The Iron Ghost by Jen Williams
4.0

This series is such a great high fantasy series. I loved returning to Sir Sebastian, Wydrin and Lord Frith. They are so much fun with a great chemistry between them all not to mention that each character has a real depth to them (though I'd love to find out more about Wydrin's past). The Iron Ghost brought us into different lands than The Copper Promise. The first book was very much set in a part of the world that was highly populated and a warmer, more forestry environment and climate.. The Iron Ghost was definitely colder. Snow and ice and more mountains with hidden spirits inside of them. I thought the exploration and world building was excellent and I loved finding out more about the Skalds and the Narhls (I found the Narhls particularly interesting - they were like white walkers but like, not the walking undead and mostly nice ).

I took away a star because it just dragged a little bit for me in the middle though by the end I was completely hooked. And I can't wait to see what the Black Feathered Three get up to next! I'm predicting the jungle of Onwai as it was mentioned on three different occasions during The Iron Ghost and my interest is peaked! I definitely recommend this series for fantasy lovers looking for a new adventure!
