It was cute and at least it was short! The character motivations confused me. Every other chapter it felt like Bryn changed her mind about whether she wanted to be a Roth or not. I got confused because multiple statements from the author contradicted each other. The romance went from 0 to 100 it was like out of nowhere. I think the tension we were supposed to be feeling just wasn’t there. I want to want to read Saint and Tides & Drift, but after this book I just don’t know if there’s any more to this story that I feel like I need to know.

This a stand-alone from the Fable world, Brin is the Peaky Blinder's girl boss you have always wanted, suspenders and vest included. Literally, her love interest verbatim looks like the main actor from Peaky Blinders! I love her cleverness and her own character arc through out the novel. Plot: good
Setting: great
characters: okay could have been better
protagonist: stunning
romance: Swoon over that scarred hotness

I was glad to see another book from the Fable World. You do not necessarily need to read Fable first, but you will miss out on the world building and complex roles that are discussed in this installment. Byrn was a strong heroine, and I admired her nerve and intelligence.

Actual Rating: 3.5
This was enjoyable, but I think it just needed more. Perhaps a longer book to fully develop the characters, because that's where I struggled the most.
TW: violence, abuse, manipulation, threat of violence

As far as plot and romance go, it’s not my most favorite I’ve ever read. It was a little quick for me and felt like the story could have had so much more meat to it given the right time. However!!! Adrienne Young has an absolutely insane talent for writing characters that you cannot help but fall in love with. I only bemoan the speed of the story because I wanted more time with Bryn and Ezra. I want to know what happens next, so very desperately. It is undeniable that Young has consistently written incredible characters, and I can only hope that she will come back to the World of the Narrows one day and bring us along for the ride. Truly, my only criticism is the speed. I would have read pages and pages of falling in love and learning the cunning of the Roths. I would have read chapters upon chapters about the brotherhood between Murrow and Ezra. I just wanted more!! And I am hoping and praying that one day she will bless us with it.

”Bastian unfolded like a book and a small smile lifted on my lips. It was a city of stories. But not all of them had happy endings.”
3⭐️
IT’S NOT A BAD BOOK, it’s just not for me. i really wanted to like this, but it took me three long days to read this, with taking a break every few pages or chapters. i think i only binged it this evening because i really wanted to finish it.
”I see a girl hiding beneath silk skirts. Makes me wonder what you’re afraid they’ll see.”
bryn was okay character for me to read about, nothing too special. i liked her, she was decent. same with any other character. henrik, on the other hand, was getting on my nerves.
“I’d spent my life pretending to be a soft thing with petals. A thing that grew in the sunlight. But I was beginning to wonder if I was a creature of darkness, like the faces that sat around my uncle’s table.”
now, ✨romance✨ this author, specifically in this series /it’s the only one i’ve read of hers/ writes kind of instalove/attractions. you don’t get too much scenes between fmc and mmc and suddenly they are in love. somehow that didn’t bother me in fable, we had two books for their happy ending, but with this one? …… she had more chemistry with her cousin, murrow than with ezra. or at least, that’s how i felt.
“I started thinking I could leave, too.” “You still can.” “That was before.” “Before what?” “Before I had a reason to stay.”
the story as a whole was just not completely captivating, some parts were too much and i felt overwhelmed. yes, in a 300 pages book. like, bryn was going from zero to hundred in a span of seconds. one second she is all for her family and legacy, and the next she is plotting against? get it together girl.
