The Iron Queen (The Iron Fey, #3)
by Julie Kagawa (Goodreads Author)

Jaime (Two Chicks on Books)'s review

Jan 03, 11

5 of 5 stars

Read from November 22 to 25, 2010

Just when I thought The Iron Fey series could not possibly get any better The Iron Queen comes along and proves me wrong. Julie Kagawa has written another brilliantly woven tale full of romance, adventure, and danger. It is so well written that I felt like I was there and could see, hear, smell, and taste everything.

Meghan Chase's relationship with Ash is one of the best written love stories. I felt everything they felt I cried when they cried. Ash has become to me what most Twilighters think of Edward Cullen. Puck also is amazing in this book he proves what a true friend and companion is as well as Grimalkin I believe he actually is starting to care for the Human. Julie aslo brings in many new characters that keep the story going towards the future I won't mention names as to not spoil the book. Be prepared to have a box of tissues on hand for the end of this one. The last chapter and epilogue made me cry and left me very red-eyed.

If you love stories about fairys then The Iron Fey is a must read. Julie Kagawa has quickly become one of my favorite authors!

Thanks to @NetGalley for the ARC!

“If I'd thought I would regret it," he said calmly, "I never would have made that oath. I knew what becoming a knight would mean. And if you asked me again, the answer would still be the same." He sighed, framing my face with his hands. "My life... everything I am... belongs to you.”

“My name is Ashallyn'darkmyr Tallyn, third son of the Unseelie Court...Let it be known--from this day forth, I vow to protect Meghan Chase, daughter of the Summer King, with my sword, my honor, and my life. Her desires are mine. Her wishes are mine. Should even the world stand against her, my blade will be at her side. And should it fail to protect her, let my own existence be forfeit. This I swear, on my honor, my True Name, and my life. From this day on..." His voice went even softer, but I still heard it as though he whispered it into my ear. "I am yours.”

“Looks like nobody’s home,” Puck said, turning in a slow circle. “Hellooooooooo? Anybody here?”

“Be quiet, Goodfellow,” Ash growled, peering into the shadows with narrowed eyes. “We’re not alone.”

“Yeah? How do you figure that, prince? I don’t see anyone.”

“The cait sith has disappeared.”

“ … Crap.”
