Namesake by Adrienne Young
3.0

3.5/5 Stars

- Was more fast-paced than first book, which I enjoyed
- Main thing I didn't like about this book was the character development (or rather devolvement). To me, the main characters kinda just became self-absorbed and jerks (especially West). I felt bad for the crew and was really pissed at how West was treating them
- The addition of Clove and Saint into the book was really interesting, and they definitely helped round out the story. Involving other family members made the plot more interesting.
- I think the plot in this book was a lot better than in Fable. There was more going on, more people involved, and more lies/loyalties and plots involved, which made it a much more enjoyable read.
- Overall, the family dynamics and scheming/plots were what I really enjoyed in this book and elevated it above Fable
