The Iron King-Julie Kagawa


When strange things occur on her sixteenth birthday, Meghan Chase finds out that her best friend Robbie isn't who she thinks he is and that faeries exist. Robbie turns out to Robin Goodfellow a.k.a. Puck (like from A Midsummer Night's Dream). After school she goes home to see her mother on the floor and her brother turned evil, replaced by a changeling. Her mother's fine, though that doesn't mean all is right. Meghan and Puck go to Faeryland to get her brother back. Along the way she meets a cat (or a cait sith) named Grimalkin, who can talk. The cat leads her to the Seelie court after she was ditched by Puck. There she finds out that she is Oberon's daughter, a half-breed fey. During Elysium she meets (again) the youngest prince of the Unseelie Court, Ash. He has an oath to kill Puck. All lot of stuff happens after that so I will just list now.
-Meghan's elfish aspects show.
-The go to the Winter (Unseelie) Court and are in a manor and Puck lets Meghan try some kind of fruit that makes her drunk.
-Meghan and Grim go to a club in Detroit because a trod is in it.
-Meghan gives up a memory to get info from an Oracle in New Orleans (She lives in Louisiana too)
-Meghan and Puck (who's hurt) and Ash go to meet some dryads in some park and get the special wood that could kill the Iron King who kidnapped her brother.
-They get attack by an Iron fey named Virus.
-They go to the Iron Court, which is like a wasteland of technology.
I'm not even going to go on. So much happen in this book, I can't remember how it did. Anyway, Robbie/Puck is so funny. I like him. Ash is okay.
I love the cover, don't you?
