UPDATE UPON READING:
Love this book, my favorite of the series!!!! I feel I understand Ash and his perspective on things much better now. Ms. Kagawa has done it again!!!
Ash was much less... romanticized in this book, which makes sense and I'm glad that Ms. Kagawa did that. If he was still like the "perfect" guy, that wouldn't make logical sense. The way she built his character in this book, you saw his strengths and weaknesses and how they made him the complete person-- More...

Simply put... PURE PERFECTION!
Story telling does not get any better than this...
I am utterly struggling for the right words to adequately review the brilliance of The Iron Knight, and the series as a whole, and do it ANY justice, so please bear with me.
How could Julie Kagawa meet the excellent story telling of The Iron Queen and her previous books in her series? While, from past experience, I had no doubt she could... I was still amazed that SHE DID.. More...

I can only hope that this will put my heart at ease. After the iron queen, my heart felt shattered. I hope beyond hope that this ends up being ash and puck, their journey to find grim and hopefully mend the frayed fabric that was ash and meghan.

First, let me say that I really enjoyed the previous installments of this series; so I'm not happy to squash this one down. Maybe I'm in a bad mood lately, or maybe my standards have suddently become impossibly high, but I didn't like this novel.
Brief recap of what this story is about: to be with girl, boy has to acquire a soul. To do so, boy must pass an unspecified test. Girl has to do absolutely nothing in the meantime.
For the first 2/3 I was so bored that I wanted to More...

Julie Kagawa knows how to end a series.
It's always sad (and a bit scary) to say goodbye to a favorite series. Last books come with such emotionally-fueled expectations. And after, some authors leave you feeling wrung out and crushed, while other authors make your heart sigh with happiness and contentment. Whenever I read a last book, I'm always overwhelmed with that feeling of Please don't ruin what you've created. Well, I am ecstatic to say that in The Iron Knight, Julie Kagawa gi More...

sigh.....review to come.
The Iron Knight
Five Big Stars! This is an epic finale to an astounding series!
Ash does not break promises or retract on his oaths. Meghan after nearly dying, ordered him to leave the Iron Realm. She loved him too much to let the poisonous iron slowly kill him. For once, he will defy an order; he cannot let her go; he took an unbreakable oath to be her knight, protect her always or forfeit his life trying. He will endure More...

After reading The Iron Queen, I remember saying that I was glad seeing Meghan mature. This time, it’s Ash’s turn…

My name, my full, True Name, is Ashallyn'darkmyr Tallyn, and I am the last son of the Unseelie Court.
I was not a big fan of the first two Iron Fey books, but The Iron Queen completely stole my heart! Those of you who've read it know all about the beautiful romance, the fierce battle and the bittersweet ending that ensued. I suspect many of her fans were unhappy with the way Kagawa wrapped things up. In fact, some were probably even outraged, but not me – I loved it. That’s why I wasn’t More...

***Please note: It's been a while since finishing this book and I did not include many details in this review.
Initial thoughts after finishing the book:
Somebody get Stephenie Meyer on the phone because this is how you add onto a trilogy without completely screwing your characters over. This is how you make a semi-insta-love relationship awesome. This is how you end a love triangle. And this is how you write a freakin' book!
4 stars seems too low and I think I More...

Past actions and oaths come back to haunt Ash, former prince of the Winter Court. He swore to Meghan that he would find a way to be with her in the Iron Kingdom, and now he must. The Oath has started to fray his very being, and the longer it goes unfulfilled the more it takes away from him. His older oath to kill Puck, his one time friend, is also eating at him. It causes his darker Unseelie nature to rise until it threatens to overwhelm him.

First of all, thank you to Joan3000 for giving me this ebook! <3 You practically completed my life.
Second of all, Julie Kagawa is a god.
This series is easily my most favorite series of all time. And Ashallayn'darkmyr Tallyn is easily the best hero in all of YA fiction. Just when I thought I couldn't love him more, I read this book. I realize now that love is an understatement for what I feel about Ash.
There wasn't a single part of this book that disappointed me. More...

I finished this book the day after it came out, I was savoring it, and I apsolutly loved it! I was very worried at the end of TIQ and was very happy to find out there was a bk 4. It was very interesting to read it from Ash's POV and I'm not gonna lie some things that he did were kinda scary. I felt like this book was very very personal and I really liked exploring that different realm. There were definitly some twists and turns that I was not expecting and Kagawa made me really worried at parts

I knew there had to be a fourth book because of the Epilogue. This is probably going to be about the adventure Puck and Ash set out on (finding Grim.)
Can't wait!

From this day forth, I vow to protect Meghan Chase, daughter of the Summer King, with my sword, my honor and my life. Should even the world stand against her, my blade will be at her side. And should it fail to protect her, let my own life be forfeit.
I must say I have taken a brave attempt to write the review of The Iron Knight when I’m out of my words how to praise this book. How can I describe how much I loved this book when I’m still lost in thoughts and my hands are numb and shaking t More...

I'm feeling a mix of sad and satisfied with Iron Knight. With this last one, you can imagine my absolute frustration at having the galley stall for reasons unknown at page sixty, with my agony over having actually read Iron Knight... well, DEVOUR is what comes to mind. Because devour it, I did.
I sort of wish I had not gone through it so quickly though because now I understand how that green JFL mascot* feels whenever it wails after each episode, "It's Over!" But, I am happ More...

I have finally reached the end of this series. Finally. Let’s just say I’m just a masochist and I just had to find out how this damn things ends especially if I came this far. Hah.
The plot of this book was so predictable and dry. And that whole End of the World thing? Reminds me of the final bosses in the early Final Fantasy series. Yeah, call me not impressed. Everything seems so rehashed and overdone.
Do you remember what I said in my previous review?

This book deserves 6 stars!
See my Full Review at The Fairytale Nerd
Prince Ash is My Book Boyfriend #1! Read here why.
Puck is My Book Boyfriend #5! Read here why.
LOCATION/SETTING:
The book starts right where the e-novella Summer’s Crossing ends. Our two Fey boys are off looking for a witch who probably knows the whereabouts of Grimalkin.

Before I read the book: OOOOOH, ASH'S Story!?!?!?! :)
After I read the Book:
OH..MY..GOSH!!
I didn't think that it was possible for me to be any more in love with Ash than I already was. But then I read this book and found out that I was WRONG. I am way more in love with Ash than before. Sounds crazy, right?
It was only supposed to be a trilogy, but I am extremely happy that Julie Kagawa decided to write this book from Ash's POV, it was interesting to see things More...

Huge exhale. That was overwhelming. I'm not sure if that even covers the feeling of finishing the final installment of Ash's and Meghan's story. Oh but what an ending folks.
So as fans of the series know Ms. Kagawa actually was thinking of ending the series with The Iron Queen, which of course was unfathomable to my romantic side that is not inclined to like tragedy. Thankfully her editor convinced her otherwise. Her editor is officially on my favorite people list.

I have stars in my eyes!
No,really,I do.
This book is just perfect.
Utterly perfect!
Some would be embarrassed to say (not me obviously! :)) but I have not been so involved in a YA series since Harry Potter.
I was not a Twilight fan. I can not abide teen drama. This is what makes The Iron Fey series special. Yes,there was Wicked Lovely. But ugh! The drama! I was almost put off when it came to this book when the big <spoiler>omg you are alive</spoiler> s More...

I’m very thankful that Julie Kagawa didn’t leave us the bittersweet ending of Megan and Ash story in the 3rd book (The Iron Queen) for making this 4th . . . [drum roll] The Iron Knight!
As the final installment of Iron fey series, Ash must take an impossible journey to find his way back to Megan. Since as Winter Fey he cannot survive in the Iron Kingdom and being a human is his only choice but will it be that easy to be human or more gaining a soul? Does he understand what More...

After the cover of THE IRON KNIGHT has been realised, I need it more than ever.
Review: Oh my shining fae! I'll be writing the review as soon as the tears has passed, because right now I can hardly see what I'm writing. (later)
Everything has to come to an end sooner or later, so is this adventure which so many of us has been a great part of. Meghan, Puck, Ash and co. has never been alone during this time. So many fans have been a part of them and their actions.
