elistar 's review for:
The Iron Knight
by Julie Kagawa
I finished the Iron Fey series last week, and was expecting to have to wait to read the next installment in this series until late October this year - so imagine my giddiness when this book popped up on NetGalley late last week! Of course, I immediately requested it. I was ecstatic.
I started it as soon as I got it. Immediately I could tell that I was going to love reading from Ash's perspective. He has always been such a broody character, that I couldn't wait to read what really goes on inside his head. Plus, his interactions with Puck are nothing short of delightful. I found myself laughing out loud at Puck's goofy confidence and Ash's sarcastic one liners. Their friendship is one of my favorite parts of the series. And Grim is haughtier and snarkier than ever in The Iron Knight. As you might have been able to tell from the synopsis, Meghan is not as present in this book as she has been in the past few, since it revolves around Ash's quest, which I will try not to spoil for those of you who haven't read it yet :) But, I didn't miss her. You'll understand why when you read it.
The action starts right away, and I was completely drawn and invested in the story from the first few chapters. Ash's devotion to his cause is heart wrenching and beautiful. I wish more people were so loyal. Kagawa writes his emotions with such honesty and care, and I came to love his relationship with Meghan much, much more in this book, when I realized just how much it would cost him.
Faery is darker, more dangerous and more vividly wild in The Iron Knight than ever before. Kagawa's story twists and turns all the way through, and you'll never stop being surprised. I had NO idea where she was going most of the time. It was a ride through a world unlike any I've ever seen before, and a really, really good time.
The ending was perfect.
You will laugh, cry and be amazed at the power of love. In other words, fans of the Iron Fey series definitely won't be disappointed!
