Iron Bones is book three in The Wild Hunt series by Yasmine Galenorn. There’s a lot of action as warring factions collide and we dive deeper into Ember’s heritage.
This series does need to be read in order. Each novel builds on the other and we dive deeper into the world and characters.
Ember is a relatable heroine and we leaning more about her in each book. We also get to learn more about the other characters like Angel who’s an empath and Ember’s BFF. Herne who is a demigod stag shifter and Ember’s love interests. Then we have Talia a harpy, Viktor a half ogre, and Yutani a coyote shifter. It’s gloriously fun to learning about these characters and see how well they work together. I also really enjoy that they help those less fortunate.
The mystery they are working on is interesting. It comes directly from Herne’s dad labeling it a code red. Fae on both sides are dying and there seems to be no stopping it.
As we dive into the case Ember’s heritage comes too light. Her heritage begins to evolve and she’s developing new powers from both sides of her family (dark & light). She’s got some big changes coming her way and will need all the help she can get to master her new gifts.
The romance is subtle and progressing nicely. Herne shows Ember how much he loves her in big and small ways. It was nice to see. We are also treated to some sexy times between our couple.
Iron Bones was another entertaining and thrilling read. I had a blast! This Urban Fantasy series is full of adventure, mystery, suspense, remarkable characters, and hints of romance. It’s everything I enjoy and I can’t wait to read on.
Rated: 4 Stars
Ms. Galenorn’s imagination knows no bounds. I thoroughly enjoy this new series.The Wild hunt series is taking me places I never thought I would go.
It would be best to start with The Silver Stag and Oak & Thorns (The Wild Hunt Book 2) for the interesting and important character and world development. A lot has happened in the first two books. Now, Ember (mixed light and dark fae), Herne (a demigod stag shifter), Angel (empath) and the Wild Hunt team, Talia (a harpy), Viktor (half ogre), and Yutani (a coyote shifter), are back for another adventure, briefly described in the introductory welcome. Ember’s heritage begins to evolve as she approaches Cruharach and develops new powers. She learns about her family line inherited from her mother and father, quite a bizarre mix. She will need teaching and training and guidance from both Cernunnos and Morgana if she is to survive Cruharach. A plague is killing Fae of both courts. The Team must determine the cause and find a cure. Ember’s Cruharach is rapidly approaching.
There is a lot of action, sometimes quite violent, as warring factions collide and there are a few heavy sex episodes between Ember and Herne. Although not a cliff-hanger, the ending definitely makes you wish for more – fortunately available in Book 4, A Shadow of Crows (Wild Hunt Book 4).
Wonderful story, neat viewpoint on the Fae, shifters, etc. Fun series to read.
Great summer read, love the characters
