The Iron Knight (Iron Fey, #4)

by Julie Kagawa

As if any of the others I read in the past month could compare? This is my favorite book series, so of course it beat out all the others. It's very different from all the other books in the series, but because of that, it functions perfectly as a wind-down, sums-every-thing-up way to end the Iron Fey books. It's beautiful, hypnotic, dreamlike, magical... Just an overall humanly amazing read.

I just found this really cool book blogger meme and thought it'd be fun to join in! Usually, it's super easy to figure out what book I liked best from month to month. 

So, here's my pick for the "Best of the Bunch" book that I read during October 2011:

This Dark Endeavor by Kenneth Oppel

 

This book is fantastic! Just blew me away. But, since I haven't even reviewed it on my blog, yet, I won't say too much about it. That review is actually forthcoming on Halloween, just in time for the subject matter, which stars a 16-year-old Victor Frankenstein before he creates his monster. It is an amazing YA read, full of mysterious magical alchemy, forbidden libraries, exciting adventure, and very dramatic romance.  

UPDATE: I have since put up my review of this book! Clicky here to read it....
