared for the multiple cliffhangers at the end.
