Fable by Adrienne Young

drizzleandhurricanebooks's review against another edition

4.0

Trigger warnings:

Spoiler

murder, drowning, grief, blood, injuries, death of a parent (off page), parental abandonment, violence.

I was pleasantly surprised by that one! I wasn't certain to fall for this kind of premise, but I did. I was captivated by the writing, the world and ended up really enjoying and rooting for the characters, too.
Full review coming soon!

Thank you to Titan Books for the e-ARC of this book via NetGalley. This did not, in any way, influence my thoughts and rating.

as a fantasy adventure this book is good. As a fantasy romance, it is terrible. I felt no connection to the couple and their relationship felt like there was no buildup for the payoff so I didn't feel like they really cared about

breannaspiegel's review against another edition

It’s been a long time since I’ve read a YA book as well and tightly written as Fable. It’s full of action and betrayal, populated by sea traders who are not much better than legalized pirates. The character development and relationships are heartfelt and poignant, from the perfect dash of romance to Fable earning the crew’s trust to the convoluted past that lies between Fable and her father. The writing is quick and powerful, full of delicious descriptions that you have to pause and savor. I will warn you, though—Fable will leave you reeling and gasping for breath worse than a dredger coming up from a deep sea dive.

I tried making it to a hundred pages, but it's too fucking boring that I just didn't care anymore. I might pick this one up in future, but I am really going to have to be in the mood for it. It's a shame since I fell in love with this author's other books. Definitely will consider picking up in future.
