![]() She's looking for Kierran, the king of the Forgotten, and Puck found him first. ![]() A fight breaks out between redcaps and a very old faery named Nxy. ![]() In THE IRON RAVEN, the goblin market is supposed to be a safe place for all of Faery to do business. When he deals with his emotions instead of burying them, he overcomes them. Puck must deal with his more sinister impulses here, brought out by a mind-manipulating monster. There are handfuls each of swear words "hell," "ass," "s-t," and "bastard," and versions of "damn," and three times "mofo" is used to describe a nasty monster. Expect some kissing and innuendo (especially jokes about Puck being "horny" when he grows horns). One minor character takes its own life with a sword, and there's one story about a main character who was forced to kill her lover. The creatures disintegrate when they die. ![]() Puck and friends encounter many creatures in the various faery lands and kill plenty in skirmishes that use swords and lots of magic. Author Julie Kagawa does a good job explaining her faery world to fresh readers and the main character, Puck, may already be familiar because of his appearance in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. You don't need to read that series to get into this one. Parents need to know that The Iron Raven is the first book in the Evenfall series, which is a spin-off of the seven-volume Iron Fey series, which starts with The Iron King. ![]() Did you know you can flag iffy content?
