The Iron King by Julie Kagawa
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.
Once again I am drawn into a YA book. My first favorite YA book was the Twilight series. This book is in my opinion would be categorized as fantasy. My first and I fell right into it easier than I thought. It is like Twilight in that there is a love triangle and the fey are immortal like the vampires in Twilight. I am not implying these books are similar beyond that. They are very different. I am a big believer that a review should not contain a spoiler. So I will stick by this and say that I felt she developed the main characters well and I found Meghan, Puck and Ash enjoyable. Puck is a very fun character and Ash is the strong handsome type. So yes, romance does weave throughout the book nicely.
I think this is a great beach or rainy day read. As with most series, I am going to read the others too because I don’t quite want to say goodbye to the characters yet. I believe this is a 5 book series.
I would recommend this book. I enjoyed it very much and will post reviews for the other books as I read them.
Happy Reading!
