The Lost Prince (The Iron Fey: Call of the Forgotten #1)

Review also posted at my blog: http://perrytheplatypus1102-3daydreamer3.blogspot.com/2012/08/book-review-lost-prince-by-julie-kagawa.html


Another masterpiece by the author of the blockbuster The Iron Fey series.Why am I even surprised?To be honest,this book went way beyond my expectations,and that's saying something.After City of Lost Souls,I have taught myself to lower my expectations when reading a sequel,so that the disappointment hurts less.But I just couldn't stop myself from getting all excited to read this.So when Harlequin approved my request for this book via Netgalley,I instantly dumped all my other review copies for this one.I guess I owe a HUGE apology to them,since I've been neglecting some of the books for quite a long time.But I just couldn't help it! >.<

I finished this whole book in one sitting.When I was done,it was almost 3 A.M at dawn.Though the ending was not a cliffhanger,it left a lot of questions unanswered and those questions are still clawing at my brain.It was fun to see the new characters along with the old ones,almost like a family reunion I guess.The adventure was absolutely thrilling,like a roller-coaster ride,with its ups and downs.There are so many things I want to mention in this review but just revealing even a teensy-weensy bit from the book may be counted as a spoiler.But just for the brush-up of things,you may wanna re-read The Iron Knight really carefully before starting this one.Sometimes,the smallest parts can be of the utmost importance.But if you are a sucker for The Iron Fey series,then be prepared for an equally (or even more) fascinating sequel. ^^

The author has a magical way with words because from start to finish I was hooked to this book. I found it easy to care about Ethan I already knew him from the iron fey series but back then he was a fun loving happy kids that loved his sister more than anything, now his lonely and tormented. The fey seem hell bent on taking everything away and hurting him whenever they can. I loved that you really got to know Ethan and understand why he is the way he is.

The storyline in this book was brilliant and to a high standard that I have come to love from this author. There was a great blend of heart pounding action and adventure that had me glued to my seat. There was such imagination put into each character and every new place that you can see everything unfold before your eyes. I laughed, cried and was shocked at times and i loved every single page and i did not want the story to every end.

This book was a joy ride for the imagination, heart stopping action that never stopped and a story that linger well after you had finished the book
