Great series, sad to see it come to an end.
The series is pretty much summed up by it's title. It's about Fey, the Summer & Winter courts. However, the Iron Fey are suddenly gaining numbers and iron is a weakness for the fey, so yeah bad news.
I'll be honest and say that I thought the series did not have a great start. I did not like the first book, but after that, the series was awesome! Meghan Chase literally grows up in front of your eyes and her relationship with Ash was sweet and cute.
My first impressions of Meghan's character were not great, but she grows on you after the first book. My favorite book is the 3rd one, Iron Queen, because you see a different Meghan, a matured Meghan who is ready to take responsibility for her actions.
Ash & Puck (Robin Goodfellow) are both great characters. As you go on reading the series, you realize there's more to Puck than just a normal teenager, and when I found out, I was shocked & excited. His character's past is definitely interesting and funny, and I love his personality. Then, there's Ash. Ash is the Winter prince, and at first he comes out as a jerk, but he grows on you as well. As you watch the progress between Ash & Meghan, you'll definitely look back and go "wow, they've come so far". The characters Ash, Puck, & Meghan are all complex. They've all been through a lot throughout their lives, and their loyalty to one another is just great.
Anyways, I don't want to spoil the series. I just wanted to recommend these to every person that has not read this series, because you're definitely missing out.
1. The Iron King
2. The Iron Daughter
3. The Iron Queen
4. The Iron Knight
UPDATE: I also forgot to mention that there is a spinoff of this series called The Iron Fey: Call of the Forgotten (thank you for reminding me).
The first book is titled The Lost Prince & it's Ethan Chase's turn to be the protagonist.
I received an ARC for this book, so hopefully I'll get around to reading it as soon as possible and be able to post a review!
Here's the description:
Don't look at Them. Never let Them know you can see Them.That is Ethan Chase's unbreakable rule. Until the fey he avoids at all costs—including his reputation—begin to disappear, and Ethan is attacked. Now he must change the rules to protect his family. To save a girl he never thought he'd dare to fall for.
Ethan thought he had protected himself from his older sister's world—the land of Faery. His previous time in the Iron Realm left him with nothing but fear and disgust for the world Meghan Chase has made her home, a land of myth and talking cats, of magic and seductive enemies. But when destiny comes for Ethan, there is no escape from a danger long, long forgotten.
