In My Mailbox - 27 & Sunday Post - 18

In My Mailbox is a weekly post hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren where bloggers can discuss the books we got in the mail this week.

Starflower (Tales of Goldstone Wood, # 4)

By: Anne Elisabeth Stengl

Published: November 1st 2012 by Bethany House

400 pages

Source: ARC via Publisher (THANK YOU!!!)

( Goodreads | Amazon)

Goodreads description--When a cursed dragon-witch kidnaps the lovely Lady Gleamdren, Eanrin sets boldly forth on a rescue mission...and a race against his rival for Gleamdren's favor. Intent upon his quest, the last thing the immortal Faerie needs is to become mixed up with the troubles of an insignificant mortal.

But when he stumbles upon a maiden trapped in an enchanted sleep, he cannot leave her alone in the dangerous Wood Between. One waking kiss later, Eanrin suddenly finds his story entangled with that of young Starflower. A strange link exists between this mortal girl and the dragon-witch. Will Starflower prove the key to Lady Gleamdren's rescue? Or will the dark power from which she flees destroy both her and her rescuer?

The Iron King (The Iron Fey, # 1)

By: Julie Kagawa

Published: February 1st 2010 by Harlequin Teen

363 pages

( Goodreads | Amazon )

Goodreads description--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.

Iron's Prophecy (The Iron Fey, # 4.5)

By: Julie Kagawa

( Goodreads | Amazon )

Goodreads description--Meghan Chase is finally getting used to being the Iron Queen, ruler of the Iron Fey. Her life may be strange, but with former Winter prince Ash by her side at last, she wouldn’t have it any other way.

But when they travel to the Summer and Winter courts’ gathering for Elysium, the oracle from Meghan’s past returns with a dire prophecy: “What you carry will either unite the courts, or it will destroy them.” Now Meghan faces a devastating choice that may determine the future of all fey—and her and Ash’s unborn child…

The Lost Prince (The Iron Fey: Call of the Forgotten, # 1) **Extended Excerpt**

By: Julie Kagawa

Published: October 23rd 2012 by Harlequin Teen

379 pages

Source: Personal Kindle Library (Got as a freebie here.)

( Goodreads | Amazon )

Goodreads description--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.

  12. Oh enjoy the Iron Fey, Meghan gets a little annoying, especially in Book 2 but stick with it, lots of fun. I agree about Raven Boys, Mggie's writing was missing the magic!

  20. Great books this week!!!

    Looking forward to you League of Strays review. I read it last month and really enjoyed it!

    ReplyDelete
  21. I really need to finish The Iron Fey series. And I'm sad to see The Raven Boys wasn't your favorite, I really hope I'll like it.

    Anyway, great books. Happy reading!

  22. I'm going to be a joiner and say that I love the Iron Fey series too! :) Book 2 is kind of slow but it picks right back up after that. I'm looking forward to reading what you thought about League of Strays - it seems to be one of those love/hate books for wildly different reasons.

    Have a wonderful week - no taking too much time off, you have to slave away, it's book blogger's law!
