Synopsis: As the daughter of the most powerful trader in the Narrows, the sea is the only home seventeen-year-old Fable has ever known. It’s been four years since the night she watched her mother drown during an unforgiving storm. The next day her father abandoned her on a legendary island filled with thieves and little food. To survive she must keep to herself, learn to trust no one and rely on the unique skills her mother taught her. The only thing that keeps her going is the goal of getting off the island, finding her father and demanding her rightful place beside him and his crew. To do so Fable enlists the help of a young trader named West to get her off the island and across the Narrows to her father.
But her father’s rivalries and the dangers of his trading enterprise have only multiplied since she last saw him and Fable soon finds that West isn't who he seems. Together, they will have to survive more than the treacherous storms that haunt the Narrows if they're going to stay alive.
Review: I really loved this book! I thought it was very different from Adrienne Young's other books and I loved that. The book had some great moments, strong character development for main characters, and tons of world building.
However, I do think that some of the other side characters in the book could have been better developed. They existed for the plot and I wanted to know more about them.
Verdict: Highly recommend this pirate-like book!

خیلی داستان معمولی داشت، نه پیچیدگی ای نه شخصیت پردازی خاصی
شاید برای شروع این ژانر جالب باشه

There wasn't anything wrong with this book, but it didn't do much to grip my attention. I didn't connect with the characters or plot and this just felt like another YA fantasy. With all the hype this one had, I really was expecting more.
