The Iron Traitor by Julie Kagawa
The Iron Traitor by Julie Kagawa
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Flails!!!
Ethan Chase knows he will never be normal. Caught between the human and the Faery worlds he’s aiming for as close to it as he can.
Kenzie is a step in the right direction for him.
The Iron Traitor is book 2 in The Call of The Forgotten series, a spin-off from the Iron Fey Series, and it’s a strong second book.
Previously, Ethan has been angry, and closed off to any kind of friendships or relationships, simply because the fey always seemed to cause problems. Now that he has Kenzie in his life, he finds himself making an effort to try for normal.
That is until Annwyl pleads for his help in finding Kierran. Annwyl is fading and she’s afraid of what Kierran is going to do to make sure that doesn’t happen.
I’m not sure if I’ve said this before, but one of the reasons I love Julie Kagawa and one of the things she is amazing at is the incredible world building she does. From the worlds of the Never Never to the In Between I find her descriptions perfectly done and wonderfully described.
I also adore her characters. Kenzie is quickly becoming a favorite. She’s fierce and determined and despite the many times she could have given up on Ethan and this thing between them, she never did and she stands up for herself, demanding to be a part of this life that Ethan has always tried to keep hidden. Ethan is just as wonderful. His determination to keep Kenzie safe and help Annwyl and find Kierran are all telling as to his character. He’s loyal and strong… but he also issues with opening up to those he cares about. He fears losing those important to him and still struggles with the feelings of abandonment from Meghan’s leaving.
The Iron Fey series is one of my favorites, and it’s nice to be able to revisit those characters I met way back when… Grimalkin, Meghan, Puck and yes, Ash are even in this book in brief appearances.
And Kierran. I don’t even know what to say about him. He confuses me and I struggle to understand his character and motives… but I know Kagawa will fill me in at her own pace.
The end of this book will have you reeling and while I found the first half of the story slower paced and a bit harder to get in to, I still loved it all the same. I knew the story wasn’t going to be complete without something that would knock me over, and Kagawa delivers.
If you haven’t read the Iron Fey Series… go. Then pick up this series, I promise you’ll enjoy the world that Kagawa has created and the story she weaves. I’m looking forward to book three more than ever!
