This is the second in the Fable duology, and it picks up RIGHT where Fable left off (thank goodness, because can we say CLIFFHANGER?) This felt different in some ways to Fable - when explaining them, I tend to categorize Fable as a pirate-y fantasy adventure with a found family feel, whereas Namesake had much more of a political intrigue feel. That being said, I was 100% here for it!

I loved getting more backstory on the crew, and having some of them really come into their own as side characters. I absolutely loved the re-introduction of previous characters into more of a main role, and the depth and complexity the were subsequently given. And the ending??? Oh, but also that part right before the ending??? Oh but what about the part when they get you-know-where?? (There's so many good parts, in case you couldn't tell.)

Honestly y'all, it was just a fantastic book and I enjoyed it to bits! I've read it twice before pub date and I plan on re-reading the whole series while relaxing at the beach this summer. If you are looking for a series to fly through with adventure, mystery, just a touch of romance, and amazing characters, Adrienne Young's Fable duology is the SERIES FOR YOU.
