The Books: Winter’s Passage (Iron Fey 1.5) and Summer’s Crossing (Iron Fey 3.5) by Julie Kagawa
The Info: Both are published by Harlequin Teen; Winter’s Passage is 59 pages, while Summer’s Crossing is 72 pages; both are only available as e-books
The Summary: Winter’s Passage takes place between The Iron King and The Iron Daugher. It’s about Ash escorting Meghan to the Winter Court. Summer’s Crossing takes place between The Iron Queen and The Iron Knight. It’s about Ash going to the Summer Court in order to retrieve something Titania stole from Leansidhe.
First up: Summer’s Crossing. It was interesting to see the favor Ash had to pay back, and I liked it more than I thought I would. Ash and Puck without Meghan? That was interesting. Their dynamic has always been interesting, but without Meghan? It’s amazing they didn’t try to kill each other. It gets a 4 out of 5.
As for Winter’s Passage, I liked it, but not as much as the rest of the series. There was something very familiar about it, like I had read it before. Like it was cut from The Iron Daughter or something. I didn’t feel like it added anything to the series- it was just there. It gets a 3 out of 5.
Reading Books With Coffee 
I read Summer’s Crossing and I loved the whole Puck-Ash dynamic away from Meghan. Sadly, I haven’t been able to read Winter’s Crossing because I don’t have an e-book reader and I didn’t learn of it in time to get the free download. Oh well, apparently these two novellas plus one other are going to be published (in print) by Harlequin soon.
I’m glad you loved Summer’s Crossing too! I’m always hesitant to read any of the novellas that come out, because I’m always worried they won’t live up to the original series. But this time, I’m glad I did! Thanks for your comment!
