Zola’s schemes aren’t clear to Fable, but when the ship lands at Jeval and he begins recruiting dredgers, including our ole pal Koy (whom you’ll recall tried to kill our heroine in the previous book), she starts to see that his plan is much bigger than she imagined-and that she’s at the center of it all. Oh yeah, and Clove, Saint’s former navigator, isn’t dead and is in fact working on the Luna! Cool cool cool. I think we all remember the cliffhanger from Fable since it was so goddamn egregious but in case you weren’t as incensed as I was, Namesake picks up right where its predecessor left off: Fable is being held captive on Zola’s ship (the Luna) after she decided to just, you know, sneak into town to get West’s mom’s ring like what could possibly go wrong?! And right before she was kidnapped, she ran into Saint (her dad), who tells her that West isn’t who she thinks he is. Our girl is moving up in the world (but she’ll always look like Bryce Dallas Howard to me). I particularly like the details in the artwork that show how her life has changed since the first book: the gorgeous earrings, the make-up. If you put the cover of Fable next to this cover, you get Fable’s whole face! Nice one, designers. Warning, there be spoilers ahead! If you haven’t read Fable, turn back now or you’ll ruin a great read for yourself. Relationship Status: The Wind In My Sails
