Awesome conclusion to all the intrigue. I think the included Drift excerpt points to the plot of book 4. Willa is heading to the Marigold.

This duology delivers.
Intrigue. Slightly star crossed lovers, adventure on the high seas, more intrigue...and also a heartfelt story about family and found family. I really enjoyed. Will read again. I will definitely check out more Adrienne Young books, also.

The first book was better but this was a great continuation, regardless. The adventure, twists and turns, and the danger of it all was so fun. I would recommend this series heartily, especially to fans of things like Six of Crows

Finishing Namesake made me feel like I was saying goodbye to friends.
I didn't want this to end, I deliberately took my time in the final chapters to prolong my read, I could of happily continued reading they're stories and where they all ended up.
I loved Fable and was hesitant going into Namesake hoping it wasn't going to let Fable down, it absolutely did not.
There were points I was holding my breath not knowing how they were going to get out of situations, I was sweating at some stages, I felt ALL the emotions while reading this.
The characters were in-depth, with emotion and back stories that made you love and care for them, the friendships and relationships felt relastic, the emotions they felt weren't over the top or lack luster, it was exactly what you would expect to feel in that situation.
The complex relationship between Fable and Saint was heartbreaking, raw and beautiful, and I loved that we got to see a softer side to Saint at the end.
West is my new fictional boyfriend and I will physically fight anyone for that sweet tortured boy, he deserves to be protected at all costs!

"Namesake" is the second book of Fable, and it lives up to its prequel. The magic is there, the whole irate-navy sea adventure atmosphere is there and the dynamic main character is also ready for new adventures. The story is fairly well paced and uses the plot twists well. I also enjoyed the theme of father daughter relationship that the book promoted. Also, the use of old characters was pretty clever. However, when it came to romance, it felt like things were being repeated. Still, the writing was great, the characters interesting and everything got nicely wrapped up.
