Waiting On Wednesday is from Jill, at Breaking the Spine.
The Iron Knight by Julie Kagawa
Unless he can earn a soul.
To cold, emotionless faery prince Ash, love was a weakness for mortals and fools. His own love had died a horrible death, killing any gentler feelings the Winter prince might have had. Or so he thought.
Then Meghan Chase—a half human, half fey slip of a girl— smashed through his barricades, binding him to her
irrevocably with his oath to be her knight. And when all of Faery nearly fell to the Iron fey, she severed their bond to save his life. Meghan is now the Iron Queen, ruler of a realm where no Winter or Summer fey can survive.
With the (unwelcome) company of his archrival, Summer Court prankster Puck, and the infuriating cait sith Grimalkin, Ash begins a journey he is bound to see through to its end— a quest to find a way to honor his solemn vow to stand by Meghan’s side.
To survive in the Iron realm, Ash must have a soul and a mortal body. But the tests he must face to earn these things are impossible. At least, no one has ever passed to tell the tale.
And then Ash learns something that changes everything. A truth that turns reality upside down, challenges his darkest beliefs and shows him that, sometimes, it takes more than courage to make the ultimate sacrifice.
Ash, former prince of the Winter Court, gave up everything. His title, his home, even his vow of loyalty. All for a girl… and all for nothing.

Okay. If you read my raving review at all, you'd know how excited/thrilled/antsy/ECSTATIC I am to read this book. Seriously. Couldn't be more excited. This is one series where my interest skyrocketed (The Iron King was a bit shaky for me, then The Iron Daughter had me hooked.). So now I'm as loyal a fan as ever; I love to see a story progress as much as this one has.
....Oh, and have I mentioned they put it up on NetGalley?!
This just got put on NetGalley! sadly I haven't read any of the series so I wont be requesting it, but I'm sure many people are =]

ReplyDeleteGreat pick! I can't wait for this one.
ReplyDeleteThis one is a great choice. I haven't read any of the books yet but I know there are so many fans of the series that I want to know what the hype is about. Hopefully I'll be able to get around to reading The Iron King sometime soon.
ReplyDeleteThe summary is now on Goodreads! It's AWESOME, go check it out :P. I can't wait for this, it sounds like it's going to be one of the best in the series yet.
ReplyDeleteYES! Love this series and I can't wait for it to come out! Oh, I forgot! It's on Netgalley! Come see what I'm waiting on:

Awesome pick!
I haven't even read this series and I'm excited for this one! lol! I figure I'll wait until they are all out and just plow through the whole series at once! :) Great choice!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read this series, since they aren't really my thing but I've heard they're really good. Plus, the covers are super beautiful. I'm happy to see they are changing the cover now and putting a guy. Ash? Puck? I don't know! Lol I'm following you now, too! Last time I visited your blog, I spend some time reading your grammar bit posts. :)
