I think I went on an emotional roller coaster reading this book...and I loved every second of it!
I was surprised that I liked this one so much- it's been a long time since I read the first 3 Iron Fey books, and while I missed Khristine Hvam's narration (there was cute extra bit at the end where Hvam interviews Kagawa), but I really liked Ash and Puck's adventures.
Will I read the Ethan books? I'm still not sure.

bitmesine çok üzüldüm ama aksiyonunu en çok sevdiğim kitap oldu ash'i ve puck'ı çok seviyorum iyi geceler
Originally this series was a trilogy. Then the author went and added a fourth book. Sometimes a fourth book can be unnecessary and not very good. This one was pretty good. The style was the same as the first 3 books. Instead of following the same character though, she changes it up and we follow Ash at the end of his journey to round out the series.
I liked that it switched characters to tell the ending. It worked well for me. The pacing of the book was good. Finding out more about Ash and who he is was nice. Overall the series was great. I would definitely pick up the Call of the Forgotten books, set in this world or even other books written by this author.
It is a great series for fans of YA Paranormal Romance. It is well written and has some uniqueness to it, though it will have a familiar feel for genre.

A very interesting end to an enjoyable, if uneven, series. The first 3 books in the series focused so heavily on the journey of Megan Chase from an ordinary human teenage girl, to the Queen of the Iron Fey. This last book, while completing this story, really had nothing to do with Megan. Instead, this was the story of Ash, the Winter Court Prince, who had fallen in love with Megan, and his quest to find way to be with her in the in the Iron Kingdom.
What journey would be complete with out his BFF/Enemy, the one and only Robin Goodfellow, AKA Puck. And of course, to lead them on their way, trying to mostly keep them on the right path and out of trouble is our favorite cat, Grimalkin. They are also joined by "The Big Bad Wolf" who is forever trying to keep himself alive in the minds of others by inserting himself into other's stories/adventures. In this case, it is beneficial as he has some knowledge of the lands they must travel through and reveals himself to be a strong ally.
Puck and Ash's relationship is complicated. They are from opposing courts, which automatically puts them at odds. But when they are able to escape the politics of the Summer and Winter courts, they can also be the best of friends, or at least they were until a girl and her death came between them.
As Ash makes this journey to find a way to stay with Megan in the Iron court, you know that this conflict, that has simmered between Ash and Puck for centuries will have to final come to a head. And it does, in a not unexpected, yet understandable story device. While I was not surprised by the reappearance of Ari, I felt that it was done not as a plot device per se, but more as a logical part of the quest Ash is on. And while there had been a love triangle of sorts between these three, it was not heavily played on in this story, having pretty much resolved that in the past 3 books through flashbacks.
As is expected, Ash is successful on his quest, makes peace with his past, and with Puck. The weakest part of this book was the epilogue. After having spent 300+ pages looking at the world from Ash's point of view, to return to Megan's felt out of place.
The one complaint I have had about this series is the uneven writing, which has gotten much smoother as the series progressed. But I found that Ms Kagawa seemed most at ease writing for Ash, as this felt to be the most solid of the stories, the most clearly written without a lot of unnecessary descriptive set ups. She clearly understands this character and enjoys writing for him. This came across quite clearly in this final book. It was jarring to see her lapse back into less when she returned to finish the story from Megan's point of view.
After a really rough start (see my previous reviews of this series) I am very glad I stuck with this series. I found the story itself very interesting and fun, a different take on the world of the Fey. And the writing got better along the way. As long as Ms Kagawa has a character she is passionate about (not just an interesting story) I think she has a great potential to be an author that graces the shelves of my library.

Pure brilliance. The whole series is completely amazing and wonderful. Julie Kagawa is an amazing writer and a brilliant mind.
Definitely my favourite of the series.

After a slow start this novel was a great conclusion to the original saga. Starting this off with the perspective of Ash did take a little while to get into but once the adventure started you really didn’t want to put the book down.
