Her only friend, Robbie, comes with his own quirks, and her half-brother, Ethan, seems to be the only member of her family who can actually remember her. At school, she’s bullied, at home, she’s forgotten. The Iron King follows sixteen-year-old Meghan Chase, who never quite feels like she belongs. Like Holly Black, Melissa Marr, and Aprilynne Pike, Julie Kagawa threw her hat in the fairy ring with The Iron King. There were vampires, of course, and some werewolves thrown in there for good measure, but a distinct branch of the paranormal romance craze in YA belonged to the Fair Folk. This is important to note because the massive success of the Twilight series busted the young adult world wide open, ushering in dozens of attempts to fill the Edward Cullen-shaped hole in readers’ hearts. The Iron King by Julie Kagawa came out in 2010, just five years after the publication of the first Twilight novel, and two years before the movie adaptation.
