"You were made for a far better world than this one, Fable,"

I LOVED THIS BOOK! Seriously! When I wasn't reading about it, I was thinking about it. Every time I hear the name Fable, I now feel like she has to be our redheaded main character because of how real she (and all the other characters) feel in this story. The world is so unique and fleshed out with descriptive, captivating writing that transported me right to The Narrows.
I loved West and Fable's relationship and how it wasn't an immediate instalove. The scene between them when they are diving for the Lark was so perfect!
The cast of crew on the Marigold were so realistic, I had a great time getting to know them and really seeing how they all look out for each other and end up accepting Fable. I really truly feel like this is a real world, which just attests to how well Adrienne Young wrote it. 

It ended up taking me a year to read this book, not because I wasn't enjoying it, but because I was stalling and didn't want it to end! 

I can't wait to read the next book in the series especially because of that jam-packed ending!
