Passing Grade - Galleysmith - Metro DC
This novella takes place in the aftermath of Kagawa's The Iron King just prior to the outset of The Iron Daughter. I'll say that my thoughts on these four chapters are strongly influenced by the fact that I actually read a galley of The Iron Daughter prior to reading Winter's Passage. So, I think that took away some of the anticipation and punch of reading these chapters.

Don't get me wrong, the novella definitely filled in some of the gaps between where we left off and where we picked back up, but I felt slightly ambivilent about it because I already knew where we were ultimately landing. This ambivalence in no way reflects on the quality of the writing (which was extremely good), the characterizations (which I still love) and the quick plot line (which provided additional information to what I read in Iron Daughter). This is all strictly on me!

What was great about this story was that for a girl who sits firmly on the side of Team Ash I got some awesome stuff. He was his usual seesawing self -- equal parts tender and brash. Then there was Meghan who gave as good as she got. Together they had another common enemy to defeat that should have united them. Whether it did or not I will not reveal simply to avoid spoiling both this story and some of the plot of The Iron Daughter. There was also a really great twist surrouding the common enemy that was towards the end of the novella. It took me by surprise which I really loved because I had no idea it was coming.

In the end I got enjoyment out of reading Winter's passage it offered some really great stuff to read. It was just a bit anti-cimactic given the order in which I read it. Moral of this story, definitely read Winter's Passage, it was as awesome as The Iron King, but definitely read it in order. Have Iron Daughter directly at your fingertips because you'll want to dive right in.
