"To cold, emotionless faery prince Ash, love was a weakness for mortals and fools. His own love had died a horrible death, killing any gentler feelings the Winter prince might have had. Or so he thought.
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. And when all of Faery nearly fell to the Iron fey, she severed their bond to save his life. Meghan is now the Iron Queen, ruler of a realm where no Winter or Summer fey can survive. 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 solemn vow to stand by Meghan’s side. To survive in the Iron realm, Ash must have a soul and a mortal body. But the tests he must face to earn these things are impossible. At least, no one has ever passed to tell the tale. And then Ash learns something that changes everything. A truth that turns reality upside down, challenges his darkest beliefs and shows him that, sometimes, it takes more than courage to make the ultimate sacrifice."
This was a book, that after reading "The Iron Queen, " I couldn't wait to get in my grasp. When I realized that it was released by NetGalley I requested it and I waited, for what seemed like MONTHS, to be approved. When I was, I started reading and I finished a day later. If you enjoyed the first three books, this fourth won't disappoint.
I was skeptical at first about the change in narration, but after reading "Summer's Crossing, " I concluded that there are no worries when Julie Kagawa is around! I never really fell in love with Meghan, so the narration switch wasn't that important to me. I did fall in love with the world and (of course) the boys — and that hasn't changed.
Overall, another fantastic installation into the Iron Fey series that I highly recommend. I'd still say that "The Iron Queen" is my overall favorite book — but "The Iron Knight" did not disappoint!
