The Iron Sword (The Fae War Chronicles Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Jocelyn Fox (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 1,535 ratings
"A swords-and-sorcery tale that dazzles..." -Kirkus Reviews

"THE IRON SWORD is a delightful start to a promising new fantasy series, and it's well worth a read, particularly for the reader who never outgrew the best fairy tales."- Catherine Langrehr for IndieReader

Tess O’Connor is looking forward to spending a relaxing few days in Texas away from college and civilization. Then she begins to have strange dreams about small, fierce fairies, and a mysterious, handsome Unseelie Knight shows up in the middle of the Hill Country with a summons from Queen Mab…for Tess’s best friend, Molly.

Whether Tess believes in the Fae or not, she can’t stand idly by while the Unseelie Knight spirits Molly away into a different world, and a split-second decision places the Unseelie Knight in Tess’s debt. With his honor at stake, the Knight breaks Queen Mab’s edict, bringing Tess into the Fae world along with Molly, and they are both swept into the dangerous intrigues of the Winter Court.

Queen Mab believes that Molly could fulfill an ancient prophesy about the Iron Sword, a weapon deadly to the Fae but wielded in centuries past by women descended from the druids and sworn to protect both the Fae and mortal worlds. With evil rising in the Fae world and as the mortal no one meant to be there, Tess faces threats from both within the Court and outside its walls. As Tess makes allies with outcasts and learns to fight with both swords and words, she must uncover her own destiny, and find the unlikely hero who may be able to save them all…

Contains mild fantasy violence, peril and a dash of romance (non-explicit). The start to a complete 7-book fantasy series, The Fae War Chronicles.

    Everything you want and expect in a book about the fae and lots more. At first you think it's about the friend of the heroine of the tale but you soon realise that our sidekick is the heroine and she is amazing. I can't wait to see what she dose next and where her journey takes her and the friends she's gathered.

    It takes a consummate skill to tell a tale only from first person viewpoint, which I'm afraid this author does not have. It's a shame, because the premise is good, the world holds together reasonably well, but the characters are overly concerned with appearances and are simply built, which makes them somewhat two-dimensional. If I could give advice to the author, then it would be to practice building characters and let them drive the plot.

    I've now read all 4 of this series (hopefully more to come soon) and enjoyed them. The characters are engaging and the plot arch good so far. Some more description of some of the settings would have been nice, but not essential. My only real criticisms are that I found it impossible to work out the geography - map please! - and even after 4 books I haven't got a clear picture in my head of what Tess looks like and that's a shame because the way she reacts to certain events (trying to avoid spoilers here) would be affected by her looks and physique.

    If I could give this book a dozen stars I would! It has been a long while since I have read a book that is as well written as this. I love the depth of the story, all the characters so well developed and run seamlessly throughout. I couldn't put it down, I will be buying book two today, so I can continue the adventure.

    The Iron Sword is an unforgettable ride full of magic, laughs, strength, and adventure. I could not put this book down! I only got 2 hours of sleep because I couldn't stop reading this one!

    We start off with college best friends Tess and Molly, who are spending Thanksgiving in Texas with Molly's family. Everything seems to be relaxing until Molly is summoned to the Unseelie court by Queen Mab herself. The Sidhe believe that Molly is the key to a prophesy in finding the iron sword and defeating an evil destroying their world. So when a sexy knight named Finnead comes to collect Molly, Tess insists on going with to help protect Molly. Little does Tess know how dangerous the world of the Sidhe can be and strong she might actually be.

    I've always loved reading about the Fae... or in this case Sidhe. There's just a beauty to them and their world that I seem to fall in love with every time. And Jocelyn, has completely reeled me in with her enticing story. She creates a world, characters, and creatures you cannot help but enjoy. Though I admit, I absolutely adored the romance in this book, there was so much more to this story. It wasn't focused around love, but more about strength, duty, and believing in yourself.

    Tess O'Connor throws herself into a world with nothing but trying to protect her best friend. I love her determination and her strength through out the whole story. Tess is thrown into a whole new world, she accepts it an ultimately finds herself. She always seems to have this confidence to her, that makes you want to be like her. Except, when it comes to the swoon-worth Finnead of course... then the confidence may hide. Finnead... oh man. You sexy dark haired, blue eyed, strong, protective boy you. I found myself easily falling for this boy. A knight + a motorcycle... hellllllo! Even when nothing yet had happened, I'd feel Tess's jealousy or longing right along with her. He's a knight, and you can easily see his strength and power he has. But, unlike the other knights, Finnead has a softness. And, I found his little jealous or self-sacrificing moments so adorable. I was rooting for Tess and Finnead throughout the whole magical story.

    Not only those two, but I found myself loving all the characters in some way. Ramel has this easy confidence and sexiness to him. You cannot help but smile when he's around. I also loved Wisp and all the glows. There's also Molly, Vell, Emery, and others you meet along the way that make this fantastic story what it is.

    As soon as The Iron Sword jumped into the action, it took a hold of me and pulled me into the adventure. As I stated before, I couldn't put this one down. It was addictive, fun, and thrilling. There were parts I laughed, parts I held my breathe, parts I was swooning over, parts with angst, and parts with sadness as well as happiness. This book has so much to offer, and I really hope more of the world reads it. My only complaint (and because I'm a cover freak) is, shouldn't the model on the cover be blonde? Or maybe it's supposed to be Molly? I don't know... but I do know that I am dying to read the next one. I cannot wait to follow Tess, Finnead, and crew as their journey continues on.

    I loved this book. An enthral lying world has been created, one that wraps tou up in its tendrils and won't let go. With none of the coyness of so many tales like this, where great secrets are hidden endlessly to the point of frustration, this novel takes you along for the ride.. I am Eager to read the next in the series!
