Nice filler between books, made me connect a bit more with the relationship between the main characters

Unfortunately, this did nothing for me. I enjoyed the writing style and the setting but, other than that, neither the plot of the novella nor the increasing awkz between Meghan and Ash appealed to me.

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated

I am glad i read this before I jumped into iron daughter. It has been a while since I read the iron King and I feel this updated me a little into the story line again. You really get to see the internal struggle that Ash is experiencing. I also loved the hunter being the Big Bad Wolf. Julie is just amazing at breathing new life into old fairy tales. Can't wait to continue this series.

My favorite thing about this series is the Folklore and worldbuilding. The concept that these creatures and world exist because of stories told in the human world, from human's imaginations, is a spectacular and unique plot device.
I won't spoil anything here, but this novella tapes into that concept even more with the villain of this short story. Ash and Maegan are traveling to Winter as per the conditions of their bargain set in the first book. It quickly becomes apparent that they are being hunted by ... something.
I loved this novella, especially because we get some more tender moments between Ash and Maegan! If you're reading this series, I highly recommend not skipping the novellas and extras Kagawa has given us over the years.

Two days from the end of Iron King while Meghan the faery princess and her forbidden love Ash, are now on their detour to see Puck before returning to the Unseelie Court, as Meghan promised. Something has the horses spooked after they come through the Trod to find their way to New Orleans and quickly they realize something very powerful is speedily closing the distance between them and is after Meghan. Meghans journey to one place she doesn't want to be, Winter Court, shortens as she runs there from this haunting creature hot on their trail.
I found I enjoyed this short novella. It got me to thinking there is another side to Ash, one that could be kind and loving. He agrees to stop on the way back to Winter Court to see if Puck is well or even just still alive. We get a touch more of the Unseelie fey and how tough of a crew they are and how unfavorable toward Summer fey they are. Meghan as a character, we see once again how strong a character she is and her beliefs for what she does. And Meghan starts to tap into her powers just briefly in this short story, but it shows she could be very strong.
In this I start to feel Meghan and Ash's potential love is moving quicker than I'm ready for. They seem to need to slow down some. But, I like the potential of them as a couple.
We meet a fey creature older than the Midsummer Night's Dream characters, and even stronger. One that you will recognize as soon as mentioned.
We get Meghan's first glimpse of Tir Na Nog and how to enter the city. Along with the first view of Queen Mab in her own court.
