NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING SERIES A REESE WITHERSPOON x HELLO SUNSHINE BOOK CLUB YA PICK Filled with all of the action, emotion, and lyrical writing that brought readers to Sky in the Deep, New York Times bestselling author Adrienne Young returns with Fable, the first book in this new captivating duology.

What initially drew me to Fable, was the stunning cover (I am a sucker for a good cover)! After I started reading though, I was unable to put this book down! I was hooked after the first sentence, and immediately thrown into Fable’s world. It is a story filled with ships, adventure, secrets, sunken treasure, romance, and so much more! There is definitely a Pirates of the Caribbean and Fool’s Gold vibe for me (minus the pirates), so if you are a fan of either of those movies you will love this book!
Overall, Adrienne did a phenomenal job not only with building the world but the characters themselves. None of the characters felt out of place or random, and the way you unravel all of their backgrounds felt natural and exciting. I truly felt like I was walking alongside Fable and West’s crew throughout their journey, and for me that is my favorite part about reading. When you are able to completely lose yourself and feel like you are embarking on the journey yourself. This book definitely ends on a cliff hanger, so be warned! 🙂
I will definitely be purchasing this series, and I can’t wait to read the next one!
Disclosure: I received a complimentary eARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes. I’d like to thank NetGalley and the publisher for providing me this opportunity!
This one was really a delight to discover and read. Fable was a character that held my interest and followed throughout this one. Heart goes out to her knowing what she witnessed. Being too this is the first one in this series. I don’t know about that father of her’s though. I truly like what this girl is made of though. We also meet West whom she needs his help. This one will truly capture you imagination going with the characters on this adventure. Oh the things that come out of the tale too that weave around us. Yet again though a woman who has to push herself and show herself among men.
Fable was born and raised on the sea. The daughter of a notorious trader father and a dredger mother—someone who dives for precious gems hidden beneath the water’s surface—Fable was stranded by her father the day after a storm sunk their ship and killed nearly everyone on board.
Now, four years later, Fable wants more than anything to get back to her father. To show him she’s a survivor, and to get what he promised her when he abandoned her. She enlists the help of the Marigold and its helmsman West to get her back to her father, but the journey through the Narrows will prove more difficult than she bargained for. Her father’s business enterprise has grown exponentially since she’s been away, and so has his list of enemies, and Fable begins to questions the secrets West and his crew are determined to keep close to the chest.
Adrienne Young has now done for the swashbuckling pirate story what she did for Vikings in her debut Sky in the Deep. She has a penchant for writing solitary characters who find themselves in precarious situations, often fighting for their lives, but injects so much heart and perseverance into the story that I cannot help but compulsively read.
Fable is another such heroine. I loved her characterization, all the characterizations really. This is a world where you look out for yourself and any and all connections, relationships, loyalties are dangerous because they show vulnerability to any and all that would expose such. Fable herself would use someone else’s vulnerability if it meant saving her life or the lives of the people she cares about, but you also know that she’s not unnecessarily cruel. It’s an interesting dynamic.
One that is especially highlighted in the interactions between Fable and Saint—her father whom she’s discouraged from claiming. Typically, I would find a father who abandons his young daughter to fend for herself or die trying rather abhorrent. But in Adrienne Young’s hands he becomes a man who has lived too long in his role and has lost so much along the way. Their relationship is so rocky, yet I cannot help but see glimpses of love that are overshadowed by fear of losing again. It’s something I hope we see develop more in the sequel.
Not to be outdone of course is the tentative alliance between West and his crew of the Marigold. I loved this small group of traders each with their own story who have grown into this quasi-family due to the fact that they rely upon each other to pull their weight and do their job on the ship. Fable kind of thrusts herself into their orbit by enlisting their help, and as much as she tries, she can’t keep herself from being curious about this crew. But in the Narrows it’s a curiosity that could cost someone their life. So proceed with caution.
I’m just going to say it: Fable ends on a pretty major cliffhanger. I was just thinking how it’s been awhile since a book has ended in such a way where I felt that gut punch, but I felt it here. Luckily, its sequel Namesake will be out in March with plenty of mysteries left to unravel. Not too long to wait. Right?
Gripping, immersive, and absolutely masterful, Fable reels you in with the promise of beauty, and holds you tight with Young’s signature grit. I couldn’t turn the pages quickly enough.
*4.5 Stars*
I haven’t read Fantasy in a long time but this book quickly reminded me that I need to read more of it. I enjoyed this story so much and I’m dying to get my hands on the second half of this duet! I can’t believe I have to wait until March to find out what happens!
I loved Fable, our main character, so dang much! She is strong, fierce, and it took me no time at all to root for her. The rest of the characters are just as great and just as likable as Fable. The friendships she makes were slowly made but it made them so believable and strong. I love romance in fantasy stories and there is definitely some swoony romance in this book. However, it by no means takes away from the main plot of the book and only adds a joyful layer to the story!
This was my first book by this author and I will definitely be going back and reading her previous work. I can’t believe I’ve waited so long to read her. Her writing style meshes perfectly with my reading style. I can’t wait to see what comes next!
Grateful to have received a complimentary ARC copy to honestly review.

Loved it
Fable is an epic tale rich in adventure. The author builds an encaptivating world were the sea is the backdrop for the cutthroat world of traders. Fable is the daughter of the most powerful of them all. Thrown to the wolves of Jeval, a blood thirsty world were dredgers (divers) go out to sea to salvage for any riches they can find and go back ashore to steal and maim for what they want. After four years, Fable finally has enough to secure passage on the Marigold but its no picnic as the crew is leery and don’t trust easily. When her family reunion does not go as planned, Fable sets off to find her own place to belong and maybe a little love in the face of danger. Fable worms her way into your heart with her interminable will and strength. The story moves quickly full of action for an addicting page turner of a story that leaves you jonesing for the next chapter. My voluntary, unbiased review is based upon a review copy from Netgalley.
This book was such a nice surprise!!
I love Pirates of the Caribbean but never once have I even picked up a book Pirate related at all.
I’m pretty glad that this was the first one!
This book was more than I expected it to be and I truly appreciate the way this world was written.
Fable is a teenager but she doesn’t act it. She is wise beyond her years, and she had to be to survive this world that her father tossed her in. He abandoned her on an island that requires you to be tough or you will pay for it with your life.
She is very knowledgeable about ship life and she keeps her opinions to herself but she sees things no one wants her to. She is highly observant but will speak up when she needs to, even when she probably shouldn’t, thinking it will help.
Her whole goal is to get back to her father, Saint, who is a well known and well feared man. She made a promise to him to never tell and she has kept it. She even lives by his rules and it has kept her going all these years.
I don’t want to say much more because it would be spoilers but I recommend this to anyone! Seeing this world through her eyes is refreshing and exciting and has me wanting/needing more!
I love seafaring stories so much. Books like this are few and far between, so I’m please Young created such a unique and wondrous tale.
This was well told and the writing was picturesque. The characters were beautifully flawed and felt so incredibly real.
And the romance…. *falls over swooning* the purest of pure.
I know I’ll be left sitting here shaking in anticipation for book 2. After an ending like that, waiting is going to be torturous.
I don’t know what it is about Adrienne Young’s writing, but she draws me in every. single. time.
Ever since Sky in the Deep, I’ve been hooked to her particular storytelling. She weaves her tales in such a way that leaves me tearing through the pages, and Fable was no different.
Between the unique storyline and intriguing characters, I couldn’t finish soon enough (or was it too soon?). Either way, I loved the heck out of this book, and I’m so glad there’s a sequel.
Specifically I’m looking forward to Namesake, but I’ll also take whatever Adrienne Young comes out with next.
***I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy generously provided by the publisher via NetGalley.***
Adrienne Young’s writing is superb! Not to mention her worldbuilding. She created a culture and meticulously fleshes out the character. This is shown as she gives everyone a back story. And no, it does not make the book drag. Rather, it gives life to the narrative. What is powerful about Young’s storytelling is that she shows how everyone carries their own blindspots and motives, things that must be hidden deeply because they are the strongest weapon against you. In each page, layers are peeled and in it the art and heart of a gifted wordsmith.
Fable lost her innocence the moment she was abandoned by her father on an island where you don’t make friends, only enemies. In a world where there is no grace, only exchange of favors, Fable has to be astute and attentive. When troubles arise, she ends up as an unwelcome passenger of the Marigold. There she meets a group of waterside strays who might just be as canny as her because of their desperation to survive. She is not seeking to reach out to be a part of them, but sometimes camaraderie sneaks up on you and you have to decide if you will become each other’s greatest fear or partner to survive the Narrows.
And then that ending came with the worst cliff-hanger and now I’m left wondering how can I get my hands on the sequel 😉
*I received a review copy from the publisher. All opinions are my own
If you’re reading this review right now, I will waste no time and just tell you directly: READ THIS BOOK.
I haven’t read any books from Adrienne Young before this but when I saw the cover, I just couldn’t resist it. I mean, look at how pretty and tempting it is. But while some books are only beautiful on the outside, this book will not make you regret you ever picked it up.
Initially, I had a hard time reading this. It was difficult to imagine some scenes in my head because I wasn’t familiar with the technical terms about ships and navigation. I am a visual reader and when I read, a movie plays in my head. I need to understand the details so that I know what to imagine. If you’re like me and decide to read this, it really helps if you google the terms to see what they look like. But rest assured that you will eventually get the hang of it.
Aside from the minor “technical” difficulty I had, Fable was an easy read and I would have finished it in one sitting if I could. I really loved Adrienne’s writing style and it felt like I was there. I could almost feel the wind and taste the salt of the sea. And while I’m no expert when it comes to ships, reading Fable made me think that Adrienne knows what she’s talking about. It makes me wonder if she ever helmed a ship at one point in her life or she’s just a very convincing writer.

4.5 stars
Every now and then, I like to venture into the world of fantasy. Often times I am overwhelmed with fantasy books; too much world building, too many characters, a new language to learn, etc. But Fable hit the sweet spot for me.
Fable was abandoned on an island by her father just one day after her mother drowns during a shipwreck. Her father tells her if she finds her way back, he’ll give her what she is owed. Oh gee, thanks dad!
The next four years Fable learns to keep secrets, hide everything away, and does her best to earn enough coin to purchase passage on a ship back. She’s barely surviving and nearly loses her life in trying to escape the island, but somehow she convinces West and his small crew to take her on.
From there it’s kind of a coming of age story: Fable learning what friendship and family is like, finding her place in the world. I loved meeting the other members of the Marigold crew and seeing them all start to develop relationships with Fable…especially the protective West. I loved West as a character and I was so excited to hear him open up and give us a little more insight to his emotions and past.
Ends on a major cliffhanger but honestly, that just entices me more.
Fable is a beautifully written story about one young woman’s search for self and family in a ruthlessly unforgiving world of piracy. It examines relationships and the cost of loving in a society that preys on weakness.
Fable, abandoned by her father after the tragic death of her mother (WHY?!?), lives on a cutthroat island of thieves and criminals. She scrapes to get by, dredging jewels from the bottom of the ocean and determined to save her money to buy passage off of the island and back to her father.
Fable’s plan is pushed forward when her life is in imminent danger, and she begs one of the traders for help. West, the stoic, young captain of The Marigold, reluctantly grants her passage, and her journey begins. But Fable quickly learns that things, and people, aren’t always what they seem, and she must decide what she is really searching for. An epic tale of loss, love, and life on the high seas, Fable is one of my favorite reads of the year!
Oh my word, the characters! Young has skillfully crafted dynamic, fascinating, and likeable characters with rich back-stories. Fable is a fantastic protagonist, and I loved her journey, both physical and emotional. Though her life hasn’t been easy, Fable never gives up. She lives in a ruthless world made even more dangerous because of her gender and her gift, and she deals with insurmountable obstacles. However, Fable shows courage and hope during the course of her odyssey, and even when the odds are against her, she searches for the connection that she lost when her mother died.
“No matter where I went, I’d never get home. Because home was a ship that was at the bottom of the sea, where my mother’s bones lay sleeping in the deep.”
Fable is observant and savvy, and she reads people well. Take the crew of The Marigold, for example. Oh, the crew! I adore this rag-tag group of friends! West, Paj, and the others fit so seamlessly together, and Fable admires their strong bond. It is with her new crew-mates that Fable feels the first hint of family since her mother died, and she works hard to prove her worth to them.
At face value, West and his crew seem like the stereotypical pirate scoundrels, willing to put aside their morals for reasons unknown to Fable. But they are much more than the hard, unfeeling ruffians they present themselves to be. They are a family, and once Fable earns their respect, they show her what it feels like to belong. It is in their actions and Fable’s observations that we see their resilient, loyal, dependable, and loving characters as well as their camaraderie.
Of course, I have to talk about the romance. Slow-building and lovely, the main love story is not the focus of the novel, but it is a wonderful addition. Though it goes against all of Fable’s rules, it is obvious from early in the story that she has feelings for the mysterious captain West. He purposely pushes her away and refuses to let her get close, as he lives by the same rules as Fable:
“Keep your knife where you can reach it. Never, ever owe anyone anything. Nothing is free. Always construct a lie from a truth. Never, under any circumstances, reveal what or who matters to you.”
They both know that revealing their feelings for each other could be used against them, so they fight their feelings. This makes for some fabulous tension between the two. Plus, Fable and West are both strong and stubborn, and they butt heads a bit. I love the slow build-up of this relationship and cheered for this couple to reveal their feeling for each other. One of my favorite scenes in the novel is when Fable dives with West. They experience the joy of sea-life together before finding what they dove for, and it is vivid and sweet and completely swoon-worthy.
There are strong messages about the immense power of love woven throughout the story, not just with Fable and West, but with another couple in the crew, and with the relationship between Fable’s parents. One of the only admirable qualities of Saint is his all-consuming love for Fable’s mother Isolde. Fable describes Saint as a man, “who loved my mother with the fury of a thousand merciless storms,” and her mother as a woman who, “had loved Saint with a fire that could set fire to the sea.” Saint and Isolde shared a beautiful and passionate bond, one that Fable speaks of reverently.
In addition to the dynamic characters, the world-building is one of the highlights of the novel. I know next to nothing about boats, diving, or sailing, and I easily understood and visualized this fascinating world. Young describes the ruthless and power-driven society of traders and pirates. The skewed social system, the political treachery, and the complicated history of this unique world are all vividly described without taking over the story. I think this says a lot about Adrienne Young’s skill as a writer. Her use of imagery and sensory language, as well as her all-around fantastic writing style, made me as immersed in the story as Fable is in her surroundings when she dives down to the bottom of the sea. I felt like I was on The Marigold with Fable and the crew, the sun on my face, the salty sea air thick with the promise of a swashbuckling adventure.
Fable is a cutthroat adventure on sea and land where danger lurks everywhere and trusting anyone could kill. The poignancy of the names (Saint, Fable, Isolde), the themes of love, family, and finding oneself, the writing, the character development, the imagery – it’s all fantastic! This is a wonderfully layered novel, and I love that Fable’s story made me feel all of the feels. And that ending!!! I can’t even!!! It is an excellent cliffhanger ending for an excellent story.
Thanks so much to Netgalley and Wednesday Books for a copy of the book in exchange for my honest review.
“Keep your knife where you can reach it.
Never, ever owe anyone anything.
Nothing is free.
Always construct a lie from a truth.
Never, under any circumstances, reveal what or who matters to you.”
Though I know Adrienne Young already had some big titles to her name such as ‘The Girl the Sea Gave Back’ and ‘Sky in the Deep,’ I hadn’t actually read any of her work. I’d been intrigued by both of those releases and simply not had the time to explore them, but when ‘Fable’ started showing up everywhere, I was determined not to let another one pass me by.
Admittedly, I was afraid as much as people were hyping the novel, that it wouldn’t live up to the praise. But I needn’t have worried.
Fable, our main character, is the daughter of the most powerful trader in a dangerous place called the Narrows. At seventeen, she’s already lost her mother to the sea and the storms.. and been left on a cutthroat island of thieves with one goal. To survive. With nothing to hold onto other than the swift abandonment of her father after her mother’s drowning and his promise to give her what is hers if she can live and find her way home on her own, she has spent four years barely getting by.
“Miles away, where the moonlight touched the black seam of the horizon, the Lark lay beneath the waters of Tempest Snare. And no matter where I went, I’d never get home. Because home was a ship that was at the bottom of the sea, where my mother’s bones lay sleeping in the deep.”
An incredibly likeable character, Fable is a fighter. She fights for everything. She fights to eat, she fights to live, she fights to succeed in reuniting with her father. She fights for those who show her kindness. She’s not afraid to take risks in order to achieve her goals, but she’s not completely stupid either. For the most part, those risks are calculated.
In a moment when it seems she has no other option, she barters her way onto a ship called The Marigold that’s helmed by a handsome, mysterious man named West and even his decision to sell her passage is met with resistence. Along the way, not only does she discover her father’s rivalries have multiplied exponentially.. she also discover’s West’s trading vessel isn’t as uncomplicated as it seems. She keeps her secrets close to her, but she’s not the only one hiding things. It seems everyone has something they’re holding back.. and West most of all.
The setting is beautiful. I loved losing myself to their adventure across the sea.. to their emotional journeys.. though they weren’t as robust as I would have liked them to be. I loved the slow reveal of the inner-West and the desperate dash for Ceros. There are some truly harrowing moments as they try to push through their trip hastily.
“I didn’t like how calm it looked, the way the surface gleamed like newly fired glass. It was unnerving to see the sea asleep when I’d seen how bloodthirsty she could be.”
Here’s what I think could have been better. Though the writing is touted as lyrical and it IS lovely, for me it’s just shy of that description. Yes, the author has moments that fit the bill, but largely the prose is just slightly prettier than average. It feels like it could hold more depth.. of thought and emotion.. more resonance. I do see potential for her to continue to grow and evolve as an author and that thought excites me.. considering how good she already is, but she’s a great storyteller and the scenes are very visual, even if they still have room to expand.
My only complaint is a small, unimportant thing. The trust and relationships that build between the characters in this story.. at the point where we join them.. simply comes a little too easily. As jaded as they all are.. as dark as some of their backstories are, I find it difficult to believe they’d accept so quickly in most cases, despite the lengths Fable might go to in order to win that trust. But.. that’s where suspension of disbelief comes in and ultimately it didn’t matter to me because I was already invested in the outcome.
I do adore West and Auster.. Paj and Willa are lovely too.. even Hamish. I don’t want to tell you too much about my reasons, as I don’t want to ruin the discovery for you. But I will say it’s a solid group of supporting characters, each with their own stories and traumas.. their own worries to bear. I enjoyed the inner conflict in West.. and he is rife with it. If ever there was a character more prone to doing what he knew he shouldn’t because it might help someone else, I am unable to think of them at the moment.
Theirs is absolutely an underdog story.. and I am lost when you give me someone to root for..
I can’t wait for ‘Namesake,’ book two in the series.. and not simply because of the mild cliffhanger at the end of this one. Though I must applaud Young for placing it so well, not in the midst of action.. but rather in a moment that made sense and didn’t infuriate me.. while still leaving me eager to see what would happen.

(I received this title as an ARC. All opinions are mine and freely given.)
The unique story drew me in. The more Fable was around the crew and we got to know them the more I liked them. With so many against Fable it was hard to pick out the big bad. Romance is on the back burner for this one. It is there but faintly. Fable was a strong character. Story was steady paced for the majority of the book. It does end on a cliffhanger.
This book was amazing!! I’m usually not a huge YA fan, but this sea-world fantasy just blew me away…I was hooked immediately, and 350+pages flew by.
Fable is a 17 yo gem mage who, after she lost her mother in a shipwreck at 14, was left on an island of cutthroat dredgers (salvage divers) by her trader father to fend for herself. She barely survives for 4 years until she bargains for a voyage to her father’s home on West’s (a trader who has been purchasing her salvaged pyre) ship The Marigold. West’s misfit crew takes her in after she proves herself and thus begins their adventures (including meeting up with her seemingly uncaring father, a truly evil villain and exploring Fable’s gem mage abilities inherited from her mother).
The world-building was spot-on, and the cast very well thought-out. This is the first of a duo, and I’m highly anticipating part two. Recommended wholeheartedly.
Thank you to #NetGalley, #StMartinsPress and #WednesdayBooks for providing me the ARC. The opinions are strictly my own.
This book is AMAZING. It’s one of those I didn’t know I needed to read it, but once I started, I literally couldn’t stop.
The world we find Fable in is unkind and more of a “man’s world”. At 13, her father abandons her on Jeval Island, alone, fending for herself. Fable’s sheer grit and raw determination keeps her safe until she can make it back to her father and demand a spot amongst his fleet. We find her, 4 years later, trying to understand it all and looking for a way off Jeval.
But as I said, the world is unkind. The only one willing to take her on is West.
What a great tale of finding one’s way and learning who to trust in an untrustworthy world. The ending will leave you hankering for more. I can’t wait to read the follow-up, Namesake. You definitely should one-click/purchase this book, you will not be disappointed.
I have always wanted to travel the High Seas, to live life as a pirate and explore more of the island worlds; and in this story I got to live out my dream. This is a wonderful tale of survival, friendship, love, trust and adventure. The characters are memorable and Fable is a strong female lead that will leave the reader cheering her one at every turn.
The opening of the story introduces the reader to Fable, her current situation, the world in which she is living and surviving in, and it all comes to life in beautiful detail and breathtaking scenes. I immediately found myself attached to Fable and wanting not only to be her friend but to help her along the way. West and other characters that she meets along the way are interesting and unique. I love learning about the secrets in this mysterious world; secrets after all, keep you safe. There is a tiny bit of romance in this story (and I am sure more in book two) but this story really is about Fable and her coming of age on the high seas. Fable learning life ad people are not always what they seem. The author takes the time to really develop these characters and this world to the point where I was lost inside the pages. I couldn’t get enough of any aspect.
There is action, mystery, secrets, humor, heart stopping moments and so much more. Get ready for the ride of your life and grab this story now! This is book one in a duet so be aware that you will become addicted and need the next book soon, LOL. I highly recommend this story to all readers looking for the ultimate adventure. I was blessed to receive an ARC via NetGalley, Wednesday Books and St. Martin’s Press and this is my honest review. This is an instant one click author and a “don’t want to miss” story!
I received an ARC copy from the publisher and Netgalley for an honest review.
Fable is a young woman trying to survive on a cut throat island. She made a promise to the man who left her on the beach and she plans to keep it. In the four years since, she has learned to survive, how to hunt her own dinner, dredging for pyre to trade for coin, and how to watch her back. So close to earning what she needs to pay for her trip across the sea to Ceros and Saint, the man who left her behind. Fable finds herself aboard the Marigold with a ragtag crew who don’t know what to make of her. Fable earns their trust, becoming a part of their family, but not everything is as it seems. Fable has her own demons but now she finds herself in the center of the Marigold’s demons as well.
The first installment of Adrienne Young’s, Fable, was a exciting. Young has created a storyline I have not seen before. Fable is a character with depth. Due to her life struggles she has learned to be strong but underneath that tough exterior she just wants to be a part of something bigger. The crew of the Marigold share a similar back story. They all came from nothing but have banded together to form a tight knit family. I am excited to see where this series will go and can’t wait for the next installment.
