I loved all ‘The Iron Fey’ books. But the ending of book three was really devastating. So I was really glad to learn that there was a fourth book in this amazing series. More amazingly: this book is written by Ash his point of view. So I really couldn’t wait to start reading ‘The Iron Knight’.

In ‘The Iron Knight’ Ash is on a dangerous journey to find a way to be with Meghan. On this journey Ash is accompanied by old friends and soon he finds out that life isn’t always what it seems to be. But is there really a way to be with Meghan? Or is Ash on his way to a painful death?

What I liked most about this book is the way you find out more about Ash his past. In the previous books you learned a little about how Ash was before he met Meghan but in this book you see everything through Ash his eyes. I really liked it and I was really glad how this book ended. This book is an amazing end to an amazing series and I really really loved it.

I give this book five stars.


I love this series! It was interesting to get the final book told from Ash's perspective. A great ending!

I don't read the previous books but I do enjoy reading this one.

Found this boring and ended up skimming quite a bit. I loved Ash with Meaghan in the first 3 books so was not that interested in a book which strongly featured Ash and his dead ( but not really and then really) first love and very little interaction with Meaghan.

From Goodreads: My name—my True Name—is Ashallayn'darkmyr Tallyn.

I am the last remaining son of Mab, Queen of the Unseelie Court. And I am dead to her.

My fall began, as many stories do, with a girl…

The final installment in the Iron Fey series by Julie Kagawa is no disappointment. I wondered about it, the story told from Ash’s perspective, but found that I rather enjoyed it. I’ve been annoyed at books done like this in the past, because they just seem stale to me. This one didn’t, probably because it’s not retelling the story from his point of view, it’s continuing the story that we left. I like that approach.

I felt like we got to know more of the real Ash here. We see more into his character and get more insight into who he is and why he does what he does. I liked him a whole lot more here than I did in the previous three books.

I also liked Puck a lot more. Sometimes he bugged me in the other books, but here he made sense. It’s like he’s the perfect foil for Ash, and not just because of the Meghan connection. Everything that he isn’t, Ash is, and everything that Ash isn’t, Puck is. I like that they both grew into themselves and gained strength through the things they faced.

I liked the continuation of the story and the journey that Ash and Puck went on. I liked the action and I liked the resolution. I just liked the whole thing a lot. (Actually, I’ve really enjoyed the entire series and you should probably read them all.)

I’m giving The Iron Knight a ‘Pick Me’ rating for being an awesome conclusion to an awesome series!

This wasn't my favorite book of the series. It didn't have much drama or adventure l. There were no wars or angry kings/queens but it was nice to see what Ash would do for Meghan!
