She navigates trader politics and the open ocean in Namesake, taking everything on with courage and confidence. what are you doing? Go! My review will still be here when you come back!Īll that I loved from the first book continues here-Fable is beyond reproach as a narrator. If you haven't read my Fable review, then that's a good place to start since I'll be touching on a few ways Namesake does well as a sequel. I read Namesake only a few months after Fable, and it felt like I was stepping into a familiar embrace. It's a bit challenging to find different points to remark on from my first review, since one thing Young does so well is continuity. I don't often review more than one book in a series, but Wednesday Books has so generously shared an ARC with me that I am elated to shout all possible praise into the internet void. Even months after I finished reading, I'm still obsessed with the characters and world (*cut to me staring lovingly at my preorder artwork of Fable and West*) so much that I recommend this series to everyone I meet. If Fable is going to save them then she must risk everything, including the boy she loves and the home she has finally found. 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.Īs Fable descends deeper into a world of betrayal and deception she learns that her mother was keeping secrets, and those secrets are now putting the people Fable cares about in danger. That freedom is short-lived when she becomes a pawn in a notorious thug’s scheme.

With the Marigold ship free of her father, Fable and its crew were set to start over. Thank you to Wednesday Books for sharing a copy in exchange for my honest review.
