Review: Awesome! Read this before THE LOST PRINCE.

Iron's Prophecy was one of the most exciting short stories Julie Kagawa has ever written. Rather than creating a bridge between two story lines that is unessential to the plot, Kagawa essentially gives us a very important prologue to the Iron Fey: Call of the Forgotten series.While we get to see our favorite characters from the Iron Fey series, the important part of the novel is the prophecy they receive because it sets the tone for the spinoff series. While the prophecy is never specifically addressed in The Lost Prince (the first novel in the Iron Fey: Call of the Forgotten series), it is the driving force behind a few of the mysteries in the novel.While you don't necessarily have to read Iron's Prophecy in order to follow the events in The Lost Prince it would certainly behoove you to do so. There are a lot of subtle references and wary looks between the older characters that you will not understand unless you have read this novella. It is action packed and exciting and I thoroughly enjoyed it. After finishing Iron's Prophecy, you will most likely want to immediately pick up The Lost Prince.
