Thank you to the publisher for allowing me to read and review this ARC. Full review to be found on Goodreads and on my website.

I'm not sure I got this book. There's a lot of things going on in this book and they're all sort of about conflict and all of that but I personally don't really see how any of it really fits together so I can't really say that I really enjoyed it

Very much a book of three parts. The book starts off with a nice deliberate pace, then jumps into break neck speed. within in a blink of an eye.

Chaos, A Fable has a very international feel and perhaps should be enjoyed for the journey and not the destination.

With thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for the ARC

I understood this somewhat opaque novel in the sense that I followed the words and the action, but what it all amounted to left me rather bemused. It starts ok. A Mexican author reconnects with an old friend in Tangier and is entrusted with a memory card belonging to his son with a request to find out what’s on it. Then it all gets a bit thrillerish. Apparently this card is a pretty dangerous item and inserting it into a computer leads to all sorts of bad stuff. I guess that’s where the “fable” bit comes in. But by that time I’d kind of lost the plot, so to speak, and not only could I not really understand what it was all about, I didn’t really care. It all seemed a bit improbable and as I hadn’t connected to any of the characters I was quite happy to leave them to their own devices.
