Fable by Adrienne Young | A Book Review

I took so long to read this book or should I say listen to this book. I was waiting for the perfect time but to be honest there is no such thing as the perfect time. One day last week I just pressed the play button and started listening to this Book. Once I started I could not stop. This is the first book in The World of Narrow Series written by Adrienne Young. This series is a duology focusing on Story of Fable, a young girl trying to escape a ruthless island and going back to her father who left her 4 years ago. This is the book is about: "Welcome to a world made dangerous by the sea and by those who wish to profit from it. Where a young girl must find her place and her family while trying to survive in a world built for men."

MY REVIEW

So I should start from the point when i saw the cover of the book. I fell in love instantly. I do not particularly like people on the book covers but look at the cover man......she is so beautiful....gorgeous 🤌. This was love at first sight though.

I did not know the story, I did not looked at Goodreads description I added it my TBR and as soon as I had access to audiobook so i just started listening to it. The book gave major vibes of Six of Crows. That is why I liked it more. It was same camaraderie, friendships, a crew, a debt to pay, a heist(sort of), search for treasure in the long lost ship wreck, and a cutthroat world where you gotta fight to survive.

For those of you who want context....it's a story about Fable who lost both of her parents 4 years ago. A storm came and her mother died in a shipwreck and her father was lost to a broken heart of loosing his wife. He leave Fable on an island and promise her if she survives he will give her what is hers.

Now after 4 years Fable is on the path to return to her Father. She barter a passage on Marigold and throughout the book she form bonds and friendships. She meets her father and get disappointed then go on more adventures while making hell of lot of enemies.

On the whole....the book was a great read. I will give it 4 stars.. I recommend it ofcourse.

THE BEST PART
☙ Fable and her Father
☙ How Fable explained the relationship Saint and Isolde had...it was effing beautiful....intriguing me to read the Saint book (which I found out just now).
☙ Fable making bonds with the crew of Marigold

THE WORST PART:
☙ No Worst part.

Best Character
☙ Fable
☙ Willa
☙ Saint and Zola ( i hope this is the right spelling. excuse me I listened to teh audiobook)

WORST CHARACTER
☙ No one

Best Quotes

“Isolde was the wind and sea and sky of Saint's world. She was the pattern of stars that he navigated by, the sum of all directions on his compass. And he was lost without her.”

“Home was a ship that was at the bottom of the sea, where my mother's bones lay sleeping.”
“you weren't made for this world, Fable.”
“What I want is not to die alone," she said, her voice suddenly small. "I didn't really choose this life. It's just the only one I have...”
“We both know that surviving means sometimes doing things that haunt you.”
“That was one of Saint's rules.
Nothing is free.
He wasn't just talking about food or passage or the clothes on your back. He was talking about respect. Safety. Protection. They were things no one owed.
And one way or another, you always paid"
“My mother had loved Saint with a love that could set fire to the sea”

Happy Reading!!

The Awakening | Zodiac Academy Series written by Caroline Peckham and Suzanne Valenti | A Book Review

Alright, here I am, sharing my thoughts on the first book The Awakening from Zodiac Academy series written by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti . I decided to start reviewing this series as it falls under the 'enemies to lovers ' and 'bullies romance' genres, which are right up my alley. I'm a sucker for this type of book and I am always on the hunt for such books. Someone made a video of this book on TikTok and I was like I had to read it. So, I began reading the book and I fell into a rabbit hole of Magic Academy, hot assholes, and alternative Fae world. It felt like diving into a more mature version of Harry Potter. Needless to say, I absolutely loved this first installment.

Lightlark by Alex Aster | A Book Review

A Fellow booktoker recommended me this book. She talks about it all the time and makes really catchy videos featuring this Duology. I got interested and purchased this book. Lightlark is the first book in the series written by Alex Aster. I got to know some pretty interesting facts about the Author and how this book was published. You should learn it too this is not my story to tell 😅. Anyhow I started reading this book in March and finished it one week. Somehow I got late in writing and reviewed all the books I read in March. So now I am starting again. This is the brief of this book on Goodreads; Welcome to the Centennial. Every 100 years, the island of Lightlark appears to host the Centennial, a deadly game that only the rulers of six realms are invited to play. The invitation is a summons—a call to embrace victory and ruin, baubles and blood.

Where is Molly by H.D Carlton | A Review

Where is Molly is a stand alone book written by H.D Carlton. It is set in the Universe of Haunting Adeline. The story revolves around Molly...the girl we found in Hunting Adeline. Her diary was founded by Adeline under the floor and us readers always wanted to know if she succeeded in running away from that awful place. Blurb A spinoff of the Cat & Mouse Duet... “Molly Devereaux has been missing for more than two weeks, and police are still searching for the girl who seemed to vanish out of thin air. The world still wants to know... Where's Molly?” In my dreams, I never escaped the Oregon woods. Life after death isn't easy to accept, especially when I still feel like a ghost. Now, I live deep in the mountains of Montana—the paradigm of beauty. But they are also the home of horrors. Horrors that I only unleash at night. When my pigs are allowed to feast. It is strongly recommended to read Haunting Adeline and Hunting Adeline before reading Where's Molly. Important No...
