mistylombardo 's review for:
Namesake
by Adrienne Young
I loved this little duology and the writing style in both this book and Fable. Adrienne Young writes so you can always feel her characters emotions so heavily. The planning and the way the novel ties together was quite well done. I loved that we got so more insight into Isolde and her story as well as their family history (I just wanted more).
My only issue with both books, and why I gave only 4 stars for both is because I feel like the writer could have done so much more with this story. I wanted more about the characters (Isode, West, Clove, Saint), more about the build-up to the romance (the relationship between West and Fable was a bit immature), more about the build-up to the ending, and more of the camaraderie of the Merigold throughout both books.
I did like how the end addressed the relationship between Fable and Saint. I loved the feelings of connection Fable had with Isode and what happened at the conclusion with this. You really felt her presence along with Fable at times.
I would definitely recommend this quick duology to anyone wanting a fun and magical feeling YA read.
