(4 out of 5)
Book will be published on October 30: I tried not to include any spoilers
I was really excited when I found out Ms. Kagawa was returning to the world of the Iron Fey. I just didn't want this wonderfully colorful, and sometimes frightening world to be over. I was even more excited when I got my hands on an advanced reader copy. Sometimes being a librarian just rocks!
Ms. Kagawa returns with Ethan's story. It has been thirteen years since Ethan was last in the land of Faery, when he had been kidnapped by the Iron King. His sister Meghan came to his rescue and ended up the Iron Queen. He lost his sister to the land of Faery and Fey and he never quite got over it. The fey won't leave him alone. He has spent all his life trying to dodge them and they just keep getting him in trouble.
At his new school he just wants to keep his head down and graduate. But a half faery named Todd and a girl named Kenzie make it hard for him to do that. When a group of fey Ethan has never seen before starts coming around, him and Kenzie end up in Faery, in the Iron Kingdom. I think that is where all the fun begins. Familiar characters pop up like Grimlakin, Puck, Ash, Glitch and some new characters as well. My only complaint is I felt like I was missing something when it came to Ethan and Keirran and why Meghan didn't want Ethan coming to Faery. I'm not sure if I missed something not having read Iron's Prophecy or if it will be revealed in the next two books. Other than that this was another great Iron Fey novel. I am looking forward to the next one.
