The Iron Queen by Julie Kagawa

Review of The Iron Queen by Julie Kagawa

To Be Released: January 25, 2011

5 out of 5 smirks

Synopsis: “In less than twenty-four hours I’ll be seventeen.
Although, technically, I won’t actually be turning seventeen. I’ve been in the Nevernever too long. When you’re in Faery, you don’t age. So while a year has passed in the real world, agewise I’m probably only a few days older than when I went in.

In real life, I’ve changed so much I don’t even recognize myself.

MY NAME IS MEGHAN CHASE.

I thought it was over. That my time with the fey, the impossible choices I had to make, the sacrifices of those I loved, was behind me. But a storm is approaching, an army of Iron fey that will drag me back, kicking and screaming. Drag me away from the banished prince who’s sworn to stand by my side. Drag me into the core of conflict so powerful, I’m not sure anyone can survive it.

THIS TIME,

THERE WILL BE NO TURNING BACK.”

The Iron Queen by Julie Kagawa is magnificent. I am a huge fan of this series, and The Iron Queen only adds to the suspense and drama that is The Iron Fey Series.

Things I Loved About The Iron Queen:

Ash! I adore him

Puck being Puck

Meghan finally understanding her destiny

Gremlins

Meghan and Ash being together

IRONHORSE’s back up plan

The Iron Rebels

Technology’s version of flying monkeys

The witty, funny, and smart ass dialogue (love it, Puck and Ash are brilliant)

Basically all the events leading up to the end of the book (I don’t want to give anything away so that is all I will say)

I gave 5 smirks to The Iron Queen by Julie Kagawa because it is an amazingly wonderful book that pulls you into The Nevernever and shows you a world beyond reality. I was also thrilled to learn that this series will continue with Ash’s story called The Iron Knight, which is the best news ever! I cannot wait to see where this series leads! So do yourself a favor and go buy The Iron King, The Iron Daughter, and The Iron Queen (released in January), you will not regret it!
