- The Iron Fey: Call of the Forgotten
Julie Kagawa
*Beware of spoilers as you get further into the series
The Lost Prince
Ethan Chase has been able to see Them since he was kidnapped at the age of 4. All his life he has battled against them, trying to keep them at bay - but for the life of him, no pun intended, they will not leave him alone.
Acting out because of it, he has gotten himself a bit of a reputation of a badass. Which made him a loner. He's not complaining (too much) because it's less people to worry about saving about from Them.
Then he gets transferred to a new school. It's his last shot at a a "fresh shot". In walks Mackenzie. The nonstop little blonde bundle of girl who won't leave Ethan alone for an interview for the school paper.
Ethan also makes a friend of sorts, Todd, who all of the sudden goes missing. Todd can also see Them so when Todd goes missing Ethan has to do the one thing he swore he'd never do: he has to contact the Fey.
On his hunt for Todd into the Nevernever, adventure meets him and tries to suffocate him. With Kenzie by his side, and the unlikely of help from some familiar characters, the group is off.
With new friends, new enemies and new threats to the Nevernever, Ethan and the gang must figure out what has been forgotten.
An intriguing take on what has been an amazing series so far. I like that we get more of "the next generation" if you will, but I do wish we got to see Meghan as Queen. Kenzie and Ethan's story pulls you in though and has it's own twists and turns to keep you deep in the jungles of the Courts.

The Iron Traitor
I had a 3 hour break between work appointments and read this in one sitting. in a college cafe.
and threw it down (pretty hard) once I read that last page only to have everyone look over at me.
and let me tell you, totally worth it!
This series just gets better and better.
Okay so, after the mess at New York, Ethan is back at home trying to be as normal as possible (I said trying) but then he finds out Kenzie is in the hospital - just weak from their adventure - but her father blames him and demands these two stay away from each other.
Oh, and then Megan shows up at his house.
Keirran is missing.
Ethan hasn't seen him but might have an idea where he is. He wants no part of it though.
On their first official date, Ethan brings Kenzie over... only to find Annwyl in his room. Keirran is in trouble and it's because of her. She is fading and he has gone to find an impossible cure.
Nonstop and full of wit and love and battles; absolutely perfect! Not enough Puck in it for me, but what can you do? Impossible to put down but the title of "traitor" is well placed. My goodness Kagawa knows how to keep you coming back for more.

Iron Warrior
Continuing right from where we leave Ethan in Iron Traitor, we are thrown right into the middle of absolute hysteria. Keirran has betrayed everyone he knows and loves for the sake of love. Oh, and a Prophecy that needs fulfilling.
Only problem is that there is a point of no return and it's up to Ethan, Kenzie, Razor and some unlikely characters to see if they can stop him from reaching that point.
Ethan and Kenzie are one of my favourite ships! Their relationship is similar to that of Ash and Meghan; intensity and true love. The overall writing in the story (and series overall) never falters or falls below wonderful at any point. Kagawa has you gripping the pages from start to finish as you race through Faery with the gang to see what happens next. Twists and turns left, right and center continue right to the end where they are wrapped up beautifully. You will wish the stories never end.
This is one series that won't be Forgotten.
