Winter's Passage (Iron Fey #1.5) by Julie Kagawa

So I have a few reviews to post and want to put them up today, but I'm not sure I'll get to it. I've gone through quite a few books this week, even surprised myself. So I'll start with this one and then move on as I get them done :)

Winter's Passage by Julie Kagawa
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I love to read little snippets in between books. It always gives me so much more information on the characters and makes things a little more interesting for the next book. Winter's Passage is no different.

Blurb from Goodreads:
Meghan Chase used to be an ordinary girl...until she discovered that she is really a faery princess. After escaping from the clutches of the deadly Iron fey, Meghan must follow through on her promise to return to the equally dangerous Winter Court with her forbidden love, Prince Ash. But first, Meghan has one request: that they visit Puck--Meghan's best friend and servant of her father, King Oberon--who was gravely injured defending Meghan from the Iron Fey.
Yet Meghan and Ash's detour does not go unnoticed. They have caught the attention of an ancient, powerful hunter--a foe that even Ash may not be able to defeat....

I have to say in this novella I saw a growth in Kagawa's writing, a better hold on how to bring the reader into the story. Considering I was a bit bored during the first half of Iron King, it was nice to be able to read through this quickly. Kagawa kept my interest and made me want to get to the end of the story.

This story takes it's reader on the journey from Meghan's home to her new place at the Winter Court.

I liked the introduction of the wolf into this story. He's a formidable beast for sure. And Kagawa certainly keeps you guessing as to when Ash and Meghan will finally be caught by this foe.

This was a quick, light read, giving a bit more depth to the story that is the Iron Fey. I enjoyed it very much and read through it fairly quickly. The story gives you more depth to the land of the Winter Fae. And continues to show you the growing forbidden relationship between Meghan and Ash. it definitely made me want to move on to the next book in the series to see what happens.

4 out of 5 stars from me!
