A review by katmullen
The Iron King by Julie Kagawa

4.0

I had such a good time reading this book! I never read it as a teenager, but it brought back the 2010’s nostalgia I needed. I did have to remind myself this was one of the OGs and so many came after this though with they’re own ‘I’m not special, I’m just a poor plain girl’ trope after this.

I actually had no idea what to really expect, so was shocked when there turned out to be tech-based fey. But I loved the mesh of those with our classic Midsummer Night Dream faeries.

Loved all the vibes and the different types of fey. I need a Jim Henson-type adaptation of this. I knew where we were gonna end up in the end, but I enjoyed the ride to get there.

“Do not lose your hear to a faery prince. It never ends well.”

Thank you Harlequin for the free copy!
