At last, we are treated to Ashs story. Ash has been kicked out of the winter court, and he is also unable to be by Meghans side. Meghan Chase is now the Queen of the Iron Fey, and like all other Fey, Ash cannot exist around iron. So, Ash makes a vow to Meghan and himself - he will find a way back to her if its the last thing he does. After all, he has vowed to be her knight.
This is a novel of constant action. There is almost never a moment where the reader can just sit back and go whew." In THE IRON KNIGHT, Ash, with no doing of his own, assembles a band of the most unlikely companions. His bitter enemy, Puck, wont leave his side, no matter how fiercely Ash taunts him. The fickle cait sith, Grimalkin, ever complaining, joins in on the quest. Ashs mother sends surprise help, and a girl, long thought dead, assists as well.
Ash realizes that the only way he can survive in the iron realm is to be mortal. With this group in tow, Ash seeks a rumored place where he will face perilous trials in an attempt to become mortal. He must give up everything he knows in order to honor his vow to Meghan.
The trials that Ash faces are far too interesting to give away in a review. The tests he face make him seriously ponder his decision and decide once and for all whether being Fey or being with Meghan is more important.
Ive always been a fan of Ash, so I was extremely excited to see a novel devoted entirely to him. Of course, the bickering with Puck is here in full force, but there is much more to Ash than the cold, brooding nature that has been seen in the rest of the series. Ash is a strong, noble Fey bound and determined to keep a promise he made. I devoured the novel while at the beach and hope that this isnt the last of THE IRON FEY series. After all, theres still Puck to discover!

I didn't like this book as well as the others in the series but maybe that's because Meghan Chase wasn't in it. This is Ashallayn'darkmyr "Ash" Tallyn's quest to return to Meghan and the Iron Kingdom. Ash, being the last prince of the winter court, cannot abide iron and Meghan has exiled him from her court for his own good. But love is a many splendid things and Ash will not be without his woman for long. He has vowed to find a way to be with her forever and he embarks on a perilous journey, with Puck of all people. Once his best friend Robin "Puck" Goodfellow now frenemy, loves Meghan so much that he has sacrificed his own happiness to help Ash find a way to stay with her. Puck had something to do with Ash's first girlfriend, Ariella's death. This book finally tells the story of what happened that separated Ash and Puck.
There are some interesting twists and surprises along their some times boring journey to the end of the world and beyond. Though I enjoyed reading about the weird animals that kept attacking them, I did find myself thinking "get on with it already". All in all a satisfying conclusion to the Iron Fey series though I would have liked a little Meghan in this conclusion to HER series!
