“I could see my reflection in her gaze, the horns jutting out of my hair, the slightly feral look that seemed normal for me now. My heartbeat picked up, and my mouth went dry as this deadly, confident, beautiful assassin held my gaze without fear.”
I initially rated this 3 stars, but the more I thought about it, the angrier I got, so buckle in your seatbelts.
Me to The Iron Raven:
I'm too mad to structure this properly, so this will just be a list of thoughts/things that infuriated me:
-
Why another heterosexual, white romance? Just why?? Puck is a faerie and Kagawa has previously confirmed on Twitter that fey have no fixed sexual orientation. In the book, Puck tells us that he has had romantic interactions with creatures of all genders and species. Then why fucking play it safe? Why give us this piss-weak attempt at representation, then not show it on page? I’m especially disappointed because Kagawa used #OwnVoices to promote her Shadow of the Fox series, but remained conspicuously silent during BLM. You can argue that she doesn’t want her Twitter to be for anything but author promo, but in my opinion, if you wanna reap the benefits of the diversity card, you have to give back to the community in return. I’m not saying she should be out there holding a sign on the street, but she can at least use her influence to promote resources and organizations.
-There’s too much mention of kissing when they really mean sex. Teenagers. Have. Sex. They likely talk about it more than we do because hormones. So stop clutching your pearls and just say the word sex. I’m not asking for graphic erotica, but this is just prudish.
-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.
-We get kissy-kissy scenes between Ash and Meghan and seriously,
those two just need to fuck off already. I would’ve preferred they play a minimum role because this is a new series and they were titular characters in the first series. But they're still very much prominent, and I suspect it's because Kagawa wants to (not so) indirectly praise their epic romance.
-The big bad was laughable. (view spoiler)
[After all that hype, what defeats the creature is the power of lurve. Okay, maybe not exactly love, but positive thoughts. Just say riddikulus, mate, and save us all some time (hide spoiler)]-Nyx, Puck's love interest, is boring. She was fiercely loyal to the Lady of the Forgotten and is now loyal to Kerrian, the new King of the Forgotten. I figured she’d be more upset that Kerrian murdered her queen, but I guess the narrative wanted to usher us in another direction so oopsie, no time for that grievance! She would’ve been a far more interesting character if she had to wrestle with her past and new loyalties.
Anything dark is just glossed over in general. Puck was wounded by the creature near the beginning and is consequentially reverting back to Robin Goodfellow, the vicious faerie he used to be, who had no conscience and would play cruel pranks. We get a very sanctified version of Robin Goodfellow though. Puck gets horns and goat hindquarters and says a few mean words to Ash, and that’s it. The book feels the need to remind us every few pages that Puck is feeling these daaaark things and he doesn’t want to be that person, but all these reminders only serve as a smokescreen for the fact we're never going to get Dark!Puck. It's all tell, no show. Kagawa is too scared of making this book semi-nuanced, so she never actually lets Puck off his reins. Does she genuinely think readers will turn on Puck if he does something cruel, like bomb a village with rats? The YA community is way too obsessed with villains. Most of them are still salivating over the Darkling from Shadow and Bone and he murdered and mutilated people.
-The flashbacks were the only interesting parts of the book, but they were far too few. We only get two from what I recall. We don't get a gay encounter in the flashbacks either. Lame.
The Iron Raven could have been magnificent. The ingredients were there and they were just squandered. That's what angers me the most.Pre-review: Why are all old-timer YA authors revisiting their debuts these days? First Tahereh Mafi, then Marie Lu, and now Julie Kagawa.
Honestly I think this is linked to the incoming trend of YA authors moving into adult fiction. Sarah J. Mass is set to release Crescent City, and Leigh Bardugo just released Ninth House. They’re catching up with their audience. The readers that read Throne of Glass back when it first came out are adults now and might yearn for more mature content. Writing adult fiction is a good way to tap into your existing fanbase (and keep them for the more cynical-minded). Revisiting old series carries the same logic. Of course I’m going to fucking read The Iron Raven, even though the tropes would make present-day me throw up my eyeballs. They’re capitalizing off nostalgia and you know what—you got. Hook, line, and Puck-shaped sinker.

At this point, authors are just taking advantage of our nostalgia. But you know what? I'm ok with that. I have been waiting for my main-man Puck, AKA: Robin Goodfellow, AKA: one-of-my-favorite-characters-of-all-time-and-forever, to get his book, and after a whole decade of waiting, he finally did.
That said, after I read it, I up the book down, stared into the emptiness and had no idea what I even thought about it. I've been postponing my review for days because I don't know what to say.
Did I enjoy it? Yes. For sure.
Did I love it? No. Not really.
Was it full o the same stuff I loved in the Iron Fey? It certainly was.
Did it fill me with the same joy as the Iron Fey? It certainly did not.So, here we are.
First, let me tell you, I love Puck. He's funny and charming and very entertaining to read about. I loved being in his head and getting to see just how complex he is. I loved him as the main character, although I did have an issue with the narrative style and wording (see below).
The rest of our beloved gang is also back with Grimalkin, Ash, and Megan. I missed that squad so much! We also have a new character, Nyx, who I honestly felt pretty ambivalent towards. She was cool but not necessarily memorable for me. Then again, I was too busy focusing on Puck and all the other OG cast.
The plot is fast-paced and action-packed. There was a moment right before Puck meets up with Ash and Megan that kind of dragged for me, but once the gang was together, it all picked up again.
The writing is good for the most part and I enjoyed the way the world and character dialogue was written.
Still, the book is repetitive. Puck goes through the same inner monologue too many times. It's the same pity party over and over. It goes with the same phrasing and word choice and while I did feel for him at first, by the third or fourth time of the same sad fest, I just rolled my eyes
Also, through the book we see Puck revert to the Robin Goodfellow from legend that everyone feared. And every time this would get mentioned, it was in the same repetitive monologue. It got old quick. It was also underwhelming.
I wanted to see a cruel, sadistic, bloodthirsty Robin Goodfellow because that's what they kept hyping up but that's not what we got. It was all talk. Other than some shady things he said and some slightly more powerful uses of magic, he wasn't all that bad or terrifying. It's like the author was afraid that to show the full darkness in him because it might damage his likable persona.
Then there was the romance. I liked it. And didn't like it. Romance is not the main focus of the book so don't worry. Nor are there any wild declarations of love, which is why I liked it. But according to my calculations, this book takes place over four or five days. I've never been in love, so maybe I'm wrong, but
4-5 business days aren't enough to fall in love with someone. Especially when that someone has such little character development. And especially when you're a centuries-old faerie and not a naive teenage boy. It just felt rushed and forced to me. Like Puck needed a love interest and the author said, yeah why not.
In the end, I did enjoy this one. It was a fun read and I recommend it to any fans of The Iron Fey. Lastly, this is just a suggestion. Do you have to read The Iron Fey and The Iron Fey: Call of the Forgotten series to understand this book? Technically no. Should you? Probably yes. Considering that most of the characters in this book (literally everyone except for Nyx) are from the previous novels and that the entire plot of this book is a consequence of the things that happened prior, you might lack a lot of background information. But, do with that information what you will.

"A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...
Wait, hold up. Wrong story." 3 stars for the actual story and that extra star is for all the Ash scenes I was blessed with🥺
yes, I know this is Puck's book but...there was also
Ash *swoooon*
First thing's first --
The Iron Raven is a spin-off of the
The Iron Fey series, so while you don't necessarily
have to read that before this, I highly recommend it!!
There's a recap of all that's happened in the other two series, so that'll mean spoilers...and I mean, you'd be missing out on meeting
the Ash, aka
the love of my life. *fangirling*
BUT anyways, this isn't about Ash so I'll stop now.
Puck
finally got his story and I have to say...I'm a bit conflicted on how it turned out to be.
════☩══✠══☩════
"The Nevernever could be crumbling under our feet, and you'd make a joke about it."
Robin Goodfellow--our very own Puck, has always been dismissed as the ridiculous fool who takes nothing seriously and his very own name instills fear into others because of the chaos he wreaks.
Basically,
he's bad news.But we love that about him.
at least most of the world does I've always been a #TeamAsh, but Puck is still one of my favourites. And wow, reading from his POV and seeing all his thoughts...I have to say that it gets
dark .
Puck always seemed to be cheerful & uncaring about a lot, but damnn he's totally different on the inside and it showed. The amount of times I wanted to cry over Puck's pain :(((
And I loved that we got to learn wayyyy more about Puck's past. Like
A LOT more and how he used to be centuries ago. Really makes you understand him so much more <333
════☩══✠══☩════
"Generally, I find a dagger is a much better alternative to stopping someone's heart than a surprise party.
There's far less of a chance they'll stab you back."
Yes, she sounds very concerning but I
adore that. Nyx is supposedly Puck's new love interest and she's super cool. Puck himself called her an
Ash 2.0 and I CAN SEE THAT.😂
The way I want to talk more about her, but I think it's much better if you see for yourself.😏 I'll just say that she's very very skilled assassin and Julie made many references to
Sailor Moon that related to Nyx.
But as much as I did like her, I found the romance between Puck and her a little lacking :/
Although, it's probably just a me thing, but I literally shrieked and had a goofy smile on my face every time I saw a
MeghanxAsh scene.
I was
living for those moments.
Ash started to say something, and she glared at him. "Unless I don't get any rest from the constant hovering of an overprotective Winter faery who is worried that I'm not getting enough rest."
Ash slumped in defeat. "Fine," I heard him say. "As you wish, my queen. But if you pass out or fall asleep during the fight with the big monster, I get to be 'unbearably overprotective' for the next month."
AHHH WHY DID I FIND THAT SWOONY???🥺💞
Lowering her arms, Meghan swayed on her feet, then collapsed into Ash's arms.
I wish I could fall into Ash's arms :(
yes, clearly something is wrong with me, i know
But you can't have an
Iron Fey book without our ✨favourite✨ cait sith--
Grimalkin. He was as 'helpful' as always and the star of the show
other than Ash ofc. His "Because I am a cat" responses were as
infuriating hilarious as always. You could give me a whole series on Grimalkin and I'll read it.😹
wait, that's actually a really good idea...if Julie did that, I'd die of happiness.
"We've learned a lot since then. When I first came through here with Ironhorse, I was younger, and much more..." She paused.
"Reckless?" Ash said quietly beside her.
"Impulsive," Grimalkin added up front without turning around.
"Prone to shrieking?" I put in, not about to be left out.
The Iron Queen glared at us all. "All those things, I suppose," she said in a flat voice that hinted at retribution later on.
That moment when they all gang up on Meghan😂 They're not wrong tho
Now the reason why I thought of this story as deserving a
3 star is because it kinda felt like it was
lacking the
same magic that I felt the
original series had. There's definitely been lots of improvement in terms of writing, although I've always loved Julie's writing.
There was also (and might just be me) the amount of times I saw
"smirk" being used AND IT WAS SO ANNOYING. Like the characters can smirk and all, but when they're smirking basically ever five pages, ahahahaha that's just too much.
sTOP SMIRKING.
nO MORE SMIRKING.
if the next book I read has a lot of 'smirks', I'm gonna throw it across the room and burn itAhhh this has successfully made me want to reread
The Iron Fey series.
I've been apart from Ash for far too long.════☩══✠══☩════

The Iron Raven is the first installment of a new trilogy set within the world of Julie Kagawa's much loved
Iron Fey series.
There have been seven previous full-length novels, as well as a handful of novellas, in this series. This is the first to feature Robin Goodfellow, aka Puck, as the narrator.
I must confess, I have never read any of the
Iron Fey novels. In spite of that, I still had a ton of fun reading this and fell in love with the characters. Kagawa did an incredible job making this accessible to Readers new to this world.
With this being said, I'm sure for long-time fans of the series, this book is full of nostalgic content and it will be even more wonderful for them to read.
I was excited to pick this up because Kagawa's
Shadow of the Fox trilogy is my favorite YA Fantasy trilogy of all time.
Her witty and vibrant writing style mesh extremely well with my tastes. In fact, after this, I am quite tempted to go back and read the
Iron Fey series from the beginning!
This novel is a classic adventure story, complete with a dangerous quest, set in the land of the Fae.
It begins when Puck chances upon the King of the Forgotten, Kierran, who needs to get a message to his mother, Meghan, the Iron Queen. He needs to warn her of a vicious monster currently wrecking havoc in the Between.
When the monster does show its face, it is unlike anything Puck as ever encountered. He's injured during the confrontation, as is Puck's new friend, the lady's assassin, Nyx.
After seeking healing aide from a local goblin, Puck and Nyx set out together to find Meghan and engage her help with putting a stop to the monster's reign of terror.
I really enjoyed Puck as narrator. He is sarcastic and funny, even in the most dire of situations. He is also a character struggling with past hurts and negative aspects of his own personality.
I always love a quest. As a hodge-podge team of traveling companions are constructed, you just know that you are in for an action-packed good time. That was certainly the case here.
Puck and Nyx are ultimately joined by Meghan, Ash, Coaleater and Grim, as they try to find out the truth behind the monster and what threatens the lands of the Fae.
They encounter some dangerous obstacles and a whole host of magical and mythical creatures along the way; all while trying to navigate their own interpersonal challenges.
I was completely swept up into this world. As always, Kagawa's character interactions stole the show for me. I love her dialogue and laughed out loud numerous times.
The ending is a compelling cliffhanger, leaving off with a prophecy that definitely let's the Reader know this adventure is far from over.
Thank you so much to the publisher, Inkyard Press, for providing me with a copy to read and and review.
I had so much fun with it and cannot wait for the next book to be released!!!

Well, I listened to the audio from the library and it was like listening to middle grade twats. At first I thought it was everyone in the book but it was just Puck. I didn’t care for Puck at all and I’m not sure if I liked him in the old books or not.
I do know I loved Ash and it was nice he was in this book but the next book is his book so I’ll be all over that. And it better be good!!!

FULL OF NOSTALGIA - LACKING IN ORIGINALITYI always have and always will love The Iron Fey books. And I love Julie Kagawa for making this amazing universe filled with such great characters. And I definitely want her to keep writing books in this series as long as she has stories to tell. But that's the issue for me. This didn't feel like Kagawa had a story to tell. It didn't feel new or fresh to me. Finally we get Puck's story, but it just didn't do him the justice he deserves. It was definitely not a bad book, don't get me wrong. It's just that I know that Kagawa is capable of so much more!
"[...] my best laid plans always seem to backfire on me, so better not to have any to begin with."
- Puck
👍 What I Liked 👍Puck: I will always love Puck! He is so full of mischief and fun, it's hard not to like him. Sometimes he walks the line between what's acceptable and what's not, but that's part of his charm. There were some aspects, however, of Puck's character that I did not enjoy in this book (see below) but I am still so happy that he finally gets a story of his own, because he definitely deserves that!
Nostalgia: The nostalgia was definitely strong with this one. I was 19 or 20 when I read the original trilogy and I fell instantly in love. The characters, the universe, the magic - it ticks all my boxes. And I always enjoy a dose of nostalgia, which this book certainly delivered. We get back to the Nevernever and get to meet Grimalkin, Meghan, Kierran and Ash again. I think that was the highlight of this book for me.
👎 What I Disliked 👎Repetition: This word covers a lot of aspects of this book. First - Puck exhibits a lot of repetitive thought patterns that got quite old as the story went on. Second - the themes of this book seemed very repetitive of the themes in earlier books. I wanted this story to stretch and take me somewhere new. Sadly, that didn't happen.
Not far enough: The whole book is such a tease. It built up to something that never happened. (view spoiler)
[ All the way through, we see Puck reverting back to his former, darker self. We get a look inside his darkest thoughts and we see him lash out a couple of times. But he never actually goes all the way. They are all just thoughts in his head. He never acts on anything. (hide spoiler)] So the entire buildup just fizzled into nothing, making a large part of this book feel unnecessary.
AN EXAMPLE OF HOW HYPOCRITICAL I CAN BE:*Me, whenever Cassandra Clare releases a new Shadowhunter series*: Is that woman incapable of writing something original? Why doesn't she branch out and do something new? Stretch herself a bit?
*Me, whenever Julie Kagawa releases a new Iron Fey series*: OMG! I am so excited, I need this now!! 😍😍

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.My opinion of this brand-new series will differ vastly from the many fans of the Iron Fey world. As you know based on my review of Shadow’s Legacy, I am an Iron Fey newbie so I am looking at this world through a fresh pair of eyes and by golly I had a wonderful experience.
The story followed the events in Shadow’s Legacy. The land of the Fey is at risk. Something ominous is lurking in the Shadows and it’s up to Robin Goodfellow aka Puck and his friends to find a solution to ending this threat. However, they will discover that ridding their kingdom of this threat would not be as easy as they thought.
I had a wonderful time interacting with the characters. Puck lived up to his name of being a prankster. He had many facets, and it was fun discovering them all. Fun, charming and entertaining. He had me laughing out around many times throughout the story. I loved how the author delved into his past. I learnt of his struggles in the past. How he loved and lost and how the sound of his name struck fear in others.
Nyx, a Forgotten moon elf, whom I had the pleasure of meeting in the prequel, was such a badass. Her memories of her past were bleak, but she never forgot her skills as an assassin and her allegiance to the Queen of the Forgotten. On learning the Queen was dead, her allegiance switched to protecting Keirran. Hence her purpose on this mission. Fearless, strong and determined, and the perfect match for Puck.
The supporting cast added their special blend of magic to the story. Grimalkin made my day. His actions and responses while it infuriated Puck had me laughing my head off.
Each character was dealing with their own personal struggles while trying to fight off the threat to the Fey kingdom.
Puck and Nyx may not have shared romantic moments, not that there was time available for such things. However, the sparks between them burned brightly. I am looking forward to see how their relationship progresses.
A fast-paced read, Iron Raven had me flipping the pages. It took me on a magical journey where danger abound in every corner.
I loved the world the author created and found myself completely caught up in it. I couldn’t get enough of it.
All in all this was a fabulous start to this new series. It was a great way for older fans to dive back into this awesome world and catch up with favourite characters.

HAPPY BOOK BIRTHDAY
Facts: The Iron Raven is book #1 of the
Iron Fey: Evenfall series by Julie Kagawa. This book is a spin-off of the Iron Fey series. It is told from
Puck’s point of view and ends with a
resolved ending an intro to the next book. Genres:
Fantasy Young Adult |
Folklore adaptation 
Julie Kagawa launches her new Fantasy YA series, Iron Fey: Evenfall with this tale of famous trickster and the beautiful fey assassin who has captured his attention.
“Fine. Sit down, get some popcorn, and I’ll tell you the sordid tale of how Robin Goodfellow grew a conscience. A long time ago,” I began in a grand voice, “in a galaxy far, far away… Wait, hold up. Wrong story. Lemme try that again.” ~ Puck
The Nevernever is once again under threat. A powerful creature who is seemingly invincible is saturating the faeries with negative emotions and turning them in the mean versions of themselves. It is up to Puck and his new acquaintance Nyx, to warn the rulers of the Iron Realm and find a way to defeat this monster.
But even before their journey begins, the initial confrontation with the creature has changed Puck. Slowly, character traits from the cruel and vengeful persona he thought long dead begin to surface along with horns and hooves, and soon the fear inspiring Robin Goodfellow is breaking through. Can they defeat this creature before it affects the rest of Nevernever is a similar way? And will killing it bring the happy jokester back?
“No one likes a horny Robin Goodfellow.” ~ Puck
The Iron Fey series, was one of those series I fell head over heels in love with when it first came out. I couldn’t get enough of it. I devoured every bit of it, and I couldn’t get enough of Ash and Megan like in “An Iron Fey Valentine,” and Puck was never far behind. I always wanted him to get his HEA. I appreciate this spin-off which is his long overdue story.
The Iron Raven pulses with action and brilliant world building that leaps off the pages. I could picture magnificent Lord of the Rings like scenes with the deftly written descriptions of creatures and landscapes. But mostly, I reveled in getting to know Puck from his point of view. Fans of the Iron Fey had known the happy go lucky jester, but not all of his past nor the deep down emotional wounds he’s suffered. I loved how well Miss Kagawa developed his character and can’t wait to get to read more.
“Not getting killed by beautiful assassins is something I aspire to every day.” ~ Puck
Of course, there are several other important characters like Nyx, a Forgotten moon elf and skilled assassin, bodyguard of Keirran, son of Ash and Megan, rulers of the Iron Realm. She’s smart, funny with her own sad backstory and perfect for Puck. And of course an Iron Fey story couldn’t be without the Iron Queen, Ice-boy and the infamous Grimalkin.

It has been a while since I've ran into Robin Goodfellow. So I was very excited to dive into
The Iron Raven. Especially since it has been on my TBR for a year - exactly a year. After diving into this, I'll admit that things were okay. I liked seeing everyone from Julie's previous series but I was also really worried about Robin and the world.
The darkness throughout this definitely kept everyone on their toes - including me. I just kept hoping things were going to get better and that Robin would fight the evil that was lurking within him. It helped that the people who knew him the best could easily see that something was different about him.
I also really liked getting to meet Nyx in this. She definitely brought something different to the story and the world. I can't wait for their next adventure since Meghan's kid is now missing. I'm excited for the sequel but hate waiting at the same time.
So, in the end, I guess I'll just keep twiddling my thumbs until the next book lands in my lap.

OMFG its Puck's story!!!! You don't even know how fucking excited I am!!! The Iron Fey stories were basically some of my favorite books when I was a teenager.
