About this listen

After the last Faerie Civil War, the leaders of the magickal pantheons stripped the shining Seelie Court of its power and tasked the dark Unseelie Court with maintaining the natural balance of the world. Ages later, a twisted intrigue throws the balance of all Faerie into ruin and ignites a new civil war.

Discounted by his family and haunted in the Unseelie sidhe, Queen Mab's youngest son, Lugh, leads the Wild Hunt on quests across the dangerous Wylds. At his side is his best friend, Keiran, a Viking rescued from death centuries earlier. Between Lugh's uncanny gift for being in the right place at the right time and Keiran's power of persuasion, they're revered across the Wylds - as long as Lugh keeps his true identity hidden from the people of the Sluagh.

Keiran and Lugh have loved each other for centuries - as friends and brothers in arms. Lugh has long since put aside his romantic love for Keiran to protect their friendship. But with the looming war in Faerie and the ghosts of the dead dogging Lugh's every move, Keiran realizes there may be room for romance between them after all, if only they can survive.

Contains mature themes.

Enjoyed this audiobook, I have to say that it wasn’t as good as the first two.

The storyline took a lot of concentration as it switched from past to present, ghosts of past and present.
It probably wasn’t until I got to chapter 12 where I actually started to enjoy it. Probably because it started where book 2 ended.

The only other negative comment I have to say is WHY was John Solo narrating in a Northern/Yorkshire accent?
I haven’t heard anywhere in all three audiobooks that suggests that the characters were of northern decent.
After all, I think Finney was the only student at a London university that was from the countryside, but then, I don’t recall it saying where.

Just a little distracting narrating like an American but characters in Yorkshire accents - bizarre 🤔
Had to listen to the end to find out what happened and the battle scenes were amazingly descriptive and definitely worth the wait.

What happens now?? Who knows - Are there going to be any future plans for the brothers?

A definite must hear (audiobook) to finish of this particular chapter 👍😊😊

Enjoyable

Interesting story with likeable characters and good narration. There are a few things that don't make sense but I expect that they'll be covered in future books.

Great series

There are plenty of fantasy series I've read over the decades that manage to ruin a fabulous build up at the finish line. Thankfully this isn't one of those. The Iron Crown brings the Darkest Court to an incredible edge of your seat conclusion. This book, like the previous ones, has everything! Angst, romance, humour, fantasy, war! If you enjoyed the first two books, you will LOVE this one. And expect the long awaited return of our other princes and consorts as the Faerie as we know it balances on the brink of civil war. You will not be disappointed!

As for the audio reading, John Solo has also surpassed himself with this final book. His character voices throughout this series face been phenomenal and he hasn't let me down with this final installment. Bringing all of the characters from the previous books together he has stayed true to their voices, accents and the Gaelic pronunciations. Never before have I loved a narrator as much as the author but John is a legend in his own right and these books have truly come into their own thanks to his fantastic work.

What a finale!!

I didn't take as much notice with this book ,I felt the story was weak in places and the narrators accents were very dodgy .

Not as good as the first two
