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!
