3.5 - Enjoyable, easy read. I like that this series has a different setting than everything else I’ve read. I found the amount of secret deals/schemes a little annoying lol. Felt like the Inception of schemes - a scheme within a scheme within a scheme within a scheme. I also found the midnight location obvious, not sure if the writer meant it to be like that as a way to draw the reader in. I just kept thinking, the necklace, check the necklace!! Or the name of the location plus Fable feeling her mother’s presence there, come on Fable!! But it did all tie together well which I do always enjoy :)

I enjoyed this one just as much as the first! This series was so amazing ! I couldn’t put it down! Adrienne Young is definitely a favorite author of mine. ❤️
Where to even begin...... I LOVE IT. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED READING IT! Namesake is the sequel to Fable and my god, I was crying over how much it touched me. Namesake picks up right where Fable left off with Fable being taken by Zola and forced onto his ship. The story follows her as she navigates surviving Zola, meeting Holland, and going on a quest to find a rare stone that only her mother found, all the while trying to keep the Marigold crew from being taken by Holland and trying to free not only herself but Saint. The real heart of this book was the growing relationship between Saint and Fable, that beautiful kind of family love, that they would do anything and love each other no matter what because thats what family does. I adored their connection and the unraveling of what truly happened to Fable when Saint left her on the island. The reasons for the complicated decisions they both made and I just... there really are no words for the beautiful relationship. I did love seeing the Marigold crew again and I loved the relationship between West and Fable. West and Fable are two people who will do anything for those that mean something to them, they will shoulder all the costs and go to the ends of the earth, and seeing them trying to protect each other was a wonderful thing to see. Yes, they’re in love, but the beautiful thing is that, they found a family in each other and that was what was so beautiful in their relationship. I just adored everything about this book and thought it was a wonderful way to end the duology. ( Honestly, I wouldn’t mind more books... I so badly want to know more about Saint). This book had so much, from family love, friendships, love, adventure, deceptions, and above all, what it means to be part of a crew.

It was alright but it could’ve been better, the first book was good and was better off as a stand-alone.

What a read!! To me it was a bit slower than the first one since the majority our girl Fable was just angrily doing work on another person’s ship, BUT the ending had me hooked! I didn’t care so much for all the little games everyone was playing constantly though, how Fable got stuck in all of it. I would’ve loved seeing more of the Marigold crew!!
When Saint finally spoke out and said “my daughter” at the end my eyes welled with tears ((much as Fable’s eyes constantly did in the books) it legit happened so many times). Or when she figured out her Mom’s necklace had the midnight gemstone in it, I had lil goosebumps! Such an adventurous story, I absolutely love the way Young writes!
