Winters Passage Review

Winter's PassageMeghan Chase used to be an ordinary girl...until she discovered that she is really a faery princess. After escaping from the clutches of the deadly Iron fey, Meghan must follow through on her promise to return to the equally dangerous Winter Court with her forbidden love, Prince Ash. But first, Meghan has one request: that they visit Puck-Meghan's best friend and servant of her father, King Oberon-who was gravely injured defending Meghan from the Iron Fey.
Yet Meghan and Ash's detour does not go unnoticed. They have caught the attention of an ancient, powerful hunter-a foe that even Ash may not be able to defeat....

*Spoilers for those who haven't read the Iron King*
Wow. I know this was a novella but still. Wow. This was an amazing read. Short but action packed. There were a few moments where it was just laying low, waiting but even those bits weren't boring. The action starts literally right away and this novella starts where The Iron King ends. Literally. Seriously, Meghan Chase is walking out of her door when The Iron King ends and Winters Passage starts with her going down her driveway to where Prince Ash is. Anyway, on with the review.
I loved this book. I loved it with a fiery passion. When I got it from the generous people at NetGalley, I read it straight away and finished it 15 minuets later. And do you know what I did? I read it again! *sarcastic wow* No but seriously this was the type of novella where even though it's only a few pages, you just want to read it over, and over again and memorize every single word. 
Mrs Kagawa delivered once again, a beautiful story that follows Prince Ash and Meghan Chase through the Wyld Wood, the mortal realm and Tir Na Nog. On their way, they have a little trouble with an ancient hunter who thinks that Meghan has been captured by Ash. He follows them throughout the Wyld Wood. When Meghan and Ash cross into Winters' territory, they finally come face to face, where they finally find out what the ancient hunters' real motives are. Well in the end, after a pretty cool fight scene, everything gets resolved and Meghan ends up meeting the pretty awesome but also pretty freaky Winter Queen, Mab. 
I've read all the books in the series apart from the last book, The Iron Knight, which is coming out on the 25th October 2011. So this review is a tad late *cough cough* and it's my first so be nice.
Anyway I really look forward to reading The Iron Knight soon and hopefully I'll be able to post a review of that book. I love this series and hope that Julie Kagawas' new series will be as good, maybe even better, than The Iron Fey Series.
