Book Review: The Iron Traitor (Iron Fey: Call of the Forgotten #2)

In the real world, when you vanish into thin air for a week, people tend to notice.

After his unexpected journey into the lands of the fey, Ethan Chase just wants to get back to normal. Well, as "normal" as you can be when you see faeries every day of your life. Suddenly the former loner with the bad reputation has someone to try for-his girlfriend, Kenzie. Never mind that he's forbidden to see her again.

But when your name is Ethan Chase and your sister is one of the most powerful faeries in the Nevernever, "normal" simply isn't to be. For Ethan's nephew, Keirran, is missing, and may be on the verge of doing something unthinkable in the name of saving his own love. Something that will fracture the human and faery worlds forever, and give rise to the dangerous fey known as the Forgotten. As Ethan's and Keirran's fates entwine and Keirran slips further into darkness, Ethan's next choice may decide the fate of them all


I love Julie Kagawa.  She’s one of my favorite authors in the whole entire world.  I think she’s just amazing, and her stories are so captivating.  My favorite parts?  Her endings.  They make you want to scream but you can’t help but feel satisfied with them anyways.  This one was no different.  It had everything I love about her in it.  Unfortunately, I found the beginning to be… lack luster.  I didn’t care about anything until maybe part three because, well, nothing to care about was happening.  I would say that’s because this is just a filler book, but it’s really not.  Another problem, the characters didn’t really grow as much as I would have liked.

Of course, as a fan girl it was amazing.  I loved returning to one of my favorite worlds.  As a review, though, I’m inclined to give this book only 3 and a half stars.  Nothing personal, because as a fan it gets five for sure.  The next (and final, I think) book will certainly be mind-blowing and I can not wait!
