I will not be giving feedback on this book as I couldn’t really get into it but I think others may enjoy it.

This series has one of the best covers I've ever seen, the books are so beautiful that I ended up purchasing the set for my library!

I'm going to make this one short and sweet because I read this awhile ago when I was struggling through a readers slump (yay for that being over) and took a hiatus from reviews. To do this book any justice one must start with our heroine Fable. If you love a tough, but easy to adore main character this book is a must read. She was everything I didn't know I needed. While some parts are a bit slow, the cliffhanger at the end had me impatiently awaiting book two. Now that both books are published, I highly recommend grabbing them both so you can binge read them and all of their piratey glory.

Obviously Fable by Adrienne Young has a stunning cover. If judging books by their cover, I do not see how anyone would not be pulled in by this one. Thankfully, the story absolutely lives up to that beautiful cover with a fierce main character. It is easy to see why this was a Reese's Book Club YA Pick.

What a great book-I loved the story and the grand adventure it took me on. The twist and turn in the book kept me on my toes.

I had to DNF this book. I attempted to read it, in multiple formats (book and audiobook) and it just was not grabbing me at all. I don't know if it's the writing, or the pacing (which I have heard called fast paced but felt extremely slow to me), but I was just not able to care at all about what was going on with the main character of this book. I give 3 stars because I have friends that have just raved about this book.I had to DNF this book.

I honestly think this book was over hyped. I heard so many great things going into it that my expectations were quite high. On that note, the characters and world building were dull and flat and I couldn't drag it out. It was too slow for me, but I could see the potential it has for other readers. I just couldn't get into it and it wasn't a for for me.

Thank you to St.Martin's Press and Wednesday Books for a gifted copy of ARC of Fable exchange for an honest review. Unfortunately I could not get into this book and could not finish it. I am not usually a fan of YA, but was totally influenced by the cover and reviews from friends to give it a try. So I think it was just a lack of interest for me, and not the story itself.

This was such a fun pirate story, so much so, that it made me want more pirate stories! I loved Fable’s background, and the facts that we discover as the story progresses. The cast of characters are fun, with some subtle diversity lgbtq rep. Really looking forward to the sequel!

It took me way too long to finally read this book. If you are like me I suggest you read it immediately. It’s the first book in a duology. This is a great mix of fantasy romance and adventure.

I loved the world that Adrienne created - so wonderfully fleshed out and perfectly visualized. I loved the little bits of imagery she wove in and out along with the sprinkling of magic.

The story follows Fable, a girl who was abandoned by her father on the merciless island of Jevali. There she must dive for gemstones in order to make coin and eventually a way back to her father, to claim what is hers. Sounds easy, right? Not when the island is home to dangerous dredgers who will take everything from you. After a harrowing escape, Fable sets off to find her father and prove that she is stronger then anyone believes. She must learn how to survive in the world and find out who to trust on this non-stop adventure that will make you want to become a pirate!

This book was a fast read only because I was unable to put it down! Being able to watch Fable grow and become stronger right in front of our eyes was captivating. Adrienne Young was able to pull us into the book and on board the Marigold with such ease. If you like adventure, pirates and a girl fighting with every essence of her being, then go pick up Fable right now!

With all the hype surrounding Fable, I was hesitant of reading the book for fear of disappointment, but I should not have worried. I recently picked up the book on a whim, and I ended up flying through both it and its sequel. The duology was the perfect escapist read. Fable, West, and the rest of The Marigold crew may be complex characters with ambiguous morals, but they are extremely likable. I easily found myself rooting for The Marigold’s crew as they fought to find their place in The Narrows. My only regret is not reading the duology sooner.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Wednesday Books for the e-ARC. All opinions are my own.

Fable is such a fun YA about adventure, pirates, family, and friendship.

Fable has been abandoned on this super cutthroat island and has been fending for herself for like 3 years to try and get off this island. Once she gets passage (with a broody mysterious man) it is a whirlwind of adventure to try and find her father as well as get away from some pretty bad dudes.

There was a bit too much ship talk for me but the relationships between Fable and each crew member were super intriguing and I loved seeing her beginning to trust people after being by herself for so long.

Super keen to pick up the sequel and see how the romance blooms and the secrets unravel.

Thank you Netgalley for a copy in exchange for an honest review.

I posted my review last year and didn't update here. I loved this book. The writing, the characters, the plot. Everything worked so well together to keep me held within the story. I have read both books as of right now and was one of my favorite books read last year.

I started this book and just could not get into it, I read until about 18% before I gave up. It just wasn’t holding my attention. It could just be the wrong timing. I plan to give it a try at another time

Fable is an action-packed YA fantasy, and I believe the first pirate story I've read. I liked the setting of the story quite a bit. From the island where we first meet Fable to the ships to the city, it had a magical feel to it.

While I did enjoy the book setting, the characters themselves didn't meet expectations. They were simply okay, but none of them stood out to me as special or unique, and I didn't fall in love with them.

Overall, this was a nice quick read.

It was refreshing to read an adventurous take that was more piratey and less on the magic side of things. Add to that the main character is a spunky young woman who basically does dives on reefs!! I loved this tale & the larger story that slowly got revealed by the end.

Adrienne Young is an author I’ve wanted to read something by for quite some time. Fable is my first book and I really enjoyed this adventure. It’s quite magical with an interesting cast of characters. I’ll be reading the sequel very soon!

Such a great book! Took this on vacation with me and read it within 24 hrs. A unique world with exciting characters. The dredging for gems was a unique story idea that I found fascinating! I instantly picked up and read book 2. Overall a great sea adventure with a strong main character and a great romance.

Fable is a sprawling red following the main character named Fable. She has always known and been a part of the sea The sea that her father's business thrives in. The same sea that took her mother. Following Fable's story was an immersive read that left me wanting more.
