A Midsummer’s Nightmare? Robin Goodfellow. Puck. Summer Court prankster, King Oberon’s right hand, bane of many a faery queen’s existence—and secret friend to Prince Ash of the Winter Court. Until one girl’s death came between them, and another girl stole both their hearts.
Now Ash has granted one favor too many and someone’s come to collect, forcing the prince to a place he cannot go without Puck’s help—into the heart of the Summer Court. And Puck faces the ultimate choice—betray Ash and possibly win the girl they both love, or help his former friend turned bitter enemy pull off a deception that no true faery prankster could possibly resist.
Summer’s Crossing was a fun read in The Iron Fey series. It was a good tide over between The Iron Queen and The Iron Knight. While I didn’t enjoy it quite as much as the other books in the series, it was still a great novella.
I loved the action and story line. It definitely was great. I was really not sure how things would turn out – especially with all the twists Kagawa throws in there. I was not as crazy about the writing in this one – I think it was because Puck was the narrator and everything felt more like a joke.
Summer’s Crossing gave a lot of insight into characters. I felt like I got to know both Ash and Puck much better through their actions in Summer’s Crossing. I can’t wait to see how everything plays out in The Iron Knight following the action in this one.
This is a novella to definitely read. It was not my most favorite of Kagawa’s works thus far, but it is still a good read.
I like novellas because they provide new insight to different characters. I have read the first book of the Iron Fey series so I can't believe that I didn't know about this book. I look forward to reading this.
OMG! I love the Iron Fey Series! and I'm really jealous that you got Iron Knight already!!! I believe your reading this cause you'll be reading Iron Knight next? ohh my! I can't wait for it! I read this novella and it was perfectly awesome! I love Puck :))
I really liked this but I'm also a big fan of Puck so that probably helps :)
Thanks for the review! I've yet to read any of her novellas.
I enjoy these novellas because we get to experience a new side to the characters. Plus they tend to be a quick and fun read.
I like Novella because I like getting a different perspective then you get in the novel. I haven't heard much about this one though. I like Puck and I think he's funny so hopefully I'll enjoy this one.
I haven't read this books yet, I have them an they are in my pile of BTBR hope to read then all soon
read this one and puck totally owned it, isn't puck so lovable?
totally love the series, I like this novelette even if it's really short it shows more of Puck! I can't wait to read The Iron Knight!
