Fable: A Novel | 
so-so3.8/5
A bit wordy & slow - but a pleasant read. Romance was fairly tame, which I appreciate.
The story starts with an abandoned girl who dives for gems & food to survive on an island of thieves. She has to get off the island to find the father who abandoned her so he can give her what he owes her. Along the way, she searches for love & a place to call home. If you are looking for a book that has strong pirate vibes & a little romance, this is it!

pickThis month‘s book club pick! I was wanting to read a YA novel, so this came at the perfect time. It would probably be categorized as fantasy, but really it‘s a pirate genre. 🏴☠️ For real! So if you like YA, pirate stories, and strong female leads, then this will be up your alley.
I know you‘re not supposed to judge a book by it‘s cover but…I‘m not gonna lie…sometimes I do! I mean look how gorgeous these covers are!! A lot of the time it‘s a cover or interesting title that will draw me in and make me want to learn more about the book 😃😃😃
pickThis was a great pirate story. Fable is left on the island Jevel by her father and has to fight and trade her way back to him in order to prove herself. She makes a deal with ship captain West but they encounter dangerous obstacles and enemies on their journey through the Narrows.
I liked the characters in West's crew. They all have a strong bond and are distrustful of Fable when all she wants is to belong.
pickI loved this!! Short review for now but this counts for #nauticalnovel for #booked2022 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

pickA rich story that danced across the pages, Fable has an old world vibe with a folk tale feel. It's an adventure about an abandoned girl who has lived life on the sea. Her search for her estranged father leads her to a new family and inheritance. A book of made up places, gems, pirates and yes, love. YA
I am posting one book per day from my to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new - don‘t judge me I have a lot of books.
Join the fun if you want. This is day 229.

What can I say about Fable besides that it‘s a very fitting book for me! YA fantasy with a bit of adventure, a bit of romance, and a lot of pirate action. The found family aspect in this book is something I really loved as well!
pickI really liked this one! I‘m always looking for good pirate stories and this one was fun! I liked the characters and I liked the ending that will lead to book 2 which I definitely want now! #bookspinbingo
Any pirate recs appreciated lol! Any genre!! 🤣
pickThis was a good book. I really enjoyed it. I loved Fable. The author did a great job of making her a well rounded character. She fit the story well and I liked following along with her.
The ship setting was awesome. It wasn‘t a pirate ship which was a fun twist. And it felt quite accurate and believable.
I liked all the characters, I liked the ships, I liked the setting. I liked this book. And I‘m looking forward to the second one.
pickYoung has created a new world that you crash into with every wave from the storms. The characters are slowly unfurled with promise of much more to come. Fable is a heroine you urge on, committed to know what will come next for her. This is a great YA novel & the next instalment 'Namesake' has much promise

This is what‘s been happening on my Instagram...the author of the book I just finished is liking what I post about the book. #fangirl #moment and I think I did a little jump for joy. It made my day...my month...and my year. It also happened with the Four Dead Queens book and that author #astridscholte #Litsy #LitsyLovd
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ◼️ I have never been so engrossed in a story...it‘s characters...and it‘s places. I need more ASAP...lucky book 2 is sitting on my bookshelf. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3614900609 #bookspin #bingo #april @TheAromaofBooks
pickWow! This was an intense roller-coaster of emotion. I loved the geographical descriptions and the way this author manipulated my emotions. Such a beautiful reminder of the oceans amazing power. I adored the characters and lost myself completely inside this book.
I recommend this book to anyone who loves a good pirate story!

pickI really enjoyed this series, and devoured it in about 3 days. I did prefer the first book, since it focused more on Fable‘s journey and her integration into the Marigold‘s crew. The second book gets a bit ambitious with its bigger, political plot line and many added characters, and lost me a little bit when the focus shifts away from the high seas adventures and core characters. The central romance was a bit rushed, but still worked for me.
pickI‘m giving this a Pick rating because I love this cover and the read was enjoyable, I‘m just not sure that there was anything really stellar about it. It did end on a cliffhanger and I kind of want to know how this ends.
pickLife interrupted progress on the #20in4 readathon, but I did finish this YA fantasy about a sea merchant's daughter who was abandoned to fend for herself after her mother died. A couple of events didn't make sense to me, and the romance felt forced, but It's fun enough that I'll seek out the sequel.
And I'm calling this my time for the readathon. Thanks for organizing, @Andrew65 !
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I‘ve been a fan of Adrienne Young since her “Sky in the Deep”, and I found that this was a good, quick read. I enjoyed the plot and the characters, however I felt that Fable‘s relationship with West was a bit rushed at the end and a bit abrupt. The book ends in a cliffhanger, and I‘ll definitely have to read the sequel!
pickThis was... SO EFFING GOOD. A world without any magic (hallelujah) but with great world-building, a romance that wasn‘t the center of the plot, interesting side characters and a heroine you can love easily.
I‘m downloading the sequel immediately.

pickThis book was really good, I liked the plot and the overall pirate vibe to this book. The diving and world building was amazing, I could picture all of the reefs and storms so clearly, the author really did a great job with descriptions. I loved all our characters, especially the MC Fable, she is such a big hearted character in a tough world. I loved the slow burn romance too. I loved the cliffhanger at the end, I've already pre-ordered book 2⚓
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I listened to this book as an audiobook and absolutely loved it. It has a storyline/plot that I thought was pretty unique and leaves you aching to get your hands on the sequel (it comes out very soon and I was able to get an ARC of it and it doesn‘t disappoint 😍)

pick5 golden piratey stars for me! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was one of the best books I‘ve read this year. And that cover is just GORGEOUS!❤️
A great way to start a Monday❤️🙏🏼 I‘m really excited to read this one.

#Fable is absolutely fantastic. I was invested from beginning to end and I can‘t wait for book two! 😍😍 Thank you @netgalley and @wednesdaybooks for allowing me an ARC for an honest review 💕
#AdrienneYoung #earc #ebook #bookreview #bookblogger
Just pre-ordered my copy of Fable by Adrienne Young! ❤ I cannot wait to read this book, it's been on my TBR since I heard about it a few months ago.
An upcoming book I‘m excited for! @MonthlyBookClub #mbcgiveaway8 #mbcreadathon
pick😍😍😍😍😍
How much do you love this cover? And the book itself is also great. I couldn't put this down. And I meant to. I was just going to read about half and then wait for the #BookSpin numbers.
Fable is left on an island by her father. And he basically tells her that if she can survive he'll give her something. Great YA fantasy. Pirates.
