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

Product Information

It wouldn’t be a Space Marine party without the Ultramarines, and the final battleforce shows them at their versatile best. You get objective control from 10 Intercessors, supreme firepower from 10 Hellblasters, melee mastery from three Bladeguard Veterans, tactical genius from Marneus Calgar, and psychic dominance from Chief Librarian Tigurius. Two members of the Victrix Guard have even joined their Chapter Master for the ride. The small creature fled, gears and pistons squeaking as it scurried away and vanished around a booth.

The word "stubborn" gets thrown around too much. I have hated that word since YA Paranormal Romances ruined it. You know what I'm talking about—the male love interest will sigh through his aquiline nose and say the heroine is being stubborn when he really means she has no self-preservation skills and Darwinism will take care of her. These characters are exactly the same. They use the word stubborn when they really mean idiotic, or if I’m being generous, loyal to a fault. I'll be happy if I never see the word "stubborn" used in a positive context again, k thanks.

Naja das stimmt nicht so ganz. Ich wurde tatsächlich dazu gedrängt, diese Serie zu lesen, weil es die Lieblingsserie einer Freundin war. Zoals ik vooraf verwachtte heb ik ontzettend genoten van dit meeslepende verhaal vol magie, duisternis, avontuur, intrigerende personages en gebeurtenissen. Het einde belooft nog zoveel meer belevenissen, ik kan niet wachten! Ik heb altijd de stiekeme hoop dat Julie Kagawa een nieuw deel in deze boekenserie zal schrijven vanuit Grim. Puur omdat ik zijn stoïcijnse houding en sarcastische opmerkingen enorm waardeer en heel benieuwd ben naar zijn verdere achtergrond. Bovendien ben ik gewoon automatisch fan van een katachtig karakter in een boek alhoewel Grimalkin toch wel de uniekste is. We zullen het af moeten wachten.

Now we have The Iron Fey: Evenfall. And after two books, I gotta say, I’m not loving it. Maybe it’s because I’m older now, maybe at this point, I’ve read way too many YA novels. Whatever the reason, this series has lost its charm.I love Julie Kagawa and her style of writing but it did feel slightly monotonous as there were multiple scenes depicting, “Something dark had descended and turned normally peaceful creatures vengeful.” Then at about 80% of the book, they encounter a mysterious dark and make a decision to investigate it ( I honestly thought that’s what they were doing for the entire book before ????? ) No problem, princeling.” I grinned, rubbing my hands together. “It’s been a while since I’ve been on a decent adventure. A trek into the Between sounds fun.”

I have read all the books in this series and I have to say this was not the best book in the series. I’m not saying it was bad but it wasn’t the best. Its one of those book were your reading series and you have to read it to understand the next book. Many Iron Ravens were originally members of Roboute Guilliman's Unnumbered Sons and fought during the early years of the Indomitus Crusade.We've learned a lot since then. When I first came through here with Ironhorse, I was younger, and much more..." She paused. It was of the Iron Realm,” the gnome muttered, wrinkling her nose. “It belongs to the Iron faery that set up shop in the goblin market. Horrible creature. They shouldn’t be allowed.” I would definitely recommend this one to young readers, it is still a good story, but for people like me that mostly aged out of middle grade/teen type books I wouldn't go in expecting any more than just that or you will likely be disappointed. In the end, I did enjoy this one. It was a fun read and I recommend it to any fans of The Iron Fey.
