Review: The Iron Raven

The Iron Raven by Julie Kagawa
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Most readers are familiar with Robin Goodfellow.  He is also known as Puck and is best known for his role in A Midsummer Night’s Dream.  Puck is also a friend of the Iron Queen Meghan Chase and her prince consort, Ash.  There is a new threat to the lands of Faery and Puck finds himself on a new adventure.  Will Puck return to his darker side, Robin Goodfellow?  Can his friends still trust he will choose good over evil?

 

The Iron Raven is the first book in The Iron Fey: Evenfall series.  Characters from the original series will be found in this book, but readers do not need to have read that series to enjoy this one.  There are many tales about Robin Goodfellow (A.K.A. Puck), yet readers will learn new insights into the character we love to hate.  Overall I enjoyed the story, but readers need to know that it is meant to be more about what turned Robin Goodfellow into Puck than the adventure.  We will need to wait for the next book to know if that will be the trend for the series.
