Fable by Adrienne Young
4.0
Thanks to Netgalley and St. Martin's Press for an egalley in exchange for an honest review.
First, I just love the name Fable it sounds so sweet and mystical a name fitting for someone of great destiny. As for the story it was magnificent Adrienne set the table nicely by giving me little samples for what is to come in the next book. By giving me what I needed instead of what I might have wanted. Every character stand on their own in way that I could follow any of their story including Koy. Nobody is just a foot note they all have a defining present in Fable’s story even characters we have not even meet yet.
Saint and Isolde, I desire to know their story so badly the way Adrienne just drops little gems about Fable’s parents’ history. I am ready for the novella/prequel of how they came to be. Anytime they are talked about or how Fable reminisced about the small moments that they shared together I just wanted to know them. Also, I want to get a little POV from Saint to grasp how he truly feel about Fable and her mother and how he became the beholden man of great and dangerous power.
Fable is just such a down to earth girl who is navigating through her world with such strength and poise. I love how she handles making mistakes by owning them and then learning from them. She never crumbles under her short comings; she honors the code of her lifestyle that her father has installed in her with such determination to be his equal. At the heart of this book is a father/daughter love story of having to forsaken what you treasure dearly and keeping it buried or you will be buried in returned.
Adrienne Young is just getting better and better with each new book releases that I am just enjoying and appreciating her she styles of writing as well as her she conveys these mythologies and genre in way that is unpredictable. It is very refreshing to read a book with no preconceived notion of how it will play out. Young does more showing than telling with her stories she gives you just enough to keep you engaged as you journey along with these fascinating characters. Always making a reader wanting for more.
