When we were young, we usually ask our parents to tell stories that will delight our evening. It was like a new life, a new day for a kid and everlasting days of sweet dreams. When we are older, we want to tell stories to the younger one and sometimes we felt behind from the stories that had been told. A lot of books lately had been published to create different perspective of the old fairy tales that our parents told us every night and sometimes they recreate a new story that will warm readers

I can't believe this book was free! I totally would've paid for it. THANK YOU!!!! This will satiate my nagging impatience for Iron Daughter. The only thing that would make me happier is moving the release of book 2 to about 2 weeks from today (hint, nudge, wink). Follow the link for happiness.

Once I was finished with The Iron King I was stumped because I wanted to read the second book soon after, but I was (and still am) on hold for The Iron Daughter and needed something to satisfy my need to know what happens, so I downloaded this from this from the author's site for free. Score for me!

Note: I changed my rating to 5 stars for Winter's Passage because upon reading it again (and again), I've come to fully appreciate that it really is an excellent bridge between the fabulous Iron King and awesome Iron Daughter, both of which I absolutely adored.
I LOVED that this little story was about Meghan & Prince Ash's journey to the Unseelie Court... not only the physical journey but also their romantic/emotional journey.

Winter's Passage is the interim novella that follows the ending of the first Iron Fey book, The Iron King, to connect it to the story to come in the second book, The Iron Daughter -- and it follows Meghan Chase's journey with the Winter Prince Ash to the land of Tir Na Nog, where the dreaded Queen Mab awaits. . .
This novella, clocking in at only 52 pages, was a nice way to jump back into the Iron Fey world, and I was still very much impressed by Julie Kagawa's faery world. Her fey a More...

For those of you who've been hiding under a rock, Winter's Passage is an Iron Fey novella that takes place between The Iron King and The Iron Daughter. It's a really short read, but it's definitely worth your time. Winter's Passage contains everything I loved about The Iron King and The Iron Daughter, except its length. Since I've read everything Julie Kagawa has written so far, I'm just going to have to writhe in agony until Book 3 (The Iron Queen) is released. And that's going to be awhile...

Winter's passage is a very short transition short story between The Iron King and The Iron's Daughter. At just 50 pages I can honestly say that I didn't expect a lot of this. Although, I found it was not a direct shot of delivering Megan to the Winter court, and included added emotion to the ongoing struggle for the Winter Son and Summer Daughters love. I am even more eager to get my hands on the next book. This series promises success.

An amazing treat from Julie Kagawa, Winter's Passage has everything that I love from The Iron King plus more. I love the way that Julie created her faerie mythology in The Iron King and we see another addition to it in Winter's Passage as she introduces The Hunter which is a very old mythical creature and one of my favorites.

I think it's so awesome that this novella was released, not to mention for free! Such a great way to revisit the world. I knew I had to read it immediately! What is there to say...lots happened but of course it leaves you wanting more. Now I really, really can't wait for The Iron Daughter to come out!
Oh, and another beautiful cover. I too wish this was a physical book to add to my collection!

This was a little novella in between books 1 and 2 of this series and I really enjoyed it. It takes place straight after The Iron King finished and Meghan has to go with Ash to the Winter Fae's palace. He's not the only one who is determined to deliver her to the Winter Queen and together they have to race ahead without being captured.

Meghan annoyed me a bit because as she's being dragged around the human and fae worlds, she rarely asked questions. This was something that bothered me in the first book but if you're constantly being chased and running for your life wouldn't you stop, even for a few seconds, to find out what the hell is going on?

What a wonderful surprise to have discovered A Winter's Passage. This e-book is an Iron Fey novella that takes place between The Iron King and The Iron Daughter.
First off, I really love Kagawa's take on traditional fey mythology. Her world is refreshingly frightening and so easy to get sucked into. I say this because I used to think of my faeries as happy little pixies who reside on the outer suburbs of Disney and whose names rhyme with Dinker Bell.

Again, Kagawa creates a riveting story as Ash and Meghan attempt to outrun a powerful hunter while on their way back to Tir Na Nog in order to fulfill Meghan’s promise to Ash. It was quite captivating, and at times I could feel my heart rate accelerating. My only complaint is that the novella rehashes too much of the first novel, recapping information any reader of the series would already know and, though I may be mistaken, I actually think there is a passage from this novella that is also wo

I do think Meghan has already held her end of the bargain when she slew the Iron King, and thus saved Ash and the whole of Nevernever in the first book. But, I don’t think that’s how faery contracts work—lest, there’d be no more story to tell, right? Not that this novella told much anyway.

I didn't realize that Winter's Passage existed until I went to pick up Summer's Crossing.... only to realize I had missed one. And I had meant to read them all in order, sigh. So I picked it up and read through it quickly anyways.
Since I've been reading through the series so quickly, I had a hard time remember which events occurred in which books. But Winter's Passage seemed to have a few flaws in my opinion. There were just a couple things that happened that didn't make any sense. More...

Meh. I have the buyers remorse. Not that it wasn't good, but it's only 50-some pages and I don't know that anything critical to the overall story happens. (There is a lot of re-capping what happened in book #1 in this little novella.) You probably could go without reading this one and skip straight to The Iron Daughter. The first chapter of Iron Daughter even covers what happens in this book, going over the romantic scene word for word.

Winter’s Passage picks up exactly where The Iron King left off, with the handsome and darkly charming Prince Ash escorting the Half-Summer Princess Meghan Chase through the realm of the Nevernever and into the lair of Queen Mab, the Unseelie Court. However, before they begin their journey back to the freakingly cold winter-world, Meghan forces Prince Ash to do one last thing, namely pay a visit to her best friend, Puck (aka Robin Goodfellow) who got seriously injured during their previous fight

I love novellas. They tend to be a delightful extension to a larger story. WINTER’S PASSAGE by Julie Kagawa (2010) is a 65 page novella (E-book only) extending the story. I had just finished THE IRON KING and found out that there is a novella that takes place before the next book. So I Googled it and found it for free. (Awesome!) (Sorry, Amazon doesn't sell this one!
