Trader. Fighter. Survivor.

With the Marigold ship free of her father, Fable and its crew were set to start over. That freedom is short-lived when she becomes a pawn in a notorious thug’s scheme. In order to get to her intended destination she must help him to secure a partnership with Holland, a powerful gem trader who is more than she seems.

As Fable descends deeper into a world of betrayal and deception she learns that her mother was keeping secrets, and those secrets are now putting the people Fable cares about in danger. If Fable is going to save them then she must risk everything, including the boy she loves and the home she has finally found.

Filled with action, emotion, and lyrical writing, New York Times bestselling author Adrienne Young returns with Namesake, the final book in the captivating Fable duology.

10 chapters

(view spoiler)[holy crap, West is burning other ships? that can't be good for his crew (hide spoiler)]

and(view spoiler)[ holy crap, did he really just kill ryland?? i wonder how he knew he was the one that did something to Fable? (hide spoiler)]

20 chapters

(view spoiler)[ what a dangerous deal. I hope she knows what she's doing. when she disappeared, it wasn't her dad burning ships, it was West. and now she's gotten him into more danger (hide spoiler)]

30 chapters

(view spoiler)[ I'm glad that Willa got her say but it was a rough way to deliver it. but at least she can break out on her own. (and Koy seems to like Willa an awful lot...lol) (hide spoiler)]

but(view spoiler)[ she didn't find the midnight. what now? hmmmm (hide spoiler)]

and I'm done!

OMG (view spoiler)[ wow, I had no idea that Saint would out-maneuver Holland like that!! With 2 counts - the fake gems and the murder!!
and then to claim her too! So glad, because West signing when he hadn't talked to her. Ugh. So glad they were able to talk about trust and some of their issues (hide spoiler)]

This was absolutely wonderful!! Fingers crossed she gives us more (view spoiler)[ even if we get a side story about Koy and Willa!!! (hide spoiler)]

ch 11 (view spoiler)[ I'm glad Wes is looking for her and I hope he finds her before anything bad happens.
It's interesting that Koy killed Ryland since Fable and Koy aren't friends. Hmm (hide spoiler)]

I think (view spoiler)[ Fable said it was just the 3 of them in that area so he probably saw something (hide spoiler)]

ch 21 (view spoiler)[ I'm be mad at Fable too if I were the crew. She's being selfish and it's hurting others. Why make a deal for Saint? He hasn't really shown her love since her mom died and I think he can take care of himself. (hide spoiler)]

Yeah I thought it was a bad plan

ch 31 (view spoiler)[ They went through all that looking for the midnight and found nothing, what a waste. I don't know how the meeting is going to turn out (hide spoiler)]

Finished (view spoiler)[ Well, I'm not sure Holland will just let her empire go, but at least they won for now.

I'm glad Willa got to do what she wanted and it kind of seemed like maybe she and Koy are together?

Saint telling Fable how much he loved her was my favorite part. That's all she wanted this whole time was for him to be her dad (hide spoiler)]

I'd like a side story too! Maybe just a novella?

Fingers crossed! I'd love a novella!!! :D

I always read the books I anticipate the most at the last possible moment x) I don't know why.

14% - (view spoiler)[I hope Koy isn't going to stab her in the back or something because I kind of like him right now. (hide spoiler)]
25% - (view spoiler)[Yess Clove is on her side or her father's at least! (hide spoiler)]
45% - (view spoiler)[So West is telling her how bad he is because of what he's done etc but we already know the info he's giving us.. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[I think you got confused ^^ It was Clove that came and murdered Ryland in his sleep. Koy was only watching her from his own hammak/bunk/whatever. That's how Fable knew Clove must have killed Ryland to protect her and that he was on her side after all. But yeah Koy saved her and I loved that moment :) (hide spoiler)]

OH, that makes more sense!

ahah yeah

Finished - (view spoiler)[Wow I loved this book so much! I was afraid it wouldn't live up to my expectations compared to book one but it really did. I loved how they played her and managed to accuse her. (hide spoiler)]

Aly wrote: "Finished ..."

omg yes (view spoiler)[The father/daughter bonding was amazing. (hide spoiler)] Also, I would love a novella like you mentioned (view spoiler)[Koy and Willa seemed really sweet together (hide spoiler)]. I can't believe it's already over :)

Just got approved. Starting this one tonight!

8% (view spoiler)[ I love Adrienne Young doesn't pull back the punches. She probably thought, "How can this get any worse?" Having Fable and Koy in one ship... he's not bound by Zolla's promise-- although he'd die if he kill Fable-- so I'm curious if/how he'll try to get back at her. (hide spoiler)]

I'm excited you're reading this!
