Ill write a review when i'm not so busy! :)

I just finished The Iron King and I was highly impressed. I do love the Fae. They are one of my favorites in the Fantasy genre. Put the Fae and Julie Kagawa together and you will definitely get something wonderful!!!!!

After reading novels on angels, devils, and vampires, getting into the fey series was refreshing. Julie Kagawa's take on the Fey was truly an interesting read. Bringing in a source of iron, weakness to the Fey world, and transforming it into a fast paced novel that hit all the way home.

I found it fun to see the characters of A Midsummer Nights Dream cameo in Kagawa's novel. King Oberon, Queen Titiana, Robin Goodfellow, Queen Mab. Every character drew me into the story. Especially Ash. The Winter Prince that shot an arrow through my heart. How i wish some characters were real people. It's a saddening to remind myself that he's but a character.

Reading about Meghan's adventure through the Nevernever to find her younger brother (half-brother) Ethan, traveling along side the quirky Puck, the Ice Prince Ash, meeting the mysterious (always pegged me for the Cheshire Cat) Grim, and all the mythical creatures of the Faery Relm made this a fun novel to jump into. I definitely recommended for the romancey-actiony-fantasy readers out there because The Iron King should be on your TBR lis asap!

Good heavens, why on earth does this book have so many good reviews? Meghan is the same vapid teenage girl featured in every young adult novel in the world. She throws every semblance of self-preservation out the window in hopes that Prince Charming will rescue her. She falls in love with Ash, who is basically a sexy block of stone who wants nothing to do with her. The guy who is unswervingly loyal to her and has been her best friend basically since birth is of course not at all in the running for being her love interest. He's not enough of an asshole. I've said it before and I'll say it again. TEENAGE ROMANCE IS ABSURD. YOU KNOW NOTHING, MEGHAN CHASE.

3 1/2 review coming

Eh. A cross between Holly Black's TITHE and Melissa Marr's WICKED LOVELY. A tiny bit of TWILIGHT thrown in because the sexy immortal is physically cold. (I will never understand the appeal of a chilly lover; it seems almost like necrophilia to me!). It wasn't all bad. I enjoyed her tricky plotting with riddles and cleverly worded contracts but basically it's the kind of book where everyone addresses the heroine as "human" or "princess" or they intone first and last name. (Luckily it's Meghan Chase. Just imagine if she were Heather Finkelstein!) But most damning of all, the parts about the land of the fairies were terribly overwritten. Fairyland should be the best part of a book about fairies, urban or otherwise. That's a rule.
