Narrative Supposing Books The Iron King (The Iron Fey #1)
Meghan Chase has a secret destiny; one she could never have imagined.Something has always felt slightly off in Meghan's life, ever since her father disappeared before her eyes when she was six. She has never quite fit in at school or at home.
When a dark stranger begins watching her from afar, and her prankster best friend becomes strangely protective of her, Meghan senses that everything she's known is about to change.
But she could never have guessed the truth - that she is the daughter of a mythical faery king and is a pawn in a deadly war. Now Meghan will learn just how far she'll go to save someone she cares about, to stop a mysterious evil, no faery creature dare face; and to find love with a young prince who might rather see her dead than let her touch his icy heart.

This started off pretty strong and then moved to boring me to tears. So much so that I kept checking the clock, hoping it was time for my dentist appointment so I could stop reading.Ill finish this review after my appointment...and a nap...Update: My dentist appointment ended up being a surprise root canal (THE DAY BEFORE THANKSGIVING. I AM SO #BLESSED), yet I still can't decide if that annoyed me more than this book.Non-spoilery things I liked:1. Some of the world building.That was legit.ICOFA (InCase of Fairy Abduction)In the event that you are abducted by fairies, please adhere to the following guidelines so that I don't have to watch or read about you blundering through fairyland like an incompetent idiot.1. Never thank a fairy for services rendered.2. Never eat fairy food.3. Never dance with fairies.4. Never strike a bargain with a fairy unless you've agreed on the fine points. The Iron King is a book about a sixteen year old girl, Meghan Chase. Can I advise all people
Meghan realizing she has faery blood:Meghan sees Ash:Ash tries to kill Meghan:Meghan still chases after him:Yeah, you probably get the idea. This might sound like a cheesy book, but don't worry, there's definitely more to it!Meghan's brother is caught by the evil baddies, the Iron fey.She meets many wonderful characters in winter wonderland and in the sunny summer territories!Yes, there's definitely more than Helena and Demetrius actions between Meghan and Ash!
"Of all the stupid ideas! What is wrong with you?"-Robin Goodellow aka Puck when asked to choose a sentence to describe Meghan When-in-danger-when-in-doubt-run-in-circles-scream-and-shout Chase. We all appreciate his outspokenness.As a matter of fact, I'm rating this three stars not because it's good (that's what the three-star rating means for me); I'm rather doing it because it's not bad, in a pleasant way. It does no harm. The book is undoubtedly pretty naive, childish at times, crammed full
Endearing Heroine? Check. Unique plot? Check. Gripping story that sucks you right in? Check. Loveable and interesting secondary characters? Check. Hot romance? Check!You see? DING DING DING DING DING ! Jackpoooooot!God, I pretty much devoured this book. As so many others I find it rather difficult to review books that I loved and seeing as the Iron King will join the rest of my favorite books in my personal hall of fame I can hardly come up with anything to say about it except for:
Wow!- As many others have stated, at first glance THE IRON KING appears to be your typical faerie book. Summer court? Check. Winter court? Check. Shakespeare-esque characters? Check. Yes there are similarities, but these lie only in the bare backbone of the story. Yes there are those faerie courts and A Midsummer Night's Dream characters (Oberon, Titania, etc), but they are necessary for the make-up of the story. From here on out, Julie Kagawa makes THE IRON KING shine in the already-faerie
Final rating: 3/5 starsFinal rating - for the whole series: 3.5/5 starsTo venture in a world of The Iron Fey, you must proceed with this knowledge:1. This is not a book about fairies like these:Imagine evil - well, not all of them are evil- ELVES, so called FAERY or plural FEY.2. They don't have wings (well, most of them don't) and there are many of them like dryads, goblins, gremlins, kelpies, ogres and so on and on.3. In this world, fey are not to be trusted! They will always go for favors and
