There’s a dark hopelessness to his character that I think is very natural and realistic, given his situation. He started out as a sweet, innocent child but after dealing with faeries for over a decade, he’s become bitter and isolated. I hoped that this spin-off series, focusing on Meghan’s younger brother, would capture my interest anew, because the focus would finally be off Ash and his wife.Īs a character, I appreciate Ethan. Several of the secondary character made me smile, but the romantic leads were duds. But on the other, I found the two main characters of the original series, Meghan and Ash, to be unlikeable and often dreadfully dull. On the one hand, I love the Nevernever and the faery realms I love the mix of traditional fairy mythology and the new, modern “iron” race.
The Iron Fey series has always evoked mixed emotions in me. When a half-faerie classmate named Todd disappears, Ethan prepares to return to the Nevernever to inform Meghan of the danger. But isolation is not the answer, Ethan realizes, when he gets sucked into a battle against a new kind of fey that lives off the glamor of others. They’ve gotten him kicked out of school with their little “pranks” and they torment his friends, so Ethan has decided that the only way to protect others is to become a complete loner. She claims it’s for their protection, but Ethan doubts it – especially since he is constantly plagued by faeries to this day. That’s great for her, but Ethan hates that his sister abandoned her human family when she left to rule the Iron Kingdom.
Now Meghan reigns over her faery court with her consort Ash. Not only did Meghan succeed in rescuing her brother, she overthrew the Iron King and took the throne herself.
