It’s about the seas and ships and knowing your value. There isn’t a lot of magic, just cleverness, skills, and girls fighting for their rightful place. I don’t know what makes this book different for me than any other YA fantasy novel I’ve read in the past few years.
How little I knew about how all of that would soon no longer matter. I thought to myself that with this book, I would finally know what everyone was referencing when they were all hyped up about a recent Adrienne Young release. I had heard about it only briefly, and just happened to get ahold of a copy from the library soon after the publishing date, almost unheard of.
When I think back to the moment that I decided I would sit down and read it, I didn’t really know what I was getting myself into.
I did not know how much I would love this book. Together, they will have to survive more than the treacherous storms that haunt the Narrows if they’re going to stay alive. To do so Fable enlists the help of a young trader named West to get her off the island and across the Narrows to her father.īut her father’s rivalries and the dangers of his trading enterprise have only multiplied since she last saw him, and Fable soon finds that West isn’t who he seems. The only thing that keeps her going is the goal of getting off the island, finding her father, and demanding her rightful place beside him and his crew. To survive she must keep to herself, learn to trust no one, and rely on the unique skills her mother taught her. The next day her father abandoned her on a legendary island filled with thieves and little food.
It’s been four years since the night she watched her mother drown during an unforgiving storm. For seventeen-year-old Fable, the daughter of the most powerful trader in the Narrows, the sea is the only home she has ever known.
