Description

I’d made more coin off the traders on the Marigold in the last three months with this stash than I had in the last two years altogether. Another few weeks and I’d never have to dive these reefs again. Adrienne’s best ideas come to her while she is driving. The idea for her first novel, “Sky in the Deep” came while she was driving during a rain storm while she drove on a country road and Laurel’s “Into the Hills” was playing. Adrienne pulled the car over to the road, scribbled some notes on a torn envelope, and drove home. She called up her critique partner, and that was all it took.

Adrienne Young About – Adrienne Young

Those may seem harsh lessons from a parent. But those are the things that have kept Fable alive for the last four years. She’s learned to make her way as a dredger: a diver who digs semi-valuable stones and abalone from the reef and exchanges them for a few coppers. And she’s learned to hide away what little treasure she may gain in the hope of someday putting this island of torment behind her. Besides those last fateful words, Saint had also given Fable, however, five rules to live by: rules she had been reciting from the time she was big enough to climb into the masts with her mother.

Recenzie, kritiky

Originálny svet, silná tínedžerská hlavná hrdinka, tajomný mladý hrdina, ostrov, odkiaľ sa chce Fable čím skôr dostať preč. Zaujímavé,nie? Každý deň sa Fable potápa a hľadá drahokamy na morskom dne. Musí ich však ukrývať, pretože zlodeji sa neštítia pre pár "šutrov" aj zabiť,preto sa stáva, že Fable bdie aj niekoľko nocí po sebe… There’s use of the word “b–tard,” but nothing else that might be considered typically “sailor worthy.”

West’s crew consists of Willa (who we later find out is West’s sister), Hamish, Paj, and Auster. At first, no one trusts her, but she pulls her weight onboard the ship, and they slowly begin to trust her more.Someone with a bit of wisdom might have told Fable to forget her father. Forget his words and his offers. Forget everything of the past and find a way to survive now, a simple life to live. Because you weren’t made for this world, Fable,” he repeated and stepped into a small skiff to sail away. “You make me a promise and I’ll give you one. Survive. Get yourself off this island And the next time I see you, I’ll give you what is yours.” Saint is one of the most powerful traders in the Narrows. And as such, the sea was the only life that young Fable ever knew. But that all changed the day after her mother’s death. Saint promptly took Fable to a small island filled with thieves and cutthroats and abandoned her there. Fable runs into Zola in a tavern, and he tries to talk her into joining his crew. She refuses, and he hints that West won’t be sailing much longer. Pasáže medzi Fable a posádkou hlavného hrdinu boli fajn, no po celej knihe mám dojem, že to nebolo úplne detailne prepracované a z príbehu si odnášam jedine spomienku na predstavy o mori a potápaní spoločne s koncom. Samotný záver bol výborný a primäl ma pustiť sa do nasledujúcej časti, ktorá sa mi číta o dosť pomalšie ako prvá kniha. No o nej zas nabudúce.

The humor left his eyes when they found mine again, and I clenched my teeth, trying not to let the twitch at the corner of my mouth show. It had been four years since the day I was dumped on the blazing hot beach and left to fend for myself. Forced to scrape hulls in exchange for rotten fish when I was starving, and beaten for diving in another dredger’s claimed territory again and again. I’d seen my fair share of violence on Jeval, but I’d managed to keep out of Koy’s way until now. Catching his notice was a very dangerous place to be. She loves food, as well as history, has a shameless coffee addiction, and loves to travel. Adrienne finds that she is obsessed with the past, and that obsession has found its way into her work and influenced it. During the time she is not writing, she will be at antique fairs (to find old books), sipping wine during long dinners, on her yoga mat, or at art museums that she likes the most. She is someone that enjoys learning, as well, and will buy any book about art history she can find. She is enraptured by our connection with that which is around us and each other as well as the human spirit. Nice jump, Fable.” Koy took hold of the tiller, his gaze on the horizon as he steered us toward the south reef. “Didn’t know you were coming.” A dark maritime fantasy...immersive...and rich in sensory details. For readers who can’t get enough of strong female protagonists..." - Kirkus She was born and raised in the state of Texas and became a California girl. She lives with her four kids and her husband (who makes documentary films, and together, they all take in the rays of the California sun).Why?” Young Fable croaked when her father put a firm hand on her shoulder and said that she was staying behind, alone, on that horrible little island. But her father’s rivalries and the dangers of his trading enterprise have only multiplied since she last saw him and Fable soon finds that West isn't who he seems. Together, they will have to survive more than the treacherous storms that haunt the Narrows if they're going to stay alive. Myslím si, že celý príbeh by som si užila omnoho viac, ak by som bola mladšia, kvôli atmosfére a charakterom. Fable som si predstavovala kúsok inak, aj keď netvrdím, že sa mi niektoré pasáže nepáčili a nedocenila som ich. Avšak autorke musím vytknúť pomenej priamej reči a opisy, v ktorých čírou náhodou akurát pripomenula nejakú vlastnosť respektíve schopnosť hlavnej hrdinky, ktoré mohli byť pokojne spomenuté na začiatku. Taktiež na tento zoznam musím pridať aj vzťah medzi Fable a Westom, ktorý bol zvláštne unáhlený a nenadchol ma. As the daughter of the most powerful trader in the Narrows, the sea is the only home seventeen-year-old Fable has ever known. It s been four years since the night she watched her mother drown during an unforgiving storm. The next day her father abandoned her on a legendary island filled with thieves and little food. 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.

Fable Quotes by Adrienne Young - Goodreads Fable Quotes by Adrienne Young - Goodreads

Once the sun goes down, the sweater gets put on, and the coffee is poured, and away she goes. She follows the breadcrumbs of whatever is waiting for her to chisel it out of the word storm that is perpetually swirling in her head. That was all he had to offer. And in the four hard years since, Fable has struggled to fulfill his words in a nasty world where every good thing you gain is stolen from you, and every precious morsel of food must be protected or hidden. The brand-new thrilling novel from New York Times best-selling author of Sky in the Deep Adrienne Young, the first book in the fantastic Fable duology.Author Adrienne Young writes novels from the genre of young adult fantasy, whose debut novel, called “Sky in the Deep” was released in the year 2018. It was named one of the most anticipated young adult books of the year 2018. To survive she must keep to herself, learn to trust no one and rely on the unique skills her mother taught her. The only thing that keeps her going is the goal of getting off the island, finding her father and demanding her rightful place beside him and his crew. To do so Fable enlists the help of a young trader named West to get her off the island and across the Narrows to her father. I looked over his head to the barrier islands, where the masts of trading ships tipped and swayed in the rough wind. The Marigold wasn’t there yet, but by sunrise, she would be. I pulled the coin from my purse and, with gritted teeth, dropped it into Koy’s palm. By now, he’d made so much copper off me that I’d practically paid for half of his skiff. The wind whipped around me as I stood, pulling strands of my dark auburn hair around my face. I took hold of the mast and leaned over the side, my eyes mapping the water as it raced beneath us. Fable, a seventeen-year-old castaway, has spent the last four years surviving on the island of Jeval. She has learned to fend for herself by dredging for gems and selling them at port. She hopes to buy her way off the island.
