Review: The Lost Prince by Julie Kagawa


Rating: 4/5 stars
Pub Date: October 23, 2012
Publisher: Harlequin Teen
Genre: young adult, fantasy (fairies/fae), romance
Format/Source: Hardcover, borrowed from the library
Status: Book 1 of The Iron Fey: Call of the Forgotten

Summary: 
Don’t look at Them. Never let Them know you can see Them.

That is Ethan Chase’s unbreakable rule. Until the fey he avoids at all costs—including his reputation—begin to disappear, and Ethan is attacked. Now he must change the rules to protect his family. To save a girl he never thought he’d dare to fall for.

Ethan thought he had protected himself from his older sister’s world—the land of Faery. His previous time in the Iron Realm left him with nothing but fear and disgust for the world Meghan Chase has made her home, a land of myth and talking cats, of magic and seductive enemies. But when destiny comes for Ethan, there is no escape from a danger long, long forgotten.


Review:
 I really enjoyed The Lost Prince. I find it a little weird that I like it somewhat better than the original series (with the exception of "Summer's Crossing", which was awesome), but there are some reasons why I'm not surprised. If you have read the third Iron Fey short story "Iron's Prophecy", a lot of The Lost Prince is already going to be spoiled for you, namely 1. the big reveal in regards to Kierran and 2. the hints that Ethan picks up about him.  So if you don't mind my discussing those things and some other small-ish spoilery parts of the book, join me below the cut.
