'Iron King' Book Review
I adored this book as a whole. Julie Kagawa, the author, has really out done herself with this novel. Everything about it was absolutely endearing.
Puck, Robin Goodfellow, was probably my favorite male character. He was hilarious throughout the entire novel. He was always such a loyal friend to Meghan, and always so supportive of her, and protective. Puck was constantly trying to shield her from the horrors of the Nevernever, and was horribly disapproving of Meghan's infatuation with Ash. He was a brightening character of the plot line. Ash was another cherished character of mine. His demeanor towards Meghan was heart-breaking and heart-warming at the same time. He was cool and distant, and my foolish heart sighed at every scene that he was a part of, no matter how small. He was the heartthrob of the Iron Fey Series. Meghan was the a classic heroine throughout the entire series of the novels. She was naive and afraid though, and that made her even more relaitable, a young teenage girl who was plummeted into a faery world by the abduction of her brother, uprooting her entire life. Her narrating of her story was incredible to read! Every thought was well-described and thorough. Following her through her adventures was a joy in books that is rarely ever perfectly accomplished, but it was with this character.
The setting of the novel was very well-devoploped, one of the guiding characters being the lovable cait sidhe, Grimalkin. Faeryland was another very well-executed setting design that Julie Kagawa made look effortless. The dangerous and mysterious Nevernever never failed to excite me, just as it's inhabitants didn't.
The wyldwood, Arcadia, Tir Na Nog, and Mag Turdth were extremely enticing, and I felt myself wrapped up in the characters experiences as if they were my own. You have to pick this book up, and the rest of the series immediately! This well-progressed novel is a crowd pleaser for all book lovers! The denizens of Faery will enthrall you as never before!
