In Fable by Adrienne Young, Fable is a 17-year-old girl who was left by father on Jeval, an island full of thieves. Fable spent four years surviving and saved money for passage off of Jeval to work for her father as he promised her a job. She manages to escape on a ship called the Marigold, which is run by captain West and his shipmates. They all venture across The Narrows and face many challenges along the way.
I really enjoyed reading this book. It is quite fast paced so this is a great book for anyone in a bit of a reading slump. Young does a nice job of describing the Marigold and includes technical terms related to managing a ship in detail. I also love the development in character relationships as the Marigold crew goes from despising Fable to eventually accepting her as part of their family. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys reading fantasy. I give this book a five out of five stars.
