There wasn’t a moment during Ash’s adventure that I was bored or able to be dragged away. Every page, ever book has just gotten better and better and Kagawa proves she can still knock our socks off with more twists and turns, and shocks and revelations than I knew what to do with in this book! Julie Kagawa has created a gem right here, with a world and characters beautiful in their own rights and magic when she put them together. In all honestly I’m saddened to see this series come to an end, but I found this book to be a very fitting end to a series that has taken me on highs and lows, through danger and adventure, shown me love and heartbreak and ultimately captured me with each and every book. Weaving together all the beauty and wonder that has made this series so captivating, The Iron Knight explores the darkest places of the Nevernever as Ash faces truths, challenges and revelations in his quest for a soul racing towards a climax that will leave you breathless! The Iron Knight marks a dramatic conclusion to Julie Kagawa’s Iron Fey series.

***Firstly, thank-you to Harlequin Teen Australia for sending me a copy to read and review** A truth that challenges his darkest beliefs and shows him that, sometimes, it takes more than courage to make the ultimate sacrifice. And along the way Ash learns something that changes everything. But the tests he must face to earn these things are impossible. To survive in the Iron Realm, Ash must have a soul and a mortal body. 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. Meghan is now the Iron Queen, ruler of a realm where no Winter or Summer fey can survive. And when all of Faery nearly fell to the Iron fey, she severed their bond to save his life. 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.

His own love had died a horrible death, killing any gentler feelings the Winter prince might have had. To cold faery prince Ash, love was a weakness for mortals and fools. My fall began, as many stories do, with a girl… I am the last remaining son of Mab, Queen of the Unseelie Court. My name - my True Name - is Ashallayn’ darkmyr Tallyn.
