Fable

Spoiler-Free Review:

I am forever blown away by Adrienne Young's storytelling ability. She weaves plot and character beautifully. I expected this to be a good read because I've really enjoyed her other works. Let's get into it... This story follows our female main character, Fable. Fable is a young woman who is on a mission to get off of the island in which she was abandoned as a child and find her purpose. She is picked up by a crew of great side characters, and that is where the story picks up. There are secrets and mysteries and intrigue, and at the end of it all a twist and cliffhanger that has me wanting to pick up Namesake pretty soon. I took off one star just because I felt like it needed just a bit more action. I think this will come in Namesake (book 2) but I felt like this was all groundwork and then it ended pretty abruptly. I am still looking forward to Namesake and then Last Legacy which also takes place in this world. I preordered Saint when B&N. Had their hardcover sale, and I'm curious, is it a prequel about Saint's life or is it a continuation. Let me know if you know! This is a pretty solid YA read, 14+
