The Iron King by Julie Kagawa
#1 in the Iron Fey series
As a self proclaimed fairy lover, I was drawn to this book. I have read other fairy books and most authors follow the Midsummer’s Night by Shakespeare formula which to be honest, gets a little old… This one started out this way, half fairie girl gets sucked into the world of the Seelie and Unseelie courts. However, the writing style of this author keeps you interested regardless at that point.
Then, she got creative!
Pro: It’s called the Iron Fey series for a reason, she brought a unique twist to the story by introducing a line of characters and a plot that were both unique and interesting.
Con: The main girl , Meghan Chase, is a pretty typical YA character, as well as the love triangle she’s involved in with Ash being the typical bad boy you can’t have but want anyways and Puck being the best friend who’s always loved her but never told her kind of deal .
But all in all, I enjoyed the book and I am looking forward to reading the sequel, The Iron Daughter.
4 and a half out of 5 stars
