Something has always felt slightly off in Meghan's life, ever since her father disappeared before her eyes when she was six. She has never quite fit in at school or at home. When a dark stranger begins watching her from afar, and her prankster best friend becomes strangely protective of her, Meghan senses that everything she's known is about to change. But she could never have guessed the truth--that she is the daughter of a mythical faery king and is a pawn in a deadly war. Now Meghan will learn just how far she'll go to save someone she cares about, to stop a mysterious evil no faery creature dare face and to find love with a young prince who might rather see her dead than let her touch his icy heart."--p.[4] of cover.

Summary
Add a Summaryimage On the eve of her sixteenth birthday, Meghan Chase is confronted with a scene straight out of Pet Cemetery when she and her mother are attacked by her four year old brother. Her best friend Robbie (aka the famous Puck) saves her and reveals that her brother has been switched with a faery changeling and the only way to get him back is to find the kidnapper in the Nevernever (aka faeryland). The world of the faery is as terrifying as it is beautiful. In her quest, Meghan is nearly eaten several times, ripped apart by trolls, drowned by nixies, impaled by a prince, raped by a herd of satyrs, and boiled by Goblins. And that's not even half of it. There is nothing sweet and gentle about the fey in this book.
Meghan has always felt that she didn't quite fit in. But she could always rely on her best friend, Robbie, for a smile and her little brother, Ethan, for a hug. On her 16th birthday, Meghan's world is shaken to the core when Ethan is kidnapped and she finds out that Robbie is not what he appears to be. Determined to rescue Ethan, Meghan enters the faery realm where the Summer and Winter fey are eternally at odds. Meghan becomes a pawn in their deadly game and knows she cannot trust anyone. Even so, she needs help to battle her way across the Nevernever in search of Ethan and must decide whether the gorgeous but dangerous Winter prince can be trusted. When a cruel and twisted power threatens to destroy all of Nevernever, will Meghan find her brother before it’s too late? Grades 8-12, 363 pages

Add a CommentSlow start but great book!
i hate this book its a bad copy of alice in wonderland its just an extremely terrible book also it goes on too slow and it is boring it either has boring parts or wannabe exiting parts i do not reccomend it
I have to admit that I usually don’t care for books about fairies, but I found The Iron King not only very readable but actually enjoyable as well. The author moves her story along at a nice pace, doesn’t indulge in too much teen angst, and keeps a vein of humor running throughout the story. She nicely wrapped up major plot points in this book, while still leaving the door wide open for the next story. I have been ensnared by this fey series and will be looking for the second book soon.
Love the book cant wait to read the whole series!!! Amazing!!!
omg i loved this good. its really funny. i creaked up when the massage of scott showed up on the screen in the computer lab. hahah
A great series. Worth reading. And great for teens.
This series is great! It's full of action, adventure, and romance. I currently have a competition on my blog to win the entire series I also have a full and detailed review of this installment on my blog. Zach's YA Reviews (zachsyareviews.blogspot.com)
really loved this entire series! currently waiting for 'The Lost Prince', the first book in her new trilogy, about Ethan, megans younger brother. stoked!
Ok, so I've been reading many similar themed books lately and I gotta say this one was poorly written. Lots of stuff going on all the time but I never felt any emotion towards the characters. The author just didn't go deep enough into how they were feeling and why they did the things they did. With that being said I think the story is amazing and I will certainly continue with the series. I've already begun the second book and the writing style has changed for the better. Hopefully they just keep getting better cause the potential romance in this series is to die for.
This rating and comment applies to the whole series, since I read it rather quickly. I would really give this series 4.9 stars, but I had to round it up to 5. Of course, judging by that, you can tell that I found this series amazing. The best I've read in months. The romance picks up quickly enough, and I noticed that for at least the first three books, there's some form of excitement in every single chapter, be it a fight, some tension/suspense... it's easy to get hooked. And what Kagawa has managed to do that most authors can't is keep the same quality throughout the series. The ending of the series could perhaps have been slightly better, but it's satisfying enough, especially compared to the way many other authors end their serieses. Of course, there were a few flaws. The love triangle wasn't quite up to standard, I found. As Puck himself said in the third book, he never really had a chance. He was a well-done character, but I feel like he was away a lot, and didn't try hard enough, and the romantic aspect was almost completely dominated by Ash. I would have liked to see Kagawa do more with this love triangle. And the second small issue was that the twists were rather obvious. I could see most of them from at least half a book away. The books weren't completely predictable, but any foreshadowing was more like a half-hidden billboard. All the same, I would definitely recommend this series, and I'll be sure to watch eagerly for anything else Kagawa writes.
