The Iron King by Julie Kagawa
4.0
I've never read anything about faeries.
The only faerie I knew was Tinkerbell. And she was cute and small and could fly.
The faeries that you encounter in the Nevernever are quite different.
I liked the concept of the book. It reminded me somewhat of "The Devouring" by Simon Holt, as the beginning is pretty similar with a female protagonist, who has to save her younger brother..but the rest is completely different.
I liked how Meghan was not one of these whiny girls and how much willpower and strength she put into the rescue of her brother.
But I still haven't decided whether I'm Team Puck or Team Ash. Although I tend more to Team Ash.
Also, Grimalkin. He reminded me totally of the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland. Was that rather a coincidence or was that on purpose?
