The Iron Fey series by Julie Kagawa

So over the past couple months I have been slowly making my way though the Iron Fey series on my phone and I decided to just do a complete series review of it. Here are the books in order and the ratings I gave them:

The Iron King - 4 stars
The Iron Daughter - 5 stars
Winter's Passage (Novella) - 4 stars
The Iron Queen - 5 stars
Summer's Crossing (Novella) - 4 stars
The Iron Knight - 4 stars

When I first started reading The Iron King I didn't know if I was actually going to like the series. Megan, the main character, was hard for me to like in the beginning since it seemed like all she cared about was the popular jock kid at high school. This is the main reason I gave the first book only 4 stars. Until about half way through the book, I didn't like Megan. 

Once the faery stuff started happening, I started to enjoy the book more. I think the idea that Julie Kagawa came up with, with all the Iron fey was very fascinating and unique. I loved all the details of the Iron Realm. 

I flew threw the second and third books. Those are where I think most of the action is. They're also the books where Megan stands out more as a strong main character and the development of Ash and Puck's characters really comes out. 

I only gave the novella's 4 stars, because I'm not a big fan of novellas. They were interesting since they were in Ash's and Puck's POV, but they were something that could've been incorporated into the books easily enough. I feel like novellas are just another way for publishing companies to make more money...

As for the last book, The Iron Knight, I had a hard time getting into it. Reading from Ash's perspective was a little difficult and I didn't like how thing went through a lot of the book. The ending was decent enough, but I felt like it could've been a lot better.

I'm not going to go into a detailed review of these books, since I don't want to spoil anything. Overall, I would say that they are worth the read if you are interested in a story about fairies (or faeries). They have a very unique twist on them and were fast paced reads. 

For the series as a whole I give it 4.5 stars
