Book review for Iron King by Julie Kagawa



The Iron fey series as a whole are simply amazing; the author does a wonderful job of portraying Meghan’s feelings of regret and longing. The first book, Iron King, is probably my favorite though. In the beginning Meghan is just another angst ridden teen trying to survive high school in the outskirts of Louisiana, her best friend Robbie Goodfell in tow. Then on the day of her 16th birthday her four-year-old brother Ethan gets kidnapped by faeries, Meghan also finds out that her best friend of sixteen years “Robbie” is actually Robin Goodfellow, a.k.a Puck. Together they must travel into the darkest parts of Nevernever looking for Ethan.  Discovering hidden parts of Meghan’s past along with ominous predictions of the future. Soon they are even accompanied by the unfeeling, Unsellie prince Ash; and the cat sithe Grimalkin. Bound by contracts and promises they set out looking for the Iron King, before he finds them.
