The Last Legacy
by Adrienne Young
Readers return to Bastien and the world of Fable for a short book filled with political maneuvering, family drama, and love. Bryn returns home to Bastien 14 years after the death of her parents and is reunited with the family she doesn’t remember, the infamous Roths. Henrik Roth plans on using Bryn and the rest of the family to obtain a merchant’s ring for the Unnamed Sea and become a somewhat legitimate businessman.
Overall, the book's concept, plot, and character cast were good, but this should have been a duology. The beginning of the book was well-paced, but as I got closer and closer to the ending, aspects of the story felt unexplored, and the conclusion of felt rushed and anticlimactic. The last 30 pages wrapped up too quickly, with Bryn and Ezra encountering the “big” conflict that was solved in a matter of pages.
Bryn and Ezra’s relationship felt very surface level. The two barely spent any time together in the book, and their relationship developed out of nowhere. The ending of the book and the future of their relationship felt lazy.
Most of the problems with this book were the author’s decision to rush and put what could have been an expansive storyline into one book. One of the best parts about Fable and Namesake is the author took the time to develop a story because she allowed herself two books. The Last Legacy has the same problems as Sky in the Deep, Young packs too much into a book that is too short.
