After escaping from the clutches of the deadly Iron fey, Meghan must follow through on her promise to return to the equally dangerous Winter Court with her forbidden love, Prince Ash. But first, Meghan has one request: that they visit Puck--Meghan's best friend and servant of her father, King Oberon--who was gravely injured defending Meghan from the Iron Fey.

Yet Meghan and Ash's detour does not go unnoticed. They have caught the attention of an ancient, powerful hunter--a foe that even Ash may not be able to defeat... (Source)

Review
WINTER'S PASSAGE, by Julie Kagawa, answered some essential questions that I pondered after reading The Iron King and The Iron Daughter. I really enjoy when authors complete the "fillers" in between books, and this novella was no different!

In this story, we take the journey to Tir Na Nog with Meghan and Ash. The imminent separation between these two lovebirds looms over them as they first check the status of Puck's health and then continue on to meet Queen Mab. Grimalkin meets up with them again and the trio senses an expected follower. The Hunter has a special task to fulfill and Meghan is the main target. I liked the added character of the Hunter, it added the element of danger and suspense that Kagawa is known for in this series. It was easy for me to jump back into this book. Kagawa has a truly unique writing style and I quickly fell into step for this short and sweet continuation of The Iron King.

How awesome is the cover? I like how it keeps a little of The Iron King  and The Iron Daughter "feel" but it stands out on its own.
