As I stated before I'm on Team Ash!! Julie Kagawa, author of the Iron Fey trilogy, is finding out who her fans like more Puck or Ash in her latest contest! Here is my quote that Gail (the Co-Captain for Team Ash) took:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I love Ash because he is an epitome of a bad boy with a sweet side. It makes me want to be the girl, he would do anything for, even if that means breaking the rules he's grown up with. Plus I love reading about the instant connection he has with Meghan. *sigh*

You can see more about Team Ash and what other had to say about him here! YAY for Team Ash!!
Have you read "The Iron King" [The Iron Fey Series, Book 1] by Julie Kagawa or any of the books in the Iron Fey Series yet? If not then you better get a move on! It is a wonderful and addicting series, and with the first three books being about Meghan and the fourth (also it's the upcoming book) book being about Ash you'll need to read the first three to really understand what is going to happen, I believe. If you enjoy YA Paranormal novels then I don't think you'll regret reading this series!! =0)

"The Iron Knight" [The Iron Fey Series, Book 4] by Julie Kagawa
Book Teaser:
"Well," the witch said, curling bloodless lips to a smile at us. Crooked yellow teeth flashed in the light like jagged bits of bone. "What do we have here? Two handsome faery boys, come to visit a poor old woman. And if my eyes don't deceive me, that's Robin Goodfellow I see before me. The last I saw of you, you stole my broom and tied my house's legs so it fell over when we tried to catch you!"
I repressed another sigh. This wasn't starting well. ~ within Chapter 1 - titled 'The House Of The Bone Witch'

"The Iron Knight" [The Iron Fey Series, Book 4] by Julie Kagawa
My Book Summary : Around the end of "The Iron Queen," Meghan sends Ash away from the Iron Realm but before he finally leaves, he gives her an Oath, saying that he'll find a way to return to her and be her knight. This whole story is about how he can complete that Oath to her. Find a way to be there for her as a protector and a companion. However, Ash knows he cannot do this alone so he has his arch-nemesis, Puck, and an annoying "always right" cait sith, Grimalkin, with him. As well as two other comrades--one who is a person from both Puck and Ash's past and another who is usually an enemy.
Will Ash be able to complete his journey and following quests and trials, and make it back to Meghan? Can he also do so while being unharmed and not go insane, like they say most do? Or will something come into his life and completely change the path he is on for good?
My Book Review : 5 out of 5 stars!! "The Iron Knight" wraps up this wonderfully awesome series, and I was captivated and entertained so much in this story that I didn't want to put it down!! This book kept me jumping from the beginning from all of the twists that the author throws in it!! I was SOOO surprised with how it gives you multiple endings, in a way, that leave you reeling because your not sure if that's definitely going to happen or not. In addition, I LOVED how the character roles played out, how you get to really an in depth background for Ash but you also get a new appreciation for Puck.
If you are a fan of the Iron Fey series you should LOVE this book as much as I did, especially if you are on Team Ash like I am!! =0)
Author Extras : Check out Julie's Blog where she has everything from a Sims Series Saga of the Iron Fey Characters to teasers from her books to just about anything and everything she can think of ...
"Hmm. Hey, Ice-boy, hold these for a second, will ya?" Puck asked, holding out the mushroom kebabs. Frowning, I took them, and he struck me upside the head, not hard, but solid enough to rock me forward a step. "Stop being so damned fatalistic," he said as I turned on him with a snarl. "If I didn't want to be here, I wouldn't be. And you know you can't do it all by your lonesome, ice-boy. Sooner or later, you're going to have to start trusting us."
I laughed at him then, bitter and self-mocking. "Trust," I said flatly. "Trust requires the faith of both parties, Goodfellow." ~ within Chapter 9 - titled 'In Dreams'
