The Iron Raven: Book 1 (The Iron Fey: Evenfall)

Product Information

Just the kid of a friend of mine.” I shrugged, very casually. “Tends to get himself into trouble if we don’t keep an eye on him. Speaking of which, this has all been very interesting, but I should really be going.” I worried for him. Despite everything he’d done, he was still a good kid, wanting to redeem himself for the crimes of his past. But I saw that hint of darkness in the shadows that clung to his skin and curled around him like grasping claws. He reminded me of another faery who, at a time when rage and despair had driven his every decision, had turned on his former best friend and tried to destroy him. I saw hints of that grief in the faery before me now. He was very much like his father. The end has begun. Evenfall is coming. Faery and every living creature that exists under the sun are doomed.” Fortunately there’s plenty of fast paced action in The Iron Sword because Ash is a dynamic fighter, A few smaller skirmishes eventually lead to an impressive multi-staged battle that the group seem on the verge of losing until some surprising allies step in. Kagawa is skilled at conjuring these scenes so that it’s easy to visualise the chaos of swords and magic as the hero’s and monsters clash.

Ook de vloer ging schuil onder spinrag en aan het plafond hingen strengen, nauwelijks zichtbaar in het schemerduister.” Pre-review: Why are all old-timer YA authors revisiting their debuts these days? First Tahereh Mafi, then Marie Lu, and now Julie Kagawa. Regardless, that seemed a bit extreme. It’s not like the Iron fey have threatened anyone since the war with Ferrum. Oh hey, guys.” I stopped, raising a hand to the dogs, who eyed me with flat, unfriendly gazes. “I come in peace. I’m not going to snitch your stuff.” They continued to shoot me baleful looks, and I offered a weak smile. “Um… I’ll trade you safe passage for a squeaky bone.” I received an ARC of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Een pluizige cyperse kat slenterde naar voren, zwaaiend met een uitzonderlijk volle pluimstaart. Hij nam ons allemaal met een verveelde blik in zijn gouden ogen op.” I also really liked getting to meet Nyx in this. She definitely brought something different to the story and the world. I can't wait for their next adventure since Meghan's kid is now missing. I'm excited for the sequel but hate waiting at the same time.I sent out a request for Grimalkin, but he hasn’t answered.” Keirran shook his head with another frown. “Of course, Grimalkin will come only if he feels like it, and he’s decided not to show. I’m running out of options. Since I can’t go into the Nevernever myself, I figured I would come here to try to get a message to the Iron Court.” No. I’m not in any trouble, but…” Keirran hesitated, a slight furrow creasing his brow. “Something strange is happening in the Between,” he admitted. “There have been…incidents, with the Forgotten. Violent incidents, which is not like them at all. And the Between itself is… It doesn’t feel right, if that makes any sense.” He sighed, sounding frustrated and, for a moment, looking years younger. “I don’t know what’s going on, and that worries me,” he muttered. “I was hoping Mom or someone from the Iron Court would be able to help. I certainly can’t bring my concerns to Summer or Winter.” Als je de letterlijke wolk van magie tenminste niet kon zien die eromheen kolkte, waaruit rokerige flarden opstegen die de lucht in kronkelden en daar oplosten.”
