The Iron King
by Julie Kagawa
For the first book that I read that was legitimately about all fae, I have to say that this book is a well good introduction to the fae genre.
*Whiny person in the back* But what about A Midsummer Night's Dream?? *Grabs a leaf blower and blows said whiny person into the next country* Well, yes, there is that, my most favorite of Shakespeare plays, but I guess what I mean is my first YA novel about fae. For a few years now I've been going on a trend of reading supernatural fiction. First it was werewolves, then dragons, then vampires, then back to werewolves and now I seem to be fixated on fae. And this book didn't exactly disappoint.
Pros:
-The concept of the Iron Fey: I really think this is an interesting take on the fae legends. As society has adapted to a new, more technological environment, many people start to forget about our roots in nature and so forth. We start to expand our interest in the mechanical world and keep progressing and expanding. The idea that the Fae world is slowly being taken over by technology makes sense and it seems like a very creative approach. Well done.
-Puck: Honestly, when I first saw the name Robbie Goodfell, I thought to myself "Yeeaahhh, this is totally Puck and if it isn't I'm going to go on a rampage that even Leatherface would disapprove of. Heh heh. Right. But, lo and behold, I was correct. I love everything about Puck, the fact that he's just so impish and so comic relief makes me so chipper. I always love a trickster, so it's easy to see why he would be on the pros side.
Well, running short on time so I might just update this as soon as I can. Or if anyone even reads it. Ciao.
