The Last Legacy by Adrienne Young

sian_hughes_jones's review against another edition

I think I didn’t like it as much because I listened to a few in a row. She goes back to family in bastion after being raised elsewhere by an aunt. Falls in love with the silver smith slave that the family own and makes a deal which keeps everyone happy and they can escape. Relationship not built upon and a bit quick so seemed a bit vacuous. It’s is the family of Oster in the other books from whom he escaped

I loved being back in the Fable world even if this book takes place entirely on land unlike the others. I enjoyed seeing into the Roth family after making the connections from the earlier books even if some of them aren’t very likeable. This book is very fast and I felt like it could have been a touch longer to better develop the connection between Bryn and Ezra as well as to add a little closure. I like stories that are wrapped up neatly and this one didn’t do it but I still found it an enjoyable read. 

Content Notes: Fade to black romance

I think the World of the Narrows is one of my favorite worlds I’ve encountered in a long time. I could read a million books set in this universe and be so happy. What can I even say about this book? It’s incredible! The romance was so well written, the family and politics so dynamic, and the plot riveting! I didn’t put this book down once as I read it. I enjoyed the main character, although I do think at times she drifted into YA girl main character syndrome, especially with her aversion to dresses and seeing herself as special. However, it definitely didn’t take away from the story, so i’m not too mad about it. Still 100% recommend to anyone with a love for beautiful world building and thrilling story!

I enjoyed this book, and it took me a few chapters before I realized that it was set in the same world as Fable. I know I'm slow to catch on sometimes.
Bryn is a very capable young woman just trying to find her place in her mafia like family. She wants to fit in but on her own terms.
Ezra, whom we met before, is dark and mysterious, so of course, she is drawn in.
I felt that maybe this could have been a duology, so it didn't feel so rushed. I really liked the story but it felt like it all happened a bit, too fast.

There just really didn't seem to be a whole lot to this, and I didn't like it anywhere near as much as the Fable duology. I also wasn't feeling the instalove. That said, I was entertained for the most part.

I’ve said it before, & I’ll say it again—Adrienne Young has such a subtle yet unmistakable POWER in her storytelling. It’s in her voice. It’s in her morally gray characters. It’s in the atmosphere of her worlds.
LAST LEGACY is no different. In fact, I’d say this quality of hers grows more poignant in each & every book.
I loved the Roth’s with their cut-throat loyalty & their questionable morals.
I loved Bryn’s story, how it wove into Ezra’s, & how the choices each of them made sealed their fate in the final pages.
I cannot wait for SAINT & I cannot wait for all Adrienne’s storytelling soul has in store.
