 Disclaimer: I LOVE the Iron Fey series. I loved watching Julie Kagawa grow as a writer with each and every book and fell love with every character. When I finished the last page of the Iron Prince, there may or may not have been a few tears. I was happy to find out that with Kagawa's new spin off series - featuring Ethan, Meghan's brother - I didn't have to say goodbye to my beloved series quite yet. 
 Unlike Meghan. Ethan Chase has grown up fully aware of the Fey. He can see them and they can see him, and they won't give him any peace. He bounces around from city to city, school to school, hoping that each time, he'll find a fresh start and they'll simply leave him alone. It doesn't help that his sister has all but forgotten them, off in her own world of the Nevernever. But this time something's different. Something strange is happening and Ethan is forced to embark on a journey he had hoped to never take. 
 The Lost Prince takes us on yet another fairy infused adventure. It was reminiscent of the original series, with brief appearances of Ash and Puck and other beloved characters, but with enough of it's own substance, to feel like a different story unfolding. Julie Kagawa introduces a whole cast of new characters - both human and fey alike and you can't help but like them. They all seem so genuine, so earnest. Though I really liked Ethan, it was Kenzie, the lead female protagonist, that I was especially drawn to. She was so spunky, she reminded me of Meghan. And I liked her determined attitude and the way she would never take no for an answer. I'm also head over heels for Keirran. He was like a fantastic mixture of both Ash and Puck. And who among Iron Fey fans wouldn't want that? 
 I found that the mystery behind the conflict in this story, was a really interesting approach. As is the case in a few of Kagawa's other stories, tiny bits of the puzzle are revealed as the book progresses, but nothing really clicks until right before the big reveal. Then everything begins to make sense once again. I don't want to give anything away but I will say this - the opening of this new series, can lead to some very interesting ideas and questions and I for one can not wait to see how Julie Kagawa will explore them. 
 Final recommendation: An absolute must for Iron Fey fans. Those who haven't read the original series, are also more than welcome to give this one a shot but your reading experience will be richer if you check out Meghan's adventures first.
