Wow!! Such a fun and unique book! With the way the first book ended I was super curious how this second one would go and I’ll be honest I’m extremely happy with how this book turned out!
I loved how every character between the prequel and the first book showed up within this book and how everything tied together so nicely. I enjoyed the suspense in the plot and the curiosity of what is going to happen next that kept going throughout the book.
I also really enjoyed the character developments as well. You get to see Fable and West learn to lean on each other and work together, you get to see Saint and Clove’s story come full circle and you get to see the justice that started in the prequel finally take place at the end of this book and the satisfaction of it.
Overall I really enjoyed this book and would definitely recommend reading this series.
You’ll enjoy this book if you like:
•Pirates/Ocean theme
•Strong Relationships
•Found Family
•”I’ll Find You No Matter What”

this started off so good and then entirely lost me when the Marigold was back. kinda unsatisfying ending, too. if they'd focused entirely on the family stuff and left out West entirely, I probably would have liked this series more in the end …? but who knows.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for the free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. My opinion was not affected by the free copy.
I'm sorry about this but I'm putting this on the DNF pile. I tried but now I feel like I'm forcing my way through, and that's never a good sign when it comes to books. The first book I thought was decent-- slow and laid-back as it was more about a personal journey than anything action-oriented. After getting about halfway through this book, I'm really starting to feel like Fable was meant to be a stand-alone or should have been left as one.
The first thirty percent or so of this book is dedicated to a certain setting and plotline that just ends. I don't know whether or not it will have any relevance in the overall story but it honestly doesn't feel like it will. If that thirty percent was cut or changed, I don't think the book would suffer. After it ends another plot started and that was where I stopped reading. Maybe this second plot will carry through the rest of the book or maybe it'll end, too, I don't know. To me, it felt like the author didn't have a solid plan for what to do after that cliffhanger ending of the first book. The other two novels I read from this author are stand-alones that take place in the same world, and maybe that's more to the author's strengths.
I think this duology either needed to stay as one book and just be a little longer, or things needed to be fleshed out more in order to justify it being a duology. Zola needed to be fleshed out more, as did Clove and his relationship with Fable; there needed to be more development of Fable and West's relationship whether that mean shipmates or lovers; more could have been explored with Fable's mother, as halfway through I still know very little about her.
I'm sure there are those who will love this book anyway, but for me there just wasn't enough to satisfy me.
