I have started this series backwards. This is the first book I have read and it is currently the last book in the series.
This is the story of how Ash resolves his past and his conflict with Puck on his quest to become mortal. He does this so that he can live in the Iron Kingdom with Meghan, the girl he is in love with.
While there is an awful lot of back-story that comes from having three books prior to this, I still didn't feel too lost reading this installment. Information is conveyed through recollections, dialog and dreams.
The pacing is great and the action sequences were well written. The dialog was extremely funny (especially when Puck was speaking). The characters are equally well done.
Now that I have read the HEA for two of these characters (Ash and Meghan) I hope that Julie Kagawa will write one for Puck as well. I also will be going back and reading this series starting with her first book The Iron King.

The Iron Knight is like The Wizard of Oz and Labyrinth on crack. An epic journey to become human leads Ash through dangerous trials and into mysterious, unknown places. Julie Kagawa's hauntingly descriptive writing weaves enchanting stories with fairy tale-like characters that the reader will remember for a long time.
