World based loosely on Fable by Adrienne Young
Welcome to the Narrows! A world based mostly on its relationship with the ocean. There is no map to the narrow sea. No known voyages which give options for finding gems, but also the loss of ships and lives without the cutthroat nature. Some people who aren’t murdered or coerced can also be left on islands to dreg to survive and have the hope of one day making enough money to sell their soul to a crew for a few years. People barely survive by selling their wares or joining crews. The narrows are the scrappy poorer side of those scavenging the ocean as opposed to the unnamed sea. They are not monopolized by some of the darker figures cutthroat enough to live in luxury and hold people by strings unseen. With the narrows a wild west of trading, a council has been made to help regulate and box them in more. Except it is rare and difficult. Most must fly under the radar and fight with others. Gems are the most lucrative trades. There were once creatures known as gem sages. They were entirely human but could hear the humming of the gems without seeing them. They are rare. Sought after. And in utter danger should they have been found out. Except some of the mages have gone missing from the richer parts of the sea. Some joining crews in the narrows. Will they be found out as pirates? Will they lose the merchant's license? Will their boats survive? Can you find love and friendship in this cutthroat world?

I knew what he meant because I’d seen it. Everyone had. Isolde was the wind and sea and sky of Saint’s world. She was the pattern of stars that he navigated by, the sum of all directions on his compass. And he was lost without her.
- Fable, Ch. 41, p. 234-235.

Book Review: The Unmaking of June Farrow by Adrienne Young
Tumblr media
The Unmaking of June Farrow is precisely the type of book I look for to usher in the cozy-spooky-quiet of fall time. Not only is there a quaintness to the setting, which nestles itself comfortably amid the farms and the flower fields of a small town in North Carolina where everyone knows each other, but there's also a magical realism element that frays timelines, blurs ancestral ties, and unravels family secrets and curses.
As the story opens, June Farrow is waiting to be claimed. For madness to take her like it has taken all Farrow women before her. She is determined to be the last of her name, to never fall in love, to never pass the family curse onto another generation. However, after her grandmother's death, a flurry of clues arrive that are connected to her mother's disappearance, leading her to step through a mysterious red door in search of answers. What she finds on the other side is both unbelievable and uncanny, but it also reveals something she's secretly always wanted.
The journey June embarks upon challenges every belief she has about herself, her family, and the history of her beloved town, Jasper, that she thought she knew. It's an intricately plotted and suspenseful tale with a slow unraveling that'll keep readers hunting for answers right alongside June.
The story itself is a bend of different genres and tropes - from murder mystery to fantasy, from time travel to thriller to unconventional second chance romance - which gives it an unorthodox pulse, making it both offbeat and comfy all at once.
If I had to categorize the book as a whole, I'd say its themes and cadence lie somewhere between Practical Magic, The Time Traveler's Wife, Dark Matter, and The Invisible Life of Addie La Rue. Reading it is like stepping through a door and into a portal world where an unsolved mystery shadows the town and love can cross any boundary of time. Perfect for anybody who likes atmospheric reads in the autumn!
Many thanks to NetGalley and Ballantine for the ARC in exchange for my review.
4/5 stars
