Summary
New York Times bestselling author Adrienne Young returns with The Last Legacy， a captivating standalone about family and blood ties， reinventing yourself， and controlling your own destiny。
When a letter from her uncle Henrik arrives on Bryn Roth's eighteenth birthday， summoning her back to Bastian， Bryn is eager to prove herself and finally take her place in her long-lost family。
Henrik has plans for Bryn， but she must win everyone’s trust if she wants to hold any power in the delicate architecture of the family。 It doesn’t take long for her to see that the Roths are entangled in shadows。 Despite their growing influence in upscale Bastian， their hands are still in the kind of dirty business that got Bryn’s parents killed years ago。 With a forbidden romance to contend with and dangerous work ahead， the cost of being accepted into the Roths may be more than Bryn can pay。

I absolutely adore the world Adrienne Young has created in this book and in Fable and Namesake。 In this book we follow Brynn， a Roth， who just returned to Bastian and Ezra， the Roth's silversmith， who we met in Namesake。 Fitting back in with the Roth's is tough and Brynn is starting to realize it's not at all what she though it would be。 In this family where there's backstabbing， deceit and lies can anyone really come out on top？ I really enjoyed how this book played out and just how smart Brynn I absolutely adore the world Adrienne Young has created in this book and in Fable and Namesake。 In this book we follow Brynn， a Roth， who just returned to Bastian and Ezra， the Roth's silversmith， who we met in Namesake。 Fitting back in with the Roth's is tough and Brynn is starting to realize it's not at all what she though it would be。 In this family where there's backstabbing， deceit and lies can anyone really come out on top？ I really enjoyed how this book played out and just how smart Brynn is。 My only complaint is that the book ended so fast I needed at least another chapter with it all playing out。Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for providing me with an arc for an honest review。 。。。more

I was SO EXCITED to get this ARC， after having read Fable and Legacy！ I adore this series and world that Adrienne has built， and it was fantastic to read more， and to see what else was happening in Bastien！ Definitely highly recommended - I enjoyed every moment， as well as being able to learn more about Bryn！ She was such a headstrong character， and I adored that about her。

A cool addition to the world created in Fable。 Unfortunately， Bryn while very clever is not as passionate a heroine as Fable。 The story had its charm but lacked the excitement and adventure I was hoping for。

Ok， this world I am in love with。 Finishing the last page of The Last Legacy， I turned over to my husband and whined and said I need more， this world is phenomenal！ You got to do something！！ He goes I’m sure you will be ok waiting for another book。 Which I busted in tears and said this was a stand alone 😭🤣🤣🤣🤣 I really hope Adrienne Young decides to do more books in this world！！

I was a Roth， but I was made of breakable things， after all。 The Last Legacy by Adrienne Young is a spin-off series set in the same world as her famous Fable Duology。 We return to the Nameless Sea filled with merchants and gem traders to get better acquainted with the Roth family who enamored fans in just a few pages。 Following the death of her parents Brynn was sent away to live with her Great Aunt to learn the ways of high society but has now returned to take her place among the infamous Roths I was a Roth， but I was made of breakable things， after all。 The Last Legacy by Adrienne Young is a spin-off series set in the same world as her famous Fable Duology。 We return to the Nameless Sea filled with merchants and gem traders to get better acquainted with the Roth family who enamored fans in just a few pages。 Following the death of her parents Brynn was sent away to live with her Great Aunt to learn the ways of high society but has now returned to take her place among the infamous Roths， the most notorious crime family in Bastien。 While not unaware of her family’s reputation she initially struggles to find a way to contribute to their intricate underground operations。 After holding her own through a few business dealings she is finally given her first official task， she must help the seedy Roths integrate with the Basiten elite， quite a job indeed！ As she begins undertaking the societal make-over of her rough and tumble uncles and cousins she learns that she has only seen a small piece of what turns out to be a complex scheme that is bigger and more personal than she could have imagined。 As we get to know them， Brynn’s uncles and cousins each make their case that they are worthy of their own story， and I hope that Ms。 Young may bring them to us one day。 They’ve all grown up in the underground gem trade and are numb to the lies and violence that come with operating outside of the law。 As Brynn inserts herself into their lives she helps them understand that just because it is what they are used to does not necessarily mean that’s how it should be。 I’ve delayed bringing up Ezra because he deserves his own space。 He is one of the only members of the crew that is not family， but his talents as a silversmith make him a key player in their operation。 When Brynn first arrives， there is no love lost between the two and it is increasingly obvious that he does not want her there and even more， does not want her involved in the family’s dealings。 What is it about a broody man who is good with his hands that just makes the pages combust？ As Brynn and Ezra get to know each other’s secrets they grow close knowing that they are both trapped with impossible decisions in their future。 Their connection goes from tense to inevitable and Brynn must take drastic steps to ensure their future。 What I loved about the Fable duology and now The Last Legacy is that there are no accidents or coincidences。 The characters work five steps ahead of the reader and as the truths are revealed you can’t help but marvel at how Adrienne Young is able to place seemingly innocuous plot points that result in revelations that change the course of the story。 This is one to be read and then reread to fully appreciate all the details。 Adrienne Young has created a world that is easy to lose yourself in and harder to leave。 I’m sure I am not alone in hoping that this series has many more to come。 The Last Legacy is proof once again that Adrienne Young has solidified herself as a one-click author。 Congrats on another amazing release！ 。。。more

Is this really our last adventure in the world of Fable？？ Because I loved this new story featuring Bryn， the recently returned Roth family member who must navigate the world of this brutal yet strangely warm family。 Adrienne Young has a way of writing that makes reading effortless。 I’m instantly transported to wherever she’s taking me。 And I’m ready to be shipped off again （pun intended）。 Mystery， romance and scheming come together to form another unforgettable book。 More please！

To say I was excited to return to the world of Bastian， The Narrows， The Unnamed Sea， and all the wonderful beings therein would be an understatement。 Our heroine， 18-year-old orphan Bryn Roth， is thrust back into the world of Bastian after being raised in safety by her great-aunt Sariah in Nimsmire。 Returning back to Bastian and the world of her uncle Henrik and the infamous family from which she received her last name is as much inevitable as it is dangerous。 In Bastian， Bryn has to learn the To say I was excited to return to the world of Bastian， The Narrows， The Unnamed Sea， and all the wonderful beings therein would be an understatement。 Our heroine， 18-year-old orphan Bryn Roth， is thrust back into the world of Bastian after being raised in safety by her great-aunt Sariah in Nimsmire。 Returning back to Bastian and the world of her uncle Henrik and the infamous family from which she received her last name is as much inevitable as it is dangerous。 In Bastian， Bryn has to learn the dynamics of the family， including the secrecy and cutthroat business of gem trading， while trying to carve out a space for herself。 Bryn is a bright girl and a quick study， quickly figuring out just what exactly her place in the Roth family is destined to be and is faced with the decision of whether or not she wants to toe the family party line or make a dangerous break。 Adrienne Young has， yet again， crafted a brilliant world of full of depth， intrigue， and characters who feel REAL despite their slightly surreal situations。 After being introduced to the Roth family in Namesake， I was looking forward to getting to learn more about them and boy did I！ Bryn， like Fable， has a mind of her own and she's not going to let anyone tell her what to do or how she is supposed to act in life。 My one， and only， complaint was that the romance that developed within the story seemed to develop lightning fast and cross the line from infatuation to devotion very， very quickly。 However， that seems to be a mark of Young's books and it did not detract from my enjoyment of the book overall。Special thanks to NetGalley and St。 Martin’s Press/ Wednesday Books for sharing this advance reader copy with me in exchange my honest opinions。 。。。more

Adrienne Young takes readers back to the world she introduced in Fable and Namesake， a world of guilds and trade， where families rival for legitimacy and status。 Bryn， our story’s orphaned heroine finds herself thrown into the midst， placed with cutthroat relatives that many consider living on the fringes of society。 With her addition into the family business， there’s the hope that the Roths will finally have all the pieces they need to be able to secure their own rightful place within the guild Adrienne Young takes readers back to the world she introduced in Fable and Namesake， a world of guilds and trade， where families rival for legitimacy and status。 Bryn， our story’s orphaned heroine finds herself thrown into the midst， placed with cutthroat relatives that many consider living on the fringes of society。 With her addition into the family business， there’s the hope that the Roths will finally have all the pieces they need to be able to secure their own rightful place within the guild， elevating the family name from its dark and roguish past。 Bryn’s meant to essentially serve as her uncle’s pawn in his meticulously developed plans。 However， he doesn’t necessarily plan for a niece with a strong sense of will， someone desperately trying to forge an identity for herself， someone with enough skill and strength to willingly engage him in a battle of wills till the end。 Young’s latest offering also touches upon themes explored in her previous works: the desire to find a sense of place…a sense of belonging and peace that’s long been lost。 Bryn’s journey is one that’s just beginning， but readers should be satisfied with the sense of hope and anticipated adventure in store for her。 。。。more

https://bionicbookwormblog。wordpress。comI’ve read every book this author has written and i’ve liked them all…。 but this one might just be my favourite！ It was almost as if she took my favourite things from all the previous books， threw them into one， amplified the main character， and pressed submit lol。 There was so much intrigue and twists and turns in here and I loved every minute of it！Before I get into my thoughts on this book， I need to mention a few things。 Yes， this is a standalone。 The characters are introduced， the story has a beginning and end， and you don’t need to read any other book before going into this one to understand it。 However， the Roth family characters come from the Fable duology – specifically the second book Namesake。 Like I said， you’ll understand this book if you haven’t read Namesake BUT there are a few things and characters that are mentioned that might go over your head if you haven’t read it。 Reading Namesake first will definitely give you some context。 I remembered reading Namesake thinking that I wanted to know more about the Roth family – and then this book came along！I’ve said it before about Adrienne Young and I’ll say it again – she is a master of atmosphere！ The plot of her stories is what hooks you but it’s heightened by the way she makes you FEEL the story。 She creates such a large and detailed picture that makes it easy to feel as if you’ve fallen into the story itself。 You can see the streets， visualize the clothing， smell the sea air， and everything else in-between。 Here she’s found a way to represent the differences in society in a number of ways。 First of all is the setting。 This is a high class port city that’s divided into different sectors – docks， warehouses， merchants， taverns， tea houses， and more。 It becomes second nature to remember which parts of the city are clean and bright while others are dark and cold。 There’s also the differences in the society houses。 The higher members of society have marble floors and chandeliers while the Roth’s， cut from a different cloth， are more dark and comfortable。 They’re seemingly put together and presented well to society but there’s a shadow to them as well。When I first came across the Roth family in Namesake， I was instantly intrigued by them。 They clearly had an interesting backstory and were shrouded in mystery but they also had an insane amount of influence and ambition。 It was really interesting learning about them through the eyes of our main character Bryn。 She’s technically a member of the family but was raised by her Aunt， far away from Bastian， so is now considered an outsider。 She was clearly valued as she was a blood member of the family but she had to learn where her valued was。 She didn’t know a thing about them and it was clear they had a lot of secrets。 They also seemed like different people depending on their company。 Learning about the family from someone who was in their “inner circle” but knew nothing about them and had no specific loyalties was really interesting！Bryn was a fantastic main character！ She was so balanced and interesting。 She was strong but not overly confident or made rash decisions。 She was forceful but also willing to take a step back and listen in order to learn more。 She was smart and calculating but also willing to be a team player， while also keeping herself and her own plans in mind。 I loved following the confusion of her trying to figure out this family and what part she played within AND if she even wanted that part。 If Bryn were a real person I would absolutely want to be her friend！The only thing in this book I didn’t necessarily buy into was the romance。 I really liked them as a couple！ In fact， I loved them together and want more from these characters to see what their lives would look like in the future！ But it didn’t entirely make sense。 They went from eying each other from across the room to full on madly in love in a matter of seconds。 It was too much and WAY too fast。 They had barely even acknowledged their feelings before he was making the comment that he would rather die before seeing her with another man。 Dude – calm down。 The intensity and speed was all a little too much for my brain to handle。 It was totally a forbidden lovers scenario so， I guess， I kind of understand。 But still。 Calm down lol。I absolutely loved this book！ The pacing was consistent and fast all the way through， there were so many twists and turns， mysterious characters， and fantastic atmosphere。 I kind of already want to reread this！ Adrienne Young is quickly becoming an auto buy author！ I can’t wait to see what she comes out with next！ 。。。more

Definitely appropriate for 14/15 age range。 The writing is beautiful as the authors always is。 As for the plot， not a whole lot happened。 It is more of a coming of age story， finding ones place in the world and making your own fate。 Definitely a good story for the YA community。 3。5 stars。

I absolutely loved The Last Legacy but that's no surprise to me！ I loved the world in Fable & Namesake so getting to return to it again in a different way was amazing。 The relationships between the characters are so complex and while Bryn is technically the main character， all of the Roth family members play a pivotal role in how the story unfolds。 For example， Henrik is ruthless and does whatever it takes to succeed， including punishing family members when they cross him， then at the same time， I absolutely loved The Last Legacy but that's no surprise to me！ I loved the world in Fable & Namesake so getting to return to it again in a different way was amazing。 The relationships between the characters are so complex and while Bryn is technically the main character， all of the Roth family members play a pivotal role in how the story unfolds。 For example， Henrik is ruthless and does whatever it takes to succeed， including punishing family members when they cross him， then at the same time， he has this soft love for them all that enjoys a game of dice and pastries after dinner。 Without Henrik's leadership， the Roths might not succeed， but if Henrik wasn't pushing them they might all be a lot happier。 It's a really interesting dynamic and it plays out in the story really well。Bryn goes through so much in a short space of time， her growth across the space of the book was impressive - she changes from a shy nervous girl into someone who knows what she wants and does whatever she has to do to get it。 It doesn't come across as forced either， there are certain events that take place that changes the way she thinks and feels so it comes across as being very realistic。 The world the Roths inhabit is dangerous and dark， I loved the gritty atmosphere and fast-paced action。 The way Adrienne Young writes really sucks you into the story and gets you invested in the characters right from the start， I finished the book in two sittings - I just had to know what happened next。 I still say a story about Saint and Isolde would be amazing， but now I would also love to see Henrik when he was younger or whatever happens in the future for Ezra and Bryn！ 。。。more

I inhaled this book in one sitting。 I adore this world of Adrienne Young’s。 She’s such a gifted writer and I feel like I’m wandering the salt covered streets of Bastian。 I loved the characters and the oh so complex relationships between them。 That was probably the most delectable part and the part that kept me flipping pages。 All I know is that Adrienne Young is an instant buy author for me now！ And I’m just saying， she should totally write more books in this rich world。

First line: "The docks were no place for a lady。"It was always going to be tough to top the Fable duology， so it's just unfortunate that this one fell short。 As always， I love the way Adrienne writes and the way that she can make a world come alive and feel so immersive。 I just wasn't sold on the romance between Bryn and Ezra， mainly because the timeline was so short。 There was a lack of connection with it all for me and the romance and plot felt too quick。Even though I didn't love this one， First line: "The docks were no place for a lady。"It was always going to be tough to top the Fable duology， so it's just unfortunate that this one fell short。 As always， I love the way Adrienne writes and the way that she can make a world come alive and feel so immersive。 I just wasn't sold on the romance between Bryn and Ezra， mainly because the timeline was so short。 There was a lack of connection with it all for me and the romance and plot felt too quick。Even though I didn't love this one， I'm here for anything and everything Adrienne writes next。 。。。more
