At times, I felt as if I was somehow in the story alongside Fable. The writing and the world building were stunning. I loved that there were queer characters. I loved getting to know West and Willa, Paj and Auster. We got to see them work together as a unit, a family, and I loved it. I am beyond excited to see what the crew will do in the next book. I loved their secrets, their hopes and dreams.

I absolutely adored the whole crew of the Magnolia. She finds herself a new family in West and his crew. And when he didn’t respond in the way she wanted she made a new plan. She said and did whatever it took to come back to face her father. She kicked and screamed and clawed her way off the island. I’m going to stop there with the plot details. As this is a novel, things don’t exactly as planned when Fable finally comes face to face with her father again. Once she’s finally saved enough money, she begs passage from West, the man she trades gems she finds while diving. He left her to fend for herself and told her she wasn’t meant for his world.

The father that left her on said island four years ago. She’s working on saving enough money to travel and face her father. But I’m going to do my best.įable lives on an island that is a very dangerous place. I don’t know that I’ll explain exactly how much I loved it or why. I received Fable from NetGalley and the publishers and I’m so glad because I loved it. Fable takes you on a spectacular journey filled with romance, intrigue, and adventure. Where a young girl must find her place and her family while trying to survive in a world built for men. Welcome to a world made dangerous by the sea and by those who wish to profit from it.

The only thing that keeps her going is the goal of getting off the island, finding her father, and demanding her rightful place beside him and his crew. To survive she must keep to herself, learn to trust no one, and rely on the unique skills her mother taught her. The next day her father abandoned her on a legendary island filled with thieves and little food. It’s been four years since the night she watched her mother drown during an unforgiving storm.
