Book Review: The Iron King


Iron King. Book one of the Iron Fey Series

4 out of 5 stars

Insert:

Meghan Chase has a secret destiny—one she could never have imagined… 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.

Review:

At first, the book starts out slow, but as you progress further into the story, you become attached. It's hard to put it down. The Iron King is an amazing combination of romance, action, adventure, and realism brought to life by mythological references. It's the characters that truly make the story though, with each one having a distinct personality that aids in bringing a life to the novel. A genuinely strong, but sometimes weak, heroine steers this novel to where in needs to go. In just a few short days of starting this series, it has quickly made it’s way to a spot on my favourites list. This book is a must read for both fantasy and mythology fans alike.
