I binged this and book two on audio while I was sick at the beginning of the year and they made for a great escape/adventure while I was lying miserable in bed.
I really enjoyed the atmospheric descriptions of Fable’s dives and life at sea; I think they were some of the best-written parts of the book. It’s been awhile since I’ve read a book with a nautical setting and it was a really fun change of pace.
My favorite part of the book was Fable’s gradual acceptance into a new found family. She went from a cutthroat existence of survival on Jeval to a, well, still-cutthroat existence with people who have her back — so pretty much all I can ask for, lol.
I enjoyed the various small heists and escapades the characters undertook throughout the book, I thought the budding romance was cute, and even though Fable wasn’t the most relatable character for me, I still cheered for her as she sought to be seen and valued by her father and make a life for herself.
I had a hard time rating this one because I definitely enjoyed it, but overall it wasn’t super memorable for me. Though, to be fair, I don’t retain as much from audiobooks as ebooks or physical books. Maybe I should try a reread in the future.
Overall, Fable was an entertaining and well-written adventure perfect for fans of YA fantasy with strong FMCs and found family; and fans of Pirates of the Caribbean and Daughter of the Pirate King.

This was an easy read and set in an interesting world. However, the relationships, especially the main love story, were just not healthy. I can't say there have been many books where I have been rooting for the main couple to break up, but I feel like they probably should have.

Good to revisit Fable and West and Saint and the various members of this nautical world. Easy, comfortable story telling that simply washes over oneself with a few surprises thrown in along the way. No cliffhangers with this second book, thankfully.
