Editorial Reviews

2020-11-12
A new monster invading the world of Faery unearths old hatred, betrayal, and heartache.

In this new trilogy set in the world of The Iron Fey stories, Robin Goodfellow, aka Puck, self-proclaimed World’s Greatest Prankster, is the protagonist. He is interrupted in his latest schemes by a chance encounter with Keirran, King of the Forgotten, who is attempting to contact his mother, the Iron Queen, about a disturbance in the Between. This sets off a quest that revisits beloved characters from previous books while introducing new ones. In the ensuing battles, Puck struggles with his cruel and savage past self and buried hurts. For the uninitiated, the steady stream of characters with complicated backstories and memories related to past books may at first appear daunting to digest. Kagawa, however, does an excellent job of pacing the introductions, connecting the relationship histories, and providing space for all these players to be fleshed out and interact with one another. While the sidhe are mostly described as being similar: “slender, beautiful, otherworldly, and pointy-eared,” with variations in hair and eye color, the story does go into some innate prejudice and bias against beings in different realms. There is no shortage of humor and action, as is to be expected when following Puck’s adventures. When the quips stop, readers know things are about to get serious.

High adventure, rakish humor, and just enough of the feels to get readers’ hearts racing. (Fantasy. 13-17)
