Week 18 Reviews: Shadow's Legacy, The Iron Raven, The Iron Sword, The Iron Vow




From Goodreads:
A new novella set in the world of the New York Times bestselling Iron Fey series! This magical short story is the prelude to a new trilogy in Julie Kagawa's brilliant faery world, The Iron Fey: Evenfall.

A royal wedding, a mysterious assassin, a new threat to all of Faery...

Friends and family gather to celebrate the wedding of the Iron Queen Meghan Chase's brother...but one wedding guest feels more melancholic than the rest. The King of the Forgotten can't forget his own lost love and slips away from the festivities...only to be attacked by a strange faery who calls him a fraud and a false king. Now the two must form a wary alliance to track a strange new threat, a creature of rage and hatred that threatens the newfound peace of Faery, in the opening to a grand new adventure in the enthralling world of the Iron Fey.

You may have heard of me...

Robin Goodfellow. Puck. Prankster, joker, raven, fool… King Oberon’s right-hand jester from A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The legends are many, but the truth will now be known as never before, as Puck finally tells his own story and faces a threat to the lands of Faery and the human world unlike any before.

With the Iron Queen Meghan Chase and her prince consort, Puck’s longtime rival Ash, and allies old and new by his side, Puck begins a fantastical and dangerous adventure not to be missed or forgotten.

As Evenfall nears, the stakes grow ever higher for those in Faery…

Banished from the Winter Court for daring to fall in love, Prince Ash achieved the impossible and journeyed to the End of the World to earn a soul and keep his vow to always stand beside Queen Meghan of the Iron Fey.

Now he faces even more incomprehensible odds. Their son, King Keirran of the Forgotten, is missing. Something more ancient than the courts of Faery and more evil than anything Ash has faced in a millennium is rising as Evenfall approaches. And if Ash and his allies cannot stop it, the chaos that has begun to divide the world will shatter it for eternity.

The extraordinary finale to Julie Kagawa's New York Times and internationally bestselling Iron Fey series is here…and the fate of the Nevernever and all the world hangs in the balance. Join Meghan, Ash, Puck, Grimalkin, and the entire Iron Fey cast for this final epic journey into worlds where imagination knows no boundaries…

After leaping through the portal to Evenfall, Meghan and her companions find themselves in a terrifying new world where Nightmares roam and glamour is nearly nonexistent. As their magic wanes and the creatures of Evenfall rise against them, the race to find the Nightmare King grows ever more desperate. But what they discover—about Evenfall, about the Nightmare King, about themselves—will shake everything they thought they knew to the core. 

The Nightmare King stirs. A world hangs in the balance. And as twilight descends upon all the realms of Faery, Meghan and her allies must make one more impossible choice.

My Review:
I had such a fantastic time reading these books! This world has been going on for so long, with other series being in between, and this series feels like a nice closing of a chapter, since all three characters from the beginning, Puck, Ash, and Meghan, narrate a book in this series, and I love that!

It was really interesting to be in Puck's head, to have a book focused on him. We really got to learn of his past, of why he is like he is. And I'm really glad that we got his story, the introduction to this threat, and a new character for him to find happiness with! 

Evenfall is such an interesting threat, because throughout this series, we've explored a lot of the world. To have to re-examine the history, that there were things that they had no idea about, to have this whole hidden part? Yeah, that was a big shocker! 

I just loved how things wrapped up! They definitely went through a lot through the course of this series, and Iron Vow really tied things up nicely, both for the series, and for the characters and the world, and I was really satisfied with the ending! 

Loved reading these books, they were a perfect series closer to the world!
