Book Review: The Iron Knight


The Iron Knight

by Julie Kagawa
Series: The Iron Fey #4
Release date: 25th October 2011
Publisher: HarlequinTeen
Pages: 386 (ARC NetGalley)

Summary from Goodreads:

Ash, former prince of the Winter Court, gave up everything. His title, his home, even his vow of loyalty. All for a girl… and all for nothing.

Unless he can earn a soul.

To cold, emotionless faery prince Ash, love was a weakness for mortals and fools. His own love had died a horrible death, killing any gentler feelings the Winter prince might have had. Or so he thought.

Then Meghan Chase—a half human, half fey slip of a girl— smashed through his barricades, binding him to her irrevocably with his oath to be her knight. And when all of Faery nearly fell to the Iron fey, she severed their bond to save his life. Meghan is now the Iron Queen, ruler of a realm where no Winter or Summer fey can survive.

With the (unwelcome) company of his archrival, Summer Court prankster Puck, and the infuriating cait sith Grimalkin, Ash begins a journey he is bound to see through to its end— a quest to find a way to honor his solemn vow to stand by Meghan’s side.

To survive in the Iron realm, Ash must have a soul and a mortal body. But the tests he must face to earn these things are impossible. At least, no one has ever passed to tell the tale.

And then Ash learns something that changes everything. A truth that turns reality upside down, challenges his darkest beliefs and shows him that, sometimes, it takes more than courage to make the ultimate sacrifice.

Same covers... can they do this?!

Ok, I have a BIG question here and I'd love some insight in the matter. I found out that the AU version of "The Goddess Test" ( Link Goodreads ) and "The Vespertine" ( Link Goodreads ) are the SAME cover with slightly different colors but, come on, it's the same picture but only closer...
Can the publishers do this? I know they are from different countries but still, I wonder if this is normal...

But, if you want to see the covers without going to Goodreads here they are:


I would really love to hear you opinion about this.
