Namesake was the sequel I was hoping for! I fell in love with Fable in the first book in this duology and I truly enjoyed continuing to see her growth in Namesake. Her cleverness, resilience, and ability to navigate complicated and dangerous situations made this a book I couldn’t put down.
At first, I was worried I wouldn’t have as much time with the lovable Marigold crew but I was not disappointed. They were all there and I could never get enough of West. The additional characters including Holland really helped to take this adventure to the next level and there were quite a few surprises along the way. I don’t want to give anything away but I loved these books and I am sure that it’s a series that I will be rereading.

Namesake is a wild ride. If you thought Fable was intense and fast paces, you ain’t seen nothing yet!Namesake opens where Fable left off. Fable is aboard the Luna, Zola’s ship, with Clove at the head.Of course seeing the man you thought would never betray your father, standing on a ship with a captain who just killed you would probably make you a little grumpy.For the first several pages I feel that all Fable does is glare at Clove for doing this unspeakable thing. The only thing that pulls her attention away is the fact that Zola is headed out of the Narrows and toward the Unnamed Sea.Fable must put her grievances with her father’s former navigator aside as she navigates her own perilous waters.From here the story only gets juicier. The histories and plot twists that Young comes up with are perfect for this series!Eventually West shows up. Trying not to spoil anything, but you know he’s got to be in the sequel.So West shows up and is a complete idiot! He is still falling into his old pattern of saving the the damsel in distress who don’t need no man!I feel strongly about this. West is a good character who is only trying to do the right thing. But some communication would save everyone a whole lot of hurt!But the lack thereof makes for a good plot. So I really can’t be complaining too much.All that said, it makes for a good character and a good story.Again, Young does an amazing job of giving us a world that we can live in. Bastian is a beautiful city with beautiful, if slightly rude, people.I love the juxtaposition of Fable and the characters from the Narrows to all of Bastian. Young sets this up to be pirates walking into Buckingham Palace. Great!I do want to touch on Saint for just a moment. I really don’t want to spoil anything and it’s going to be really hard, but let me just say this. Saint is my new favorite character in this series.I liked him in the first book. He was stoic and secretive, but still looked out for his daughter. But in Namesake, Saint becomes a new man and I love it!Young again gives us a thrilling, beautifully written adventure to explore and fall in love with. I couldn’t have asked for more from this book.I am asking, however, for a couple of spin-offs. Young has said that this is the finale to the Fable series, but that doesn’t mean that she can’t stay in the same world, even if she totally set this last book up for the possibility of a return to Fable and her story.If you love fast paced action and romance, this is the perfect series for you. I can’t recommend this series enough! So good!

Namesake is a wild ride. If you thought Fable was intense and fast paces, you ain’t seen nothing yet!
Namesake opens where Fable left off. Fable is aboard the Luna, Zola’s ship, with Clove at the head.
Of course seeing the man you thought would never betray your father, standing on a ship with a captain who just killed you would probably make you a little grumpy.
For the first several pages I feel that all Fable does is glare at Clove for doing this unspeakable thing. The only thing that pulls her attention away is the fact that Zola is headed out of the Narrows and toward the Unnamed Sea.
Fable must put her grievances with her father’s former navigator aside as she navigates her own perilous waters.
From here the story only gets juicier. The histories and plot twists that Young comes up with are perfect for this series!
