The Iron Knight by Julie Kagawa

“My fall began, as many stories do, with a girl.”

I can finally say that I have finished a series and I am so proud of myself. I have started this series like 3 years ago and kept on procrastinating reading it and now that I have I feel so sad that it had come to an end.

This instalment is narrated from Ash’s perspective which I couldn’t be happier about since I absolutely adore Ash. I really enjoyed this book even though it felt a bit slower than the other ones. My favorite thing about this book was Puck and Ash, I just love their enemies-friends relationship and their banter was just everything. Surprisingly I actually liked Puck in this book even though I have always found him annoying (maybe it was Meghan’s pov) and I am so excited for his new book that will be released next year.

Speaking of Meghan, I was surprised by the lack of her in this book, she almost didn’t appear at all. Grimmalkin of course was a constant presence in this one, I absolutely love him, he’s my favorite character in this series. A new addition to our crew was the big bad wolf and I really enjoyed his banter with Grim.

Spoiler

I was very surprised when they found out that Ariella was alive all along and I have to admit that I didn’t like her that much, I mean I pitied her for the situation that she was in, knowing that the boy you love will fall for another and actually seeing it sucks a lot. What surprised me even more was how I cried when she sacrificed herself, it was a very sad and beautifully written scene.

All in all, this was a solid conclusion to this amazing series and I’ll definitely be revisiting it again and again. These characters and this world has grown on me and it felt so nostalgic reading this book.

“I have come from the End of the World. From the River of Dreams, through the gauntlet and the Briar and the Deep Wyld, in order to stand before you today. I have but one request—to take my place at your side. To resume my duty as your knight, and to protect you and your kingdom for as long as I draw breath.”

I almost forgot to talk about the guide to visiting the Nevernever that was at the end of this book, I loved it so much found it extremely hilarious.

“Do not be deceived by the politeness of the fey. Fey are almost always polite. This does not mean they will not happily remove your head.”
