Welcome to Litsy!

I liked Fable but didn't really root for West & Fable. Romance wasn't the strongest part in this book. But the thing that I really loved was Fable's relationship with Saint. It touched me.

This had a lot of action but I would have preferred less action and more emotions. Everything happened so fast, I would have loved to have more plotting.

This was fun and entertaining, but I liked the prequel slightly more.

The book is well written. I just don't care for it. I'm not very enthusiastic about this author. But, I see the good points to the story, I just didn't see much point to it. It's like nothing really happens except one or two major things, so it seems boring.

This was a good duology.

The story continues! In this second book, we learn more about Fable‘s mother‘s past. I liked the way the story and characters developed. I could never survive living on a ship, but it‘s fun to read about!

My only wish is that we had a little more at the end. Just a tad bit more of the ever after. A dash more detail. A smidgen more story.

This was the conclusion in the duology beginning with Fable. Adventure, romance, wonderful characters. Both were 5 ⭐️ for me. ❤️❤️

I‘m sad to leave this world! This was just as good as Fable, if not better. Someone else mentioned a prequel, and it‘s coming out in November! Saint and Isolde‘s story 😊

Not sure why I‘m just now getting to this (well, #doublebookspin 😂), but its predecessor (from 2020) was a 5⭐️ for me…I. Loved. It. And this was a wonderfully fitting end for Fable‘s story. At the conclusion of the first book, Fable, a young gem mage, is kidnapped from her love, West and her home on the Marigold by the evil helmsman trader Zola for his own selfish reasons and is forced to dive for treasure. She is then thrown into the 🔻

Just finished these beauties! If you were wondering, this duology lives up to the hype!

I liked the first book (Fable), but this one was better I think. At least it‘s a fitting end to the story…. Fable grows into herself here, and is challenged in different ways.. trying to balance her now with her past, the secrets she‘s learning about her mother and the reality of her father. And I found out a prequel - Saint & Isolde‘s story is hue this fall! #bookspinbingo #bingo #secondbingo #readmyowndamnbooks

This is the second book, Book 1 is Fable. I adore this story & these characters & Namesake was even better than Fable. Same fantasy land rich with trading guilds, gemstones, adventure, but with new unsavory, albeit rich & glamourous characters. More of Fable's life story is revealed & her relationships deepen as she learns more of who she is & what she is made of.

I liked this book more than I did the first one in the series and I loved the adventure and air of mystery surrounding the story. The characters were amazing and I loved reading how they developed throughout the series. I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes to read about pirates, adventures and amazing love stories!

We were salt and sand and sea and storm.
We were made in the Narrows.

It was one long series of tragically beautiful knots that bound us together.

“The answer to that question is always going to be the same. It doesn‘t matter what happens.” His hands tightened on me. “You and me.”

“This didn‘t start that night on Jeval when you asked me for passage to Ceros. It started a long time before that. For me.”

Finished the first book this morning and just had to dive straight into the second book to find out what happens to fable and west!

I adore book that pull you down the rabbit hole and this one did not disappoint. Fable has grown so much in many ways but is still clinging to some “not so good“ habits. She has found her people and from them she grows stronger and more confident with them standing behind her.

In #June I read 4books and listened 2audiobooks.
2fantasy, 1graphic novel, 1thriller, 1nonfiction, and 1memoir

Favourite were Fable and Namesake. Perfect epic fantasy for summer. If you like sea, ships, diving, and secrets you shoul read these 2books.⛵⛵

720 Utripov srca (720 heartbeats) is a thriller from our local author and is translate in english too.

Finished my 3rd book for #MermaidMarathonReads! This is the second book in the Fable duology. It continues with all my favorite characters from Fable, a new quest, and some interesting twists. It moved along quickly and I really liked Young‘s writing style. I listened to the audiobook which was well-done. #100YEARS100BOOKS #86 #TAILSandTALESforADULTS #13 #SERIES2021 #AUDIOJUNE #9

so i haven't been here for a while i'm sorry but i'll be back posting soon ☺️

I‘ve been trying to finish this one for months, but other books and real life got in the way. Namesake is a satisfying conclusion to the duology that answered many of the lingering questions I had at the end of Fable. The final resolution was a little too “easy” after all of the twists that preceded it, but it was still enjoyable. Great escapist pirate adventure for the summer!

Treasure Island meets Pirates of the Caribbean with teenagers/young adults who are just as cut throat as the adults. It is a great coming of age story Young doesn't spend time filling the pages with adults telling teenagers they should do this or not that, she gets on with the story. New & old characters clash in this story with twists and back stabbing plots as the ghosts from the past haunt their every move

Finished this one on Sunday for #NutsinMay - Just haven‘t had a chance to post anything.

This one was really good! A great and satisfying ending to this duology. I‘m really glad I read this series. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Finally got a bingo! #BookSpinBingo

Thanks for sending this along Chrissy! I‘ll send it with the #LMPBC book for Leslie!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ◼️ I seem to be stuck on an #audiobook kick and I can‘t seem to get off of it.... and yes I finished this one in a day!!! #LitsyLove #march #bookspin #bingo https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3975492105

So I am about to start the #sequel to the book I absolutely fell in love....maybe it‘s the #graphicartist in me who thinks the cover #art is breathtaking or the fact that I grew up with #redhair and #freckles or maybe it‘s because it is my #bookspin book for #bingo this month. #LitsyLove

A good followup/wrapup to the Fable duology. Great writing & a fun, dark, conniving atmosphere. Fantastically strong female protagonist in Fable with supporting characters that I NEED more from. Super bad guy, great conflict with greed & cutthroat plotting & scheming. More political intrigue than seafaring in this one, but still fun. A good ending in terms of wrapping things up, but could have been a bit harder-hitting. I want more of this world.

I loved this second book to the Fable duology. I think I liked this one more than the first, the plot continues straight from the ending of Fable, which I really liked. This book was full of love, not just romance but the love between family and friendships. I liked the plot twists and the world building, the descriptions of the dives were so vivid which I loved. I also found that the ending had the perfect closure for fans of the series❤

Oh my gossshhhh this book was so beautiful! It was hard to get into on the first half of the book. But I enjoy the parts of her in the water. The way she explains the way the character feels on the water, it's like the water is a character itself. This book is absently stunningly written. I could have read this book all day long. I don't think there is going to be another one, but I would LOVE it if there was 🥰

I truly adored these books! Fable was the perfect setup for Namesake. I don't want to give too much away but I loved the development/maturation of the characters. Following them through happiness, anger and even despair was a fantastic journey. I was sad when the book was finished but it felt like such a fulfilling ride.

If you liked Fable, you'll definitely want to read this!

📖📚Happy Reading!📚📖

Finished this today, love the ease of the kindle but I still prefer an actual book!

It‘s a fun book the characters are very well written! Adrienne young is amazing writer. And the cover of the book is awesome

⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5

Didn't love Fable. Tried this one anyway but bailing halfway...
If you want a good female badass pirate read the Daughter of a Pirate King, Daughter of a Mermaid Queen duology by Tricia Levenseller instead.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I find that most sequels tend to disappoint compared to the previous book, but “Namesake” was a solid and entertaining end to this duology. However, one of my main critiques of this book was that I wasn‘t a fan of how West and Fable‘s relationship was written and it felt forced at times. In addition, I wish there had been a book map since the first book had one and the book references multiple different ports and landmarks.

Overall Rating 4¼⭐ | Narration 😀 = Good
Duology Rating 4½⭐
Swashbuckling, free-diving for gems, family secrets, and back-stabbing are just a few of the elements you will find in this book. You‘ll also find endearing friendships that have a familial feel to them and even a little bit of a sweet romance. All of which make this a truly fun and heartfelt story.
