Iron King by Julie Kagawa

Iron King (Iron Fey, #1)

by Julie Kagawa

Enter a fantastical world of dangerous faeries, wicked princes and one half-human girl who discovers her entire life is a lie.

Something has always felt slightly off in Meghan's life, ever since her father disappeared when she was six. Ten years later, when her little brother also goes missing, Meghan learns the truth--she is the secret daughter of a mythical faery king and a pawn in a deadly war. Now Meghan will learn just how far she'll go to save someone she loves, to stop a mysterious evil no faery creature dare face...and to find love with a young prince who might rather see her dead than let her touch his icy heart.

I didn't love this book all that much. It was kind of a disappointment. It sounded so interesting and the series is so popular that I had to give it a go, and then I finally got the first one.

I didn't love it when I had finished it and it took me about a week or so to figure out what it actually was, I just felt as though it was missing something. I just didn't fall in love with the characters. That caring and worrying about what was going to happen to them was absent for me. I am quite sure why. I had been deciding whether or not to continue the series and see where it goes for a while. I just got the e-books for the next two on my kindle, so I am going to read them and see how I go. Hopefully I start liking it because I absolutely adore books are faeries.
