The World of the Narrow Seas

-

 


I read this book as a 12 recommendations from 12 friends challenge. It is a YA book set in a fictional land and sea called the Narrows. It is about a young woman named Fable. I followed Fable as she went on dangerous missions on the wild sea, filled with pirates, greedy merchants and rogue trader ships. Fable had a secret that she had to protect, but her vivid red hair and her face marked her as the daughter of Isolde the gem sage. It's only through quick thinking, gold and gems exchanging hands in the dark alleyways, that she is able to come up top. 

I enjoyed these two books that I read the novellas and companion books. It is definitely worth a read if you want to embark on a seaworthy ship. 

Tropes if you are interested:

Survival Against all Odds
Morally Grey Characters
Brooding, Loyal Love Interest
Absent/Strained Father-Daughter Dynamic
High Stakes
Uncovering Family Secrets
Pawn to Player
Found Family

It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.     Books Set in Another Time ( These can be historical, futuristic, alternate universes, or even in a world where you’re not sure when it takes place you just know it’s not right now. ) I found this one a bit difficult and really had to look on my shelves, because I do not read much other than contempory books, Well other than Tudor History and I didn't want to bog you down with 10 books on them. I could have. Several times over LOL. Anyway, I did manage to squeak out 10.... DRACULA BY BRAM STOKER Best Vampire book ever....
