Review Detail

Meghan Chase has never been the popular girl in school, she sticks to hanging out with her best friend, Robbie. That is until her brother Ethan is stolen away to the world of fey where she must embark on an epic journey to save him. In NeverNever Meghan encounters all sorts of new creatures, discovers she's half fey and a princess, and meets the Ice Prince, Ash.

I loved this book so much it's not even funny! It had fierce characters, a spiffy cat, romance, action, and danger all wrapped up with amazing writing, Shakespearean inspiration and a promise of 2 more books to come - what more do you need?

I think I first must talk about Grimalkin, and how he is the coolest cat ever. Julie Kagawa manages to perfectly capture the spirit of a cat in Grimalkin (or at least what seems what a cat would be like to me). He had attitude, and was downright awesome. Then there was Puck and Ash. Puck was so much fun! Everything was always a joke, and things he did had me laughing so hard! Ash was more serious and cold, but the little things he did felt really heartwarming.

Now I must talk about Meghan. Major props to Julie Kagawa for making Meghan a strong and intelligent female protagonist who remains dedicated to whatever she does. She stands her ground for what she believes in, in this world where pretty much everyone's trying to sway her to their side.

The romance in The Iron King was perfect in the setting. There was none of the gooey, love scenes which sometimes don't seem real. Romance in The Iron King had sparks flying off the page. There was so much anticipation, so many almost moments. I kept thinking they'd finally kiss, and then something else would happen.

The writing was excellent. From page 1, I felt as if I had been transported to Meghan's world and was there alongside her. The setting Julie Kagawa wrote is simply magical - magical and beautiful - all while having that edgy feeling that danger is lurking around every corner.

I was basically addicted to The Iron King. I started reading, and I couldn't put it down! I had to know what would happen next. Julie Kagawa nicely ties up the major story of The Iron King, while unfolding another tale for Meghan that has readers begging to know what'll happen.

Basically, this book is awesome and everyone should read it. If you're a fan of fairy books, you will definitely want to read this one. If you've never tried fairy books before, read this. If you've read some fairy books before and weren't a fan, read this one anyways. You do not want to miss The Iron King! It is that amazing.
