Book Review ⋯ The Iron Queen

Title: The Iron Queen
Series: The Iron Fey ⋯ Book 3
Author: Julie Kagawa
Pages: 358
Stars: ★★★★★


Summary: 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.


Review: I LOVED THIS BOOK!!! It was so good, and I loved the ending. Everything was just so good! I can't come up with words to describe it other than I loved it. I loved it, I loved it, I loved it! If you haven't read the series, you need to, now.

Book Review ⋯ The Iron Daughter

Title: The Iron Daughter
Series: The Iron Fey ⋯ Book 2
Author: Julie Kagawa
Pages: 359
Stars: ★★★★★


Summary: Half Summer faery princess, half human, Meghan has never fit in anywhere. Deserted by the Winter prince she thought loved her, she is prisoner to the Winter faery queen. As war looms between Summer and Winter, Meghan knows that the real danger comes from the Iron fey—ironbound faeries that only she and her absent prince have seen. But no one believes her.
Worse, Meghan's own fey powers have been cut off. She's stuck in Faery with only her wits for help. Trusting anyone would be foolish. Trusting a seeming traitor could be deadly. But even as she grows a backbone of iron, Meghan can't help but hear the whispers of longing in her all-too-human heart.


Review: I really loved this book. I think I liked it more than The Iron King. It was exciting and action packed. Not to mention filled with Ash! I loved the struggle Meghan had between the mortal world and the Nevernever. What I mean is that sometimes she would long to go home to the mortal realm and be normal, then almost right after she would wonder if she would ever be able to go back to being normal, after seeing what she has. I also loved the mini-struggle between Meghan had between Puck and Ash. I love Ash!

Waiting On Wednesday {1/18}

Title: The Immortal Rules
Series: Blood of Eden ⋯ Book 1
Author: Julie Kagawa
Pages: 304
Release Date: April 24, 2012


Summary: You will kill. The only question is when. 

In the dark days since the insidious Red Lung virus decimated the human population, vampires have risen to rule the crumbling cities and suburbs. Uncontested Princes hold sway over diminished ranks of humans: their "pets." In exchange for their labor, loyalty and of course, their blood, these pets are registered, given food and shelter, permitted to survive. 

Unregistered humans cling to fringes, scavenging for survival. Allison Sekemoto and her fellow Unregistereds are hunted, not only by vampires, but by rabids, the unholy result of Red Lung-infected vampires feeding on unwary humans. One night, Allie is attacked by a pack of rabids, saved by an unlikely hero...and turned vampire. 

Uncomfortable in her undead skin, Allie falls in with a ragtag crew of humans seeking a cure, or cures: for Rabidism and for Vampirism. She's passing for human...for now. But the hunger is growing and will not be denied. Not for friendship—not even for love.

Book Review ⋯ The Iron King

Title: The Iron King
Series: The Iron Fey ⋯ Book 1
Author: Julie Kagawa
Pages: 363
Stars: ★★★★★


Summary: 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.


Review: This book was really good. I liked the writing style and the descriptions. I think Julie Kagawa created a masterpiece, and I loved the ending. This is just one of those books where I have no idea what to say about it. I loved it, but I just can't find the words to describe that love. Read the book.
