Iron Legends by Julie Kagawa

Finally! A conglomeration of all Kagawa's Iron Fey short stories in print! Technically I got this a few weeks ago, but today I had some extra time, so I read the "last" of Meghan's story called the "Iron Prophecy" which was very good. It's rather short, only 8 or 9 chapters, but it's well written and all the beloved characters are in it. Puck, Meg, Ash, Grim, as well as everyone's favorite crazy Summer and Winter Faerie monarchs. As per usual Mab is a bitch, Titania ignores everyone, and Oberon is indifferent. And MAJOR SPOILER....

MEGHAN IS PREGNANT!!!!! Whooo! But only sort of, since according to a psycho seer Meghan and Ash's baby is fated to destroy the world or something. Who knows...

Anyway READ IT! With the whole gang together fun, crazy, and dangerous things are bound to happen!

In this book we also have "Winter's Passage" where Ash is forced to take Meghan back to the Iron Kingdom due to a promise. During this little trip them manage to run into the Big Bad Wolf. Like as in Red Riding Hood, the one of nightmares and horror movies. He's been contracted by a certain someone to kidnap Meghan and possibly kill Ash if the moment presents itself.

Also to be found is "Summer's Crossing" the short story where Ash and Puck (the narrator) team up to look for a Violin Leansidhe needs back. Naturally Titania stole it, because if there's one person Titania hates more that Meghan and Oberon, its Leanshidhe. Their relationship is... less than pleasant.

All in all I'm thrilled to have the short stories in print. Plus in Iron Prophecy you get some hints as to what Ethan's story will entail and how he fits into a prophecy about destroying the three Fey Courts. Its interesting. All I have to say is: Ethan, you could have done waaaay better in the nephew department. Good Luck!
