The Iron Queen by Julie Kagawa (reviewed by Xian Eutsler)

The Iron Queen by Julia Kagawa, is about a soon to be seventeen Meghan Chase, an exiled winter prince, a comical fey, a war against the Iron Fey, and her return to the Nevernever.

When sixteen year old Meghan Chase is summoned by her fey father Oberon to come and help fight the war against the Iron fey, she doesn’t have a choice. Along with the winter prince, a childhood friend and a cait sith must fight a war with the Iron fey. A war that could destroy the Nevernever, and everyone Meghan cares about.

I couldn’t put this book down! I read the previous books, The Iron King and The Iron Daughter. Now there is The Iron Queen!

This book has suspense, mystery, romance, action, and adventure. All the characteristics that make the series exciting! There are riddles and the mysteries characters, secrets and sacrifices. This book is one of my favorites, it’s something I’ll read over and over again.

There is nothing that I didn’t like in this book. All the elements that make a book exciting are here. This kind of book combines the nature of the Fey, with modern time alternate universe aspect. It is a world that could be very real...it’s there, we just don’t see it.

Since Xian was such a huge fan of this series and she writes such great reviews for us and she tells EVERYONE to read Julie Kagawa's Iron Fey series, I contacted the publisher to see if they could send us a review copy. A BIG THANKS to HarlequinTeen for sending a review copy for our teen ARC reviewers to take a look at! YAY!! ^___^

Xian reviewed an ADVANCE READER'S COPY (ARC) of this book, meaning she got a chance to read it before it was published and then she had a chance to let the library know if it she thought we should purchase it for our shelves or not. Do YOU want a chance to read and review books before they're published? Do YOU think you could give your opinion on if the library/other people should buy these books? If so, you can ask at youth services or send us an e-mail for more information on how you can get a chance to be an ARC reviewer.
