Winter's Passage by Julie Kagawa

Ok, I lied. I found out there's a novella between The Iron King and The Iron Daughter and, as it was only 60 pages long, I pretty much inhaled it. Here we go!


What the back of the book says:
"Meghan Chase used to be an ordinary girl...until she discovered that she is really a faery princess. After escaping from the clutches of the deadly Iron fey, Meghan must follow through on her promise to return to the equally dangerous Winter Court with her forbidden love, Prince Ash. But first, Meghan has one request: that they visit Puck--Meghan's best friend and servant of her father, King Oberon--who was gravely injured defending Meghan from the Iron Fey.
Yet Meghan and Ash's detour does not go unnoticed. They have caught the attention of an ancient, powerful hunter--a foe that even Ash may not be able to defeat...."

What I have to say about it:
Well, it's a novella. It was cute, and Grimalkin was there! (Win!) Of course, there was Ash and Meghan and some romance there, but not much. I find it interesting how much Meghan seems to throw the "I love you" deal around, but Ash doesn't reciprocate. And Meghan doesn't notice, I guess. And the book completely lacks Puck, as he's seriously injured from a fight in the first book. There's much less comic relief for it, unless you count Grim.
But anyways, there's a dangerous foe chasing them, Ash vows to protect Meghan, there's danger and a couple kissing scenes and a rather anti-climactic fight scene. And then we get led into the next book, The Iron Daughter.
I mean, if you're reading the series, you might as well pick this one up. Or download it, as it's a free eNovella. Certainly nothing as fantastic as the actual books, but I'm okay with that. My mind would be officially blown if it was.
