Bookreview: The iron king by Julie Kawaga

Hello everyone! Today I have a new bookreview for you! This last week, I have been obsessed with the Iron King by Julie Kagawa. This is the first book in "The Iron Fey" series. I got all four books at thesame time. They looked quite beautiful and interesting, and the reviews also gave me good hopes.

Now that I've read the first book, I know it's good and I think I will enjoy the other books as well.

First of all.... How beautiful is the cover? Lots of great details, beautiful colours, it just looks so magical and inspiring! I know you should never judge a book by it's cover, but doesn't a beautiful cover help?

"Meghan Chase has a secret destiny; one she could never have imagined.

Something has always felt slightly off in Meghan's life, ever since her father disappeared before her eyes when she was six. She has never quite fit in at school or at home.

When a dark stranger begins watching her from afar, and her prankster best friend becomes strangely protective of her, Meghan senses that everything she's known is about to change.

But she could never have guessed the truth - that she is the daughter of a mythical faery king and is a pawn in a deadly war. Now Meghan will learn just how far she'll go to save someone she cares about, to stop a mysterious evil, no faery creature dare face; and to find love with a young prince who might rather see her dead than let her touch his icy heart."

Oh my god you guys. I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed this first book. There are no words. Suprise after surprise you get to know the world Meghan now lives in. The book is easy to read but it's not too childish. It's easy to understand and feel for all the characters as well.
As for the prince with the icy heart... Well, you'll just have to find out how you feel about him on your own!

I absolutely loved this book, I think Julie did a really great job!
Thanks for reading!

NEW IN: The Iron Fey series!

One of my new years resolutions is to read and write more. It's simple and easy, but setting achievable goals are the first step toward self improvement, I believe, so here I am.

It's a bit sad how little I've read in 2013, knowing I've been a bookworm for the last couple of years. 

Time to change that! I decided I want to read at least one book a week.

I might not always be able to read a lot, especially during exams or when it's really busy at work, but I'm going to try it and I'm so excited! I have a pile of books waiting for me to open and enjoy them, but as a little extra motivation, I got this series called "The Iron Fey series" by Julie Kagawa. It's a young adult thriller/fantasy book and I thought it looked especially appealing. I just hope it's not written in a too childish way, because that's often a little something with fantasy books, but I have good expectations!

So yeah, last year there weren't too many book reviews but hopefully this year it will change. I'm really excited to see if I will be able to read at least 52 books this year (I've done it before but I was only starting high school then - now I'm finishing high school so it's much much busier!).

Have you read this series? Are there any books/series you could recommend? Thanks for reading!
