Once upon a time there was an author named T. Rae Mitchell who possessed the ability to captivate her readers with her novel Fate's Fables. The book is about a young writer named Fate and a handsome Scottish druid named Finn McKeen who get pulled inside the magical Book of Fables and must rewrite eight grim fables and give them happy endings in order to get home to their own dimension. Upon stumbling across Fate's Fables, an avid reader named Taylor gives five magical golden stars that sing and dance around T. Rae Mitchell, making them whisper (others shout) praises in her ear over how amazing her YA fantasy book is written! THE...END...!<3 Book loves....I adored Fate's Fables. There wasn't even a second within the 500+ page book where I didn't love everything that happened on the page. Do you ever have the feeling that you have missed out on something glorious your entire life and then when you happen across said thing you question how you've lived all these years without it?! Well, that is how I feel with this book. I'm so incredibly happy I discovered the Her Dark Destiny series on Instagram last year when Terry started following me one day and I clicked on her feed and discovered fan art of her characters, giveaways galore, and AWESOME promotional offers of book swag. I was in heaven and asked for all three books for Christmas because I had this telepathic realization that I would be head over heels in love with Fate's Fables. If you didn't already know this...the books got a face lift!! T. Rae Mitchell has done a phenomenal job promoting the GORGEOUS new covers of her books and I'm not sure how someone could look at the brand new covers and not instantly buy a copy...or five. It makes me so happy that T. Rae gave her books beautiful covers to match the beautiful story inside. Where should I even begin? Fate is a famous seventeen-year-old debut fantasy author of a book called "Magic Brew" and the story begins with her autographing her book at a book signing. At this point I'm automatically invested being an aspiring author myself. In Chapter 2, we meet Finn McKeen (one of the swooniest male characters I've read about since Rhysand from the ACOTAR series) who suddenly appears out of thin air at Fate's grandmother's book shop where they get sucked into the magical Book of Fables after finding a key that opens it. Fate is given a small notebook of blank pages and a pen from a decrepit, smelly old woman named Brune as her weapon upon entering the Book of Fables instead of a sword and that is probably the most unique thing I've ever read so far! The fables are hauntingly beautiful when Fate reads them aloud and when she's finished reading the words fall around her like magic fell around Cinderella as she turned into a beautiful princess and then they dissipate in front of their eyes as they're teleported into the next realm the fable takes place! It is whimsical and lovely. This is why T. Rae Mitchell is such an incredibly imaginative storyteller and I just adore her. Along their journey through the fables, Fate and Finn befriend a flying snake named Sithias who is attached to his hat and is an amazing actor and playwright. They also discover really cool magical artifacts but I'll let you discover them for yourself so as not to take the magic out of this book and spoil it for you! For the romance lovers, especially those who love the deep slow-burn romance kind, it's a heart wrenching love story tenderly written! I am so incredibly thrilled I have a new One True Pairing to gush over and I promise you it does not disappoint!! Alright, I know I'm totally fangirling and T. Rae Mitchell has already heard all of my feelings about her book so I'm hoping you all immerse yourselves in the adventure, friendship, romance that is Fate's Fables and then come tell me all your feelings about it! I will keep this story in my heart forever and I have four more books in the series to look forward to...<3 About the AuthorT. RAE MITCHELL is an incurable fantasy junkie who spent much of her youth dreaming up worlds and bringing characters to life. While most kids grow out of such things, T. Rae didn’t and she sometimes took playing make-believe a bit far. Like the time a wizard hid a bottle of dragon beans in the back yard and left her son convinced he could grow his own dragons. Needless to say, the beans failed to produce and disappointments were had. That’s when T. Rae decided to funnel her crazy imagination into writing. She has since begun her young adult Her Dark Destiny series, which can be found on numerous Amazon Top 100 Best Seller lists, such as Coming of Age Fantasy and Fairy Tales & Folklore. Follow T.
