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.
An ebook exclusive novella from Julie Kagawa’s Iron Fey series.
Leave it to Julie Kagawa to tease me more while i hungrily wait for The Iron Knight!
This is a fun read, not to mention enlightening since this is Puck’s POV. The dilemma he’s having – by not helping Ash, Puck increases his chances of being with Meghan, but Ash is his one-time-friend, too – i feel for Puck. i really do. Somehow not leaving Ash to be killed in Summer’s territory is wrong, even for Puck. i liked that about him.
i also liked how Kagawa made me symphatize with Puck even if I am 100% Team Ash. Puck’s rarely vulnerable, but in Summer’s Crossing, Oberon capitalizes on that.
Not bad for a e-novella to occupy me before The Iron Knight. Puck is really one master trickster!
