I laughed, I cried (more like balled my eyes out and sobbing) and it made me really excited to see where the spin-off series was going. I was really worried about this book because I find when author’s write something because fans want it, the result is a mediocre fan-fiction effort (I’m looking at you Breaking Dawn). When I read this series, it was only a trilogy but the fourth book, The Iron Knightwas on its way due to fan demand (and when you read the third book you will understand why). Sure I could put the dots together but it wasn’t until I got the clues that I had an inkling about what was going to happen.Įach book built upon the last and reading the novellas is extremely helpful in bridging the gaps between the books–so I recommend that you do follow the reading order you see on Goodreads. That was another thing I loved about this series.

Her complex to save the world (aka Lead-Heroine Sacrifice Syndrome) didn’t piss me off, it just made me really sad at times because I really didn’t know how everything would end up. She is just so strong and independent that I never got annoyed with her–even when a love triangle comes about (but let’s be real, we always knew who she was going to pick). It was such a pleasure reading about the world Meghan and company are in.Īnd Meghan is probably one of my top favourite heroines ever. Not only does she blend in the faerie world with the human world but she manages to add everyday fairy tales and other aspects that just give this world so much depth. Kawaga creates a world that is so unique yet easy to follow that it’s extremely easy to get immersed in it.

But one thing I find with these faeries novels is that each series has a different spin–and this one is no exception. While some didn’t do much for me, I do have a few that are within my top series picks so I do have a pretty hefty set of standards when it comes to faerie novels. This was one of the first series I read in an eBook format–and truth be told I wanted to read this series so bad that I started to read eBooks just so I could read it! So I strained my eyes on my tiny iPhone screen reading the first two books of the series and then read the rest on my best gift ever: my Kobo.īy the time I picked up The Iron KingI had read a considerable amount of faerie novels.
