Namesake is the second and final installment of the Fable duology. And I found it to be a better novel than the first. Namesake takes off there Fable left off so Namesake can’t be read as a standalone.

After freeing the ship Marigold, Fable, West, and the rest of the crew are ready to start anew. But that plan is sidelined when Zola, an infamous pirate hijacks Fable and forces her to arrange a deal with Holland, a rich and powerful gem trader. As the story unfolds, we learn that not everyone is who you think they are. That deals and promises made can be broken.

A masterful pirate fantasy. The author, Adrienne Young has adeptly crafted a rich cast of characters. You can just visualize each character’s looks, expressions, and personalities. Young’s Plot execution is seamless. Transitions are smooth and flows nicely through each chapter. You won’t want the story to end.

Namesake is a stunning young adult fantasy that is sure to capture the hearts of those readers that enjoy action, adventure, romance and sea faring goodness. Five spectacular stars.

I received a digital ARC from St. Martin’s Press through NetGalley. The review herein is completely my own and contains my honest thoughts and opinions.
