The Iron Traitor by Julie Kagawa

Series: Iron Fey: Call of the Forgotten #2
Published: October 23rd 2013

Goodreads Summary: In the real world, when you vanish into thin air for a week, people tend to notice.

After his unexpected journey into the lands of the fey, Ethan Chase just wants to get back to normal. Well, as "normal" as you can be when you see faeries every day of your life. Suddenly the former loner with the bad reputation has someone to try for-his girlfriend, Kenzie. Never mind that he's forbidden to see her again.

But when your name is Ethan Chase and your sister is one of the most powerful faeries in the Nevernever, "normal" simply isn't to be. For Ethan's nephew, Keirran, is missing, and may be on the verge of doing something unthinkable in the name of saving his own love. Something that will fracture the human and faery worlds forever, and give rise to the dangerous fey known as the Forgotten. As Ethan's and Keirran's fates entwine and Keirran slips further into darkness, Ethan's next choice may decide the fate of them all.

My Rating: 5/5 stars

My Review: There are no words to explain how awesome Julie's writing is. She could be writing about killing your mom and you'd still think it was pure genius!

In the second book of the Call of the Forgotten series, we begin right after the ending of the last book. All Ethan wants to do is try to win the approval of Kenzie's father, take her out on a normal date, and just try to get away from the Nevernever and the Fey. But when Meghan shows up at his house, claiming that Kierran has ran away and no one has seen him. Well lets just say, things don't stay normal for long in Ethan's world.

I am so amazed by Julie's writing. I've loved her since I read the Iron King, but this time, she really took it to a whole new level. Having said that, this book was so amazing. It is just as good as all the other books that have come before it. I don't want to give too much away, because I really don't want to ruin the amazing cliff-hanger ending..
I really love Ethan and Kinzie's relationship, after reading books like Insurgent by Veronica Roth, where the characters in a relationship always fight, bicker, and go behind each others backs. Their relationship just seems perfect, obviously they fight and stuff but they're just more normal.
I honestly can't tell you how much I loved this book. I definitely screamed a few times (in both happiness, anger and surprise) and I may have cried a little at the ending. But it was all so worth it.

Happy Reading!

1) "Right. This was the whole boyfriend thing. Picking her up, taking her to dinner. Normal going-out stuff. So why was I suddenly terrified?"

2) "I felt a small, vindictive pleasure knowing that I'd kicked his ass yesterday and gotten away with it, but it was never a good idea to tempt fate."

The Lost Prince by Julie Kagawa

Book One in Iron Fey: Call of the Forgotten Series
Published on October 23rd 2012

Goodreads Review : Don’t look at Them. Never let Them know you can see Them.

That is Ethan Chase’s unbreakable rule. Until the fey he avoids at all costs—including his reputation—begin to disappear, and Ethan is attacked. Now he must change the rules to protect his family. To save a girl he never thought he’d dare to fall for.

Ethan thought he had protected himself from his older sister’s world—the land of Faery. His previous time in the Iron Realm left him with nothing but fear and disgust for the world Meghan Chase has made her home, a land of myth and talking cats, of magic and seductive enemies. But when destiny comes for Ethan, there is no escape from a danger long, long forgotten

My Rating : 5/5 stars

My Review : Since when did Megan's little brother become a super hot bad boy? I loved seeing the old characters from the previous series, I almost teared up because I missed them. Also Ethan is a pretty awesome main character, he's pretty much like Megan, but in a hot bad ass version. He is just as determined as her, especially when his friend is missing. He goes on a quest to search for his friend, and to protect his family.

I loved every part of this book. AMAZING.

The Iron Knight by Julie Kagawa

Book Four in Iron Fey Series

Goodreads Review : To cold faery prince Ash, love was a weakness for mortals and fools. His own love had died a horrible death, killing any gentler feelings the Winter prince might have had. Or so he thought.

Then Meghan Chase, a half human, half fey slip of a girl, smashed through his barricades, binding him to her irrevocably with his oath to be her knight. And when all of Faery nearly fell to the Iron fey, she severed their bond to save his life. Meghan is now the Iron Queen, ruler of a realm where no Winter or Summer fey can survive.

With the unwelcome company of his archrival, Summer Court prankster Puck, and the infuriating cait sith Grimalkin, Ash begins a journey he is bound to see through to its end, a quest to find a way to honor his vow to stand by Meghan's side.

To survive in the Iron Realm, Ash must have a soul and a mortal body. But the tests he must face to earn these things are impossible. And along the way Ash learns something that changes everything. A truth that challenges his darkest beliefs and shows him that, sometimes, it takes more than courage to make the ultimate sacrifice.

My Rating : 5/5 stars.

My Review : The last book in the Iron Fey series. And its written in Ash's point of view. This book is perfection on pages. No words can describe how beautiful this book is. From beginning to end I was captivated by Ash and how he expresses his love for Meghan, you can just tell he would do anything to be with her, no mater what the cost is. And when the biggest obstacle of all stands right in front of him, the reason for his life being miserable, he still knows to do the right thing. There is no character better than Ash.

And wherever Ash goes, Puck is there to help. He is such an amazing character, hes so funny, and you can tell how devoted and loving he is. If i knew him in real life, I'd totally marry him on the spot.
This book was filled with so much adventure, there wasn't a chapter that was boring. Such a great read.
Heaven, in words.

The Iron Daughter by Julie Kagawa

Book Two in Iron Fey Series

Goodreads Review : Half Summer faery princess, half human, Meghan has never fit in anywhere. Deserted by the Winter prince she thought loved her, she is prisoner to the Winter faery queen. As war looms between Summer and Winter, Meghan knows that the real danger comes from the Iron fey—ironbound faeries that only she and her absent prince have seen. But no one believes her.

Worse, Meghan's own fey powers have been cut off. She's stuck in Faery with only her wits for help. Trusting anyone would be foolish. Trusting a seeming traitor could be deadly. But even as she grows a backbone of iron, Meghan can't help but hear the whispers of longing in her all-too-human heart.

My Rating : 5/5 stars.

My Review : The sequel to Julie Kagawa's Iron Daughter. This book definitely did not disappoint.

We left off with Meghan saving her brother, which led her to be taken as prisoner in the Winter Court. She was betrayed by the man she started to like, talk about getting your heart crushed. Not to mention, no one will believe her about the Iron Fey, and about the real danger that haunts the Nevernever. 

I have fallen in love with these books, and the world that they're in. The amount of detail the author has put in the writing is really incredible. It makes the words come off the page and it just makes it so easy to see it clearly in your head. I love the chemistry that the characters have together, you can tell just how they feel, yet there's a certain mystery to it. This book definitely had some heart breaking, and loving moments. Can't wait to read the next one.

The Iron King by Julie Kagawa

Book One in the Iron Fey Series 

Goodreads Review : 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.

My Rating : 5/5 stars.

My Review : Meghan Chase is a normal girl. Ignored by her classmates. Ignored by her parents. The only person who really pays attention to her is her best friend Robbie. Meghan's life is pretty normal, until the day she sees a stranger watching her from a far. When she finds out her brother was taken into a mythical fairy world called the Nevernever. Desperate to find her brother, she travels with her best friend Robbie, who reveals himself to be Robin Goodfellow, also known as Puck from Shakespeare's A Mid Summer Nights Dream.

This strange new world is filled with magical creatures, strange talking cats, kings, queens, and odd fey. The adventure never ends.

This world is so beautifully written. Every description just paints a vivid picture. And the relationships between the characters are just great. I love Meghan as a character, coming into a strange world, she is scared, but quickly learns to adapt and how to deal with the tricky fey and dangerous creatures. She is smart, beautiful and charming. And lets not forget the two male characters. Puck is so protective and loving, how could you not love a guy who can make you laugh and protect you from danger at the same time. And then there's Ash. Hes the Winter Prince, strong, handsome, and intelligent. I have loved him right from the start.
This was just the perfect book, it had the perfect amount of action, love, and magic.
Beautifully written.
