Namesake by Adrienne Young
3.5
Adrienne Young is an author I liked because I just love the setting of her worlds. From the mountainous cold to the heat of the open ocean and they are all such harsh world yet her heroines are made even stronger. I have to admit I have a thing for pirates too so I really had to read this series.
I had a discussion with a friend the other week that we hate miscommunication trope and perhaps are growing out of our love for YA. Even as characters promise to do better by being honest and open, then they go ahead and do the opposite. That is one reason I've taken a star off for this book. That was a bit frustrating; this is book 2, can we just work together already!? But okay, all relationships need work and they obviously need to work better together.
<i>Namesake</i> was fairly easy to read and was even difficult to put down at the start (until we reach the rocky bits, for me anyway). I had to agree with a minor character about why does it always have to be about Fable 🤣 It's besides the point that Fable is the main protagonist, of course! However, I loved that she sorted out her father issue in this book. It was even really quite heartwarming. On the other hand, while I enjoyed the read, I didn't find it as intense as her other books.
<i>"It was one long series of tragically beautiful knots that bound us together"</i>
