Iron King by Julie Kagawa

Meghan Chase goes on a quest to find her little brother when she learns a changeling has taken his place at home.  Her best-friend Robbie, aka Puck, helps her as she travels through Nevernever the land of Fae; where they believe her brother has been taken.  She learns a lot about her herself through this quest and meets some unexpected friends along her journey .  She also meets Prince Ash from the Unseelie court who threatens, repeatedly, to kill her.  Although she originally plans to collect her brother and return to her normal life Meghan quick learns that things don't always turn out as she suspects.

Stories about the Faeries seem to be popular as of late and this series is no exception and it surely doesn't disappoint.  I had fun reading this story although the beginning was slow to get into.  Once on the ride I enjoyed the twists and turns of the plot.  The story makes for a believable tale.  Meghan encounters many obstacles that will either help or hurt her along the way as she attempts to rescue her brother from the evil Iron King.

If you like this book then try the next two in the series: Iron Daughter and Iron Queen!!!  

Iron Prince comes out in the Fall of 2011! I, personally, cannot wait for the fourth installment of this exciting series.
