Book Review: The Iron King by Julie Kagawa

Title: The Iron King
Author: Julie Kagawa
Genre: Ya Paranormal
Format: Paperback 368 pages
My rating: 5/5
Synopsis:

Meghan Chase has never fit in at her small-town high school, and now, on the eve of her 16th birthday, she discovers why. When her half brother is kidnapped, Meghan is drawn into a fantastical world she never imagined–the world of Faery, where anything you see may try to eat you, and Meghan is the daughter of the summer faery king. Now she will journey into the depths of Faery to face an unknown enemy . . . and beg the help of a winter prince who might as soon kill her as let her touch his
icy heart. The Iron King is the first book in the Iron Fey series.
Now, before I start this review let me just say how awesome this series is! I have read all the way up to The Iron Queen and read all the e-novellas in between. I did a review on Winters Passage which takes place between The Iron King and The Iron Daughter. I am impatiently waiting for the next and last book in the series, The Iron Knight. And now, on with the review.

My thoughts: Mrs Kagawa has managed to make a beautifully written story that captures its audience from the first word. And I mean that literally. "Ten years ago, on my sixth birthday, my father disappeared." I mean who wouldn't be drawn in by that sentence? It was a compelling, adventure-filled ride. The ending will seriously make you tear your hair out for the next book. At least, that's what I did because I had to wait FLIPPING AGES for the next book. But I'm sure that if you're new to this series, you won't have to wait like I did and I can guarantee you will love this series as much as I do!

Favourite Lines: "Tomorrows your birthday isn't it? Floppy told me, and I remembered."
"Has anyone told you, you have the maturity level of a four-year old?"


Read and enjoy!

Cya!
