Once, when I picked up a book from the local library, the librarian asked to tell her what I thought about the book when I would bring it back. Well, why not write a few lines about all the books I read so everybody could see what I thought about it? I'm often also happy to have friends recommend a certain book or tell me this and that is not really worth reading. I won't comment about the tons of books I have read so far, but about books I read from now on.

This fourth book in the Iron Fey Saga is written in the eyes of Ash, the (former) Winter Prince. If this is the first book of this series, then please go back and start reading them in the correct order, which will make things clear. Starting out so far along in the whole story, you'd probably be confused and missing out a lot.
At the end of the last book, Ash has made a promise to Meghan, one she did not ask for, though. As promised, Ash sets out to find a way to set foot in the Iron Realm without being poisoned by all the iron. Puck, his arch enemy and at the same time best friend accompanies him. Together they come to places in the wyldwood they both have never been before. They gain a new new friend and protector and find a long lost love. But they also find tasks lying ahead which are tougher than what they ever experienced. Tasks and fights requiring their combined effort to barely survive. Even the invincible Ash hits his limits and finds out that he's not absolutely invincible after all, and neither so cold or able to shutout all feelings. The quest is demanding, dangerous, bringing them to their limit, and not all of them return alive.
A very good read, gradually showing another side of Ash, a transformation of the former Winter Prince and a glimpse into the past, long before Meghan came into play. Also the reasons behind the combined friendship/hate-relationship between Ash and Puck become more clear.
