Like I said it book one, I really don’t think you can go wrong with pirate stories. These books have been full of so much adventure, found family, scavenger hunting, and also generational mystery which I have really loved. Fable’s relationship with Saint

Namesake is a solid follow up to Fable. In this book, we see more of Fable’s journey as she navigates the intricacies of her world from betrayal, to family drama to figuring out her own relationship with West. The way the author builds this world is still something I appreciate because it’s refreshing not to fall into the usual fantasy tropes. The survival aspect still shines, and there’s a constant sense of danger that makes the book hard to put down.
If you enjoyed Fable, you’ll definitely like this one too. I’m looking forward to seeing how the story wraps up in the third installment, though I may read the prequel "Saint" first.

This book... this duology... is heartbreaking, atmospheric, and full of emotion. Also known as one of the best series of all time.
In B1, the dedication influenced the whole tone of the story, throwing us into a world that we KNOW is going to break our hearts on the journey. The dedication here is definitely not heartbreaking, so the tone of this book is not as sad, lighter but still regretful. If you compare the covers of the books side-by-side, then you will also see that Fable has a more solemn cover than Namesake, which looks a little hopeful.
Fable (the character) has a wonderful perspective. I'm never tired looking through her lens, and that is hard to do. Usually, I get bored of a character if I'm in their head for too long. But Young's style of writing catches me, and I really feel like I'm on a ship with the daughter of the most powerful trader in the Narrows.
At the end of B1, I was terrified for the crew of the Marigold, but I'm so glad that they got what they wanted, Willa especially. I think that the ending for the characters was deserved, and no one deserved it more than Fable.
In this duology, I really like how Fable doesn't like to take nonsense from people, but she does it in a quiet way. She doesn't interrupt or yell at anybody, she doesn't flaunt her power. She just... knows what she wants, when she wants it, and she doesn't like to let anyone stop her. She knows how to protect herself, but at the same time... she's just a girl trying to survive.
I also definitely have a soft spot for her dynamic with her father. I don't want her to lose him! In every scene I saw him in, I just was begging, "Please... don't leave her. LOVE HER." I also cried a little, even though the ending wasn't that sad. I just needed Saint to pick Fable. I needed it. They both suffered so much, and at the end, they came back together, to pick each other up. I love their relationship, and how Fable keeps hoping for Saint to show up. Every scene Saint is in is an amazing scene.
Surprisingly, the romance was not the best part of the book for me. While I like West, the best part of the book was watching Fable and her father heal, and to me, that drove home the story more than the romance ever did.
For me, this book was a wonderful chance for healing. Namesake is about finding family again, and gathering the strength to keep them when you have them. Thank you, Young, for such a beautiful story.
