I’m reviewing The Iron Knight by Julie Kagawa at Smexybooks

Favorite Quote: “I will be with her again, or I will die. There aren’t any other options.

Once upon a time a handsome dark prince of the Winter Court met and fell in love with the half human princess of the Summer Court. The law states though that Winter and Summer can never be together, so the pair were threatened with banishment and death if they did not part. However true love cannot be denied and the lovers set out on their own to find their way in the world. When war came to Neverever, the lovers fought and won the Summer Princess’s right to be Queen of the Iron Fey.

The now Queen knew her beloved Winter prince would never survive in her kingdom of iron so with every ounce of love she possessed for him, she invoked his true name and banished him from her land; never to return. But the Winter prince had fought too long and too hard to be with his true love so he made an unbreakable oath on that day. He vowed, as her prince and knight, he would find away to be with her forever…or die trying.

 

This is his story.

I’m Reviewing The Iron Queen by Julie Kagawa at Smexy Books

Fairy tales are often told of the beautiful and benevolent fae bestowing gifts of wonder and delight to unsuspecting humans. But Meghan Chase knows better. She sees the real fae and has lived in their cruel world. Being half human and half fae has brought her nothing but ridicule and pain as she tries to navigate her life-straddling the gray area between fact and fantasy.

At the end of The Iron Daughter, Meghan (a child of the Summer King) and Ash (a child of the Winter Queen) were banished forever from Nevernever for daring to love one another and are back in the human world for good. This appeals to Meghan as she sees it as a chance to leave everything fae behind and for her and Ash to be together. But nothing is ever concrete with the fae and a missive appears from Meghan’s father asking for her attendance. If Meghan can defeat the Iron King, her and Ash’s banishment will be “pardoned” without fear of reprisal.

Meagan knows that she must go back and defeat the (false) Iron King if she is ever to go forward with her life.

My New Book Review is at Smexy Books-The Iron King by Julie Kagawa

Todays review is Julie Kagawa's The Iron King and Winter's Passage

The Iron King (Book one in the Iron Fey series) by Julie Kagawa 
Meghan Chase has never felt like she belonged. Now on the eve of her 16th birthday she'll find out why. When her brother is kidnapped, Meghan is suddenly thrust into a world she never knew existed.  The world of Fairy. A world of filled with magic,intrigue, and death. She learns that although she is the Summer King's daughter  it Will afford her no protection or help in this turbulent world. As Meghan draws deeper into Fairy to find her brother she will have to trust her enemies to get her out alive.


The Iron King is a fantastical tale told through the eyes of 16 yr old Meghan Chase. Meghan is part fey though she doesn't know it. Only when her brother is taken does she realize that her entire life has been a lie. Now she must bury her fears & doubts and enter a world that doesn't want her.

Ms Kagawa takes A Midsummer's Night Dream, adds a modern twist, and continues the tale. Astounding world building gives us a dark haunting world that is an interesting mix of new,old and futuristic themes. As Meghan tries to accept she is the Summer King's daughter, she must also deal with the cold and inhuman like aspect of the fey.  She is given knowledge in true fey fashion, half truths and riddles, and makes many mistakes this new and dangerous world.  

Winter’s Passage (Book 1.5 in the Iron Fey series) by Julie Kagawa Meghan Chase has saved her brother and returned home. But now she must honor her contract with Ash, the Winter Prince.

In The Iron King Meghan promised that she would accompany Ash to the Winter Court if he helped her find and recover her brother. When Ash comes for her she goes willingly but has a request. She wants to see Puck first.  As Meghan and Ash begin their journey, something dangerous hunts them. Something that has no intention of allowing Meghan go anywhere.
In this brief but enchanting novella, we are given a bridge between The Iron Kingand The Iron Daughter. Meghan and Ash have survived the Iron Court, killed the Iron King, and got Ethan back safe and sound. But the contract she made with Ash is binding so she prepares to follow her love into the Winter Court.
