I didn't find the conclusion as compelling as the first book in the duology. Most of the supporting characters were dragged along for the ride, and the fact is pointed out in universe with zero consequences. Even the "villains" don't take many actions against our heroes, remaining vague threats and potential political opponents (who are easily out-maneuvered, turns out!). The plot was a little boring, our crew isn't in the same level of danger as the first book, there are no tragic deaths or noble sacrifices. At the end of the day, this book was mostly melodrama: Fable being naive, Fable being more upset about lying than murder, Fable just wanting her Daddy and her boyfriend to say "I love you" to make everything okay, Fable being rescued instead of taking agency... At one point, I realized I was just reading to get it over with, there was no more suspense or joy carrying the plot :/. Disappointing.
This book was a lovely conclusion to this duology.
It starts right where we left off in Fable: she has been kidnapped by Zola and has to find a way to survive and head back to the Narrows - to West and the Marigold.
If you liked Fable, you're also going to enjoy Namesake. I really enjoyed this story, even though it didn't completely blow me out of the water. Which is probably due to my own expectations about the book. The story itself is beautifully crafted and I liked the characters.
Anyway I recommend reading it if you're in the mood for a little water adventure.

3.5 stars
This duology was such a fun read! The second book is definitely more fast paced than the first one, and more packed with action. There were some things I didn’t love, but overall it was fun and light and perfect for procrastinating my studies

I really like books set on boats. I'm not sure this one quite lives up to the first book, but it was still a fun, piratey, YA read.
