After that cliffhanger from the first book FABLE, I couldn't wait to read the sequel. I savored the first book, but I devoured this one. And yes, it was even better (if that's possible) than the first book. Such a fun story!
NAMESAKE begins right where FABLE leaves off - with Fable being kidnapped by Zola in search of a rare gem. As they sail into the Unnamed Sea, Fable's history and family secrets unfold and make me love the characters even more.
I swear I could smell the salt air as I was reading about Fable & West on the Marigold. The characters, the imagery, the mystery, and the romance - I was hooked from the first page all the way to the last. I wasn't sure how AY was going to reconcile Fable's complicated relationship with her father, Saint, but it couldn't have ended any better (except not to end at all).

Namesake was an excellent follow up to Fable. The book was full of more piratey ventures, close calls, and new villains.
I loved the intrigue created as the story went on. And just when one mystery is revealed another shows up.
I did feel the ending was a bit anticlimactic in terms of how the main plot was resolved, but the character interactions and resolutions we got made up for it.
Overall I’m very happy with where this book went and how Fable’s adventure came to an end. It was an excellent read and I definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys pirates, ocean adventures and fantasy.
