A Narrows Novella: Drift: Willa & Koy by Adrienne Young

 

A Narrows Novella

After leaving the only family she's ever had on the Marigold , Willa has made a new start on a remote island carving out her own stake in the future of the Narrows. She's found an unexpected business partner in Koy and whether she likes it or not, they are suited in more ways than one. Together they plan to turn Jeval into the farthest reaching port before the waters of the Unnamed Sea. But when the Saltblood ships docking in their newly minted harbor start bringing unsettling news from Bastian that could mean trouble for the Narrows, Willa's determination to walk a path apart from her brother West will be tested. The more serious the situation gets, the more she's forced to rely on Koy, and she discovers that he's more than an opportunity to create her own destiny. He also just might be the safest harbor she's ever known.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

The Narrows world is such a good one! I love diving back into it. But this novella definitely was not enough! And with that ending, I really hope that means we aren’t done with this world quite yet. There is definitely so much more to explore. In this novella we catch up with Willa and Koy. They’ve been working hard for quite a while now to make Jeval into a port worth stopping at. They have high hopes but it isn’t easy. Not with the locals who aren’t a fan of what they are doing, despite the money it brings it. But together, these two can do anything. And things take a dangerous turn when they don’t back down to those who threaten to ruin all they have worked for. Plus, there seems to be more trouble on the horizon. And the time may come for them to decide to stay quiet or act. Loved these two and like I said this was not nearly enough. I definitely want more of them and that tiny cliffhanger ending makes me want more! Fingers crossed this world isn’t finished quite yet!
