Although she’s not entirely sure what their motives are, with her steely determination and sharp wit, she courageously plays their game and does what she needs to do to get back to the Marigold. The story picks up right where we left off at the cliffhanger of the first book and Fable finds herself in the unenviable position of being surrounded by enemies. This was a much more plot-driven story compared to the first book, so sadly I found the world-building and character development lacking, although the fast-paced action (especially in the latter half) didn’t leave much time to dwell on it! This was a really great conclusion to the duology and it was so much more of an intense high-seas adventure with the cast of characters coming together beautifully and many delightful twists and turns in the unfolding of Fable’s story. If you loved the piratey goodness of Fable then you’re sure to love Namesake just as much, if not more. If you love stories full of action, a strong female lead, a cast of morally grey characters that you also can’t help but root for (mostly), and a setting in which the sea comes to life off the pages, I would highly recommend checking out these books! Also, major cover appreciation to this set of covers because they’re STUNNING! TL DR: Overall, a very satisfying and neatly wrapped up conclusion to this duology.
