I’m really really interested to see what’s going to happen and name sake, now that Fable is on a completely different journey, one that she did not choose and definitely does not want. It’s a great moment because Fable has just found her place with Marigold crew and is finally feels like she has a purpose, she’s confronted her father and has accepted this part of her past, and things are really looking up. I’m obviously not going to give away spoilers, but this book ends with a wonderful cliffhanger that I feel completely set us up for the second novel, which is supposed to come out in March 2021. Fable, like the reader, is learning about the crew and the nuanced aspects of the different relationships each of them have with the others, and we are really given the chance to get to know everyone. It can be hard to connect with secondary characters, but I love the way she developed Fable’s relationship with the crew of the Marigold and how we got to see the other characters relationships with each other.

Young has done a beautiful job introducing us to these characters and letting us get to know them, even though we only have Fable’s POV.

I loved this book (I completely flew through reading it) and I’m so excited to talk about it. Martin's Press was willing to send me an ARC of the novel so I could read and talk about it before it's September release. When Fable was first announced, I was thrilled to find out that Young had a third novel coming out, and that this one would be part of a duology! Luckily, St. Her slow world-building and narrator-moved storytelling captured my attention and I loved the way her characters developed. I fell in love with Adrienne Young's writing when I read her first novel, Sky in the Deep. Martin's Press for sending me an advanced reader copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
