About this listen

"A fantastic book, full of wit and sharp humor, City of Iron and Dust careens through a modernized faerie at a breakneck pace, full of verve and unforgettable characters. Oakes spins a smart, electric, and sometimes snarky tale, showing that the beating heart of modern fantasy is alive and well." (John Hornor Jacobs, author of A Lush and Seething Hell and The Incorruptibles)

The Iron City is a prison, a maze, an industrial blight. It is the result of a war that saw the goblins grind the fae beneath their collective boot heels. And tonight, it is also a city that churns with life. Tonight, a young fae is trying to make his fortune one drug deal at a time; a goblin princess is searching for a path between her own dreams and others' expectations; her bodyguard is deciding who to kill first; an artist is hunting for his own voice; an old soldier is starting a new revolution; a young rebel is finding fresh ways to fight; and an old goblin is dreaming of reclaiming her power over them all. Tonight, all their stories are twisting together, wrapped up around a single bag of Dust - the only drug that can still fuel fae magic - and its fate and theirs will change the Iron City forever.

Contains mature themes.

I love this book. The author is not afraid to push boundaries. In the end of the book I was disappointed disappointed because there was one character that I did not get a closing for. The ending is a roller coaster in the last 3 chapters. But overall is a great read.

Not afraid to push it.

Loved it. The story had some twists that I did not initially see coming and that is unusual for me. What I loved most was how quickly the story moved. I lose attention easily, but this story did not let you look away. I hope to read more from this author. Dive into some of these characters!

Fast moving action packed story

A unique story well told. Wishing it was a series. So much story left to tell.

Thoroughly Enjoyed

The story is very good and I’m impressed at the choice the author made, writing in present tense, and from everyone’s point of view. It was done well but also made it a bit hard for me to read. I ended up listening to this audio book instead and enjoyed it very much.

Worth the effort
