WHATTT THAT ENDING IS CRAZYYY
This book was soooo good. I read it so fast I couldn’t believe how much of an easy but fun read this was.
There’s not much to say other than I love Fable and West and his crew and can’t wait to read Namesake next.

Es la primera vez que leo un libro de la autora y me ha gustado. Siento que la historia tiene un ritmo muy marcado y que no introduce relleno innecesario. Además, los personajes son *chef kiss*, primero tenemos a la protagonista Fable, que me gustó muchísimo (hace tiempo que no pasaba eso), porque es una chica que hace lo que tiene que hacer y que no siempre le gusta, que no es perfecta, que se equivoca, que sabe que con algunas decisiones la esta cagando pero igual elige hacerlo, es bastante real, y sin tocar la relación que tiene con su padre, la cual tiene tantas matices y despierta en ella muchos sentimientos que quizá no quiera tener hacia el pero la tragedia los une y eso hace una complejidad en su relación exquisita (mas que todo porque no esperé encontrar esto en este libro).
Lo otro es el poco romance que tiene, me encanta, porque si bien es poco es hermoso es tal cual lo que uno necesita y te deja queriendo más para el siguiente libro. Un puntaso, en serio, porque la historia no se centra para nada en el romance, y es que hay muchas cosas más importantes que pasan en el libro.
Otra cosa que tiene a su favor es la ambientación, no he leído muchos libros así, entonces quizás pueda estar condicionada por ello.
Lo que si puedo decir que le faltó es que siento que durante te trabajan ciertas incógnitas y que al final nunca las resuelven (igual se que hay otro libro y que quizás por eso lo hacen), siempre que están por decir algo, queda en nada.
Ya estoy empezando el segundo.

I found Fable to be an enjoyable read, but I have mixed feelings about this book.
First of all, I got interested in this book because I kept seeing it everywhere and everyone seemed to absolutely love it. And honestly the actual premise of the book sounded super interesting to me. But I kept hesitating because I wasn’t sure if I was going to like it or not.
And I have to say, when I read the first two chapters, I was not convinced at all. My mind kept drifting away from the book because the descriptions were a little bit too long for me. So I actually stopped reading it for two days, thinking I might DNF it all together.
But then I was actually intrigued because I wanted to see what people were seeing in this book. So I pushed through and it definitely became better than I originally thought it would be.
The story is actually quite good, the plot was enough to keep me intrigued and even surprised me in some aspects. And I actually loved the romance between Fable and West. It is definitely on the slow side of things, but I think it suited the story and the universe of the book.
The only thing that bothered me was the sailing vocabulary. I guess it made the book more real, but I really struggled to understand what the characters were saying when using those specific words. So, I just sort of imagined their actions based on the little knowledge that I have of the sea and actual boat sailing.
But then I adore books that happen on boats, and I thing Adrienne Young really captured that feeling, and every diving scene was just amazing and super well done.
That being said, the ending was pretty predictable in my opinion and maybe a little abrupt, but I am still super intrigued and can’t wait for the second book.
