Namesake by Adrienne Young

With the Marigold ship free of her father, Fable and its crew were set to start over. That freedom is short-lived when she becomes a pawn in a notorious thug’s scheme. In order to get to her intended destination she must help him to secure a partnership with Holland, a powerful gem trader who is more than she seems.

As Fable descends deeper into a world of betrayal and deception, she learns that the secrets her mother took to her grave are now putting the people Fable cares about in danger. If Fable is going to save them then she must risk everything, including the boy she loves and the home she has finally found.

This is my jam. Right up my alley. My cup of tea.

Every cliché about how perfectly this book includes all my favorite things and how even though I didn't think it was possible, I loved it more than the first book.

Namesake, while still having plenty of seafaring adventure, delved into the characters and relationships that were introduced in Fable.

While I'm disappointed it's only a duology, it also had a wonderful ending. I'm sure I'll be rereading the books many times!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Review: If you haven't read Fable, might be a tad spoilery

This was such a good conclusion to the journey we started in Fable. This book picks up where Fable left off, following Fable and her journey to prove herself to her father. We get a little more from the romance between Fable and West, but keep in mind this is a YA novel. Their relationship is just so sweet, and West would give up everything for the sake of Fable. I, as usual, enjoyed Adrienne Young's writing and storytelling. I'm convinced that I will read anything she writes. This book is full of mystery, betrayal, and adventure. The relationship between Saint and Fable is kind of a mystery throughout the entire series, but we see some resolution there at the end of this book. Overall this series was a little young for my preference, but still really good and well written. This is a YA Fantasy Romance, 14+ for some violence
