“I could see my reflection in her gaze, the horns jutting out of my hair, the slightly feral look that seemed normal for me now. My heartbeat picked up, and my mouth went dry as this deadly, confident, beautiful assassin held my gaze without fear.”
I initially rated this 3 stars, but the more I thought about it, the angrier I got, so buckle in your seatbelts.

At this point, authors are just taking advantage of our nostalgia. But you know what? I'm ok with that. I have been waiting for my main-man Puck, AKA: Robin Goodfellow, AKA: one-of-my-favorite-characters-of-all-time-and-forever, to get his book, and after a whole decade of waiting, he finally did.
That said, after I read it, I up the book down, stared into the emptiness and had no idea what I even thought about it. I've been postponing my review for days because I don't know what to say.

"A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...

3 stars for the actual story and that extra star is for all the Ash scenes I was blessed with🥺

**4.5-stars**
The Iron Raven is the first installment of a new trilogy set in the world of Julie Kagawa's, Iron Fey series.
There have been seven previous full-length novels, as well as a handful of novellas, in this series. This is the first to feature Robin Goodfellow, aka Puck, as the narrator.

I must confess, I have never read any of the Iron Fey novels. In spite of that, I still had a ton of fun reading this story and loved all of the characters. Kagawa did an incredible job making this access ...more

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.My opinion of this brand-new series will differ vastly from the many fans of the Iron Fey world. As you know based on my review of Shadow’s Legacy, I am an Iron Fey newbie so I am looking at this world through a fresh pair of eyes and by golly I had a wonderful experience.

I’m not a big fan of Kagawa (too cheesy and juvenile) but I’m desperate for more Faeries and I hope she’s improved since the 2010’s!!

OMFG its Puck's story!!!! You don't even know how fucking excited I am!!! The Iron Fey stories were basically some of my favorite books when I was a teenager. I loved these characters and I loved Puck the most and I cannot tell you how happy I am that he's finally getting his HEA!!! *pterodactyl screaming*

The nostalgia was strong with this one. As I'm sure many readers will be able to relate to, I read the og Iron Fey books yearrrssss ago and I loved them.

I was pretty excited for Puck finally getting his time in the spotlight but I had yet to read the trilogy between the two with Ethan and Keirran so I quickly tried to fit those in before starting this one. I'm glad I did as it filled in many gaps. Kagawa does a fine job breifly recapping so you won't be lost if you haven't read them but the expe ...more

"I felt a tiny prick of gleeful satisfaction. There was so much I hadn't done in many, many years; maybe it was time to remind everyone, Iron Fey included, why Robin Goodfellow was a faery you did not want to cross."
Julie Kagawa has done it AGAIN.

I am so giddy, because The Iron Raven was just perfection. We get to go back to the world of the Iron Fey, meet up with all of our favorite characters, explore some old hurts, meet new interesting characters, and FURTHER explore this magical world. ...more

So... (looks at the date) 2021, eh?
Update 11.09.2020:
WE HAVE COVER AND TITLE AND OMG?
I read the original trilogy when I was 12-ish in 2011!!! I LOVED ASH SO MUCH!!!!!!
So, now I will be reading The Iron Fey again because nostalgia is a bitch. Also, I never read Ethan's books (IT'S AMAZING THAT I REMEMBER THE NAMES, YOU GUYS!) and maybe I will give it a try, but as a rule, I hate spin-offs.
2012 is making its comeback, I'm excited. ...more

Soooo much and so little to say. Puck gets his own story. I find find very repetitive and juvenile. I adore Kieran and the assassin. The book does end on a cliffhanger but I do think I’ll continue. I read the first book of the iron fey and it was okay but again I didn’t continue.

dnfing for two reasons:
1. haven't read the iron fey series
2. really not liking puck or his first person perspective ...more

The Iron Raven was an enjoyable fantasy adventure tale. I came to this book without having finished the Iron Fey series (I only read book one). In some ways that wasn't an issue. The promo for this book says it can be read as a standalone series, and I certainly had no trouble following the story. However, I did remember some of the characters, and there were frequent references to events in the past. Enough was explained that you didn't need further knowledge of them, but I do think that having

I haven't read the Iron Fey series so I was kind of confused at the beginning of the book but I have to say that the author explains everything you need to know and I found it easy to understand. I do think that you need to read the other books to feel more attached to some characters, but either way I enjoyed all of them.
