Synopsis – Namesake by Adrienne Young
Trader. Fighter. Survivor.
With the Marigold ship free of her father, Fable and its crew were set to start over. That freedom is short-lived when she becomes a pawn in a notorious thug’s scheme. 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.
As 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. If Fable is going to save them then she must risk everything, including the boy she loves and the home she has finally found.
Filled with action, emotion, and lyrical writing, New York Times bestselling author Adrienne Young returns with Namesake, the final book in the captivating Fable duology.
Book Review
Namesake is the second book in the duology. You will need to start the duology with Fable. If you want to know what book 1 is about. Click HERE.
Namesake was exactly what I hoped it to be. It was such a beautiful story, full of twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat. The author truly has a way with words that make me feel so much for the characters. I was truly invested in this story. I’ve said it before and I’m saying it again, Adrienne Young is becoming one of my favorite YA authors.
She did such a wonderful job wrapping up the story. I wish there were more of Fable and more adventure and romance, but I’m happy with how it ends.
I won’t say much because I don’t want to spoil book 1 or 2, so I’ll say this. The story picks up where book 1 left off. The world building is even more developed. This story will push our beloved characters even further and I have to say that they are truly well fleshed out with their flaws and qualities. The story will keep you on your toes because there are no dull moments. Namesake is truly a riveting story and I highly recommend it.
