From Goodreads:
My name is Meghan Chase.
I thought it was over. That my time with the fey, the impossible choices I had to make, the sacrifices of those I loved, was behind me. But a storm is approaching, an army of Iron fey that will drag me back, kicking and screaming. Drag me away from the banished prince who's sworn to stand by my side. Drag me into the core of conflict so powerful, I'm not sure anyone can survive it.
This time, there will be no turning back.

Yep, this book wins the award for the best in the Iron Fey series. I finished this book a few hours ago and I’m still reeling…I love it when books do that!
I love how Meghan is a typical teenage girl and yet such a badass at the same time. I won't give away any spoilers, but just know that she continues to rock it out in The Iron Queen.
I got so caught up in the scenery and ambiance that this book was set in. Kagawa does such a great job making the reader feel like they are actually there standing right next to Meghan, Ash, and Puck.
The love between Meghan and Ash was so strong and intense. My heart just ached for them at times and I seriously shed a few tears. You just wanted for them to be together with no issues or politics or barriers between them. And the things Ash would say…they were seriously just too beautiful for words. This is honestly one of the best love stories I have ever read!
Let’s continue gushing over how much I love Ash. He totally made my heart melt with his unwavering loyalty to Meghan and all I wanted to do was give him a big hug and tell him everything would be OK.
And the ending…again, no spoilers, but I will say that it is EPIC and I was not disappointed. It was beautifully written and wrapped everything up nicely while still leaving some things open…
While the Iron Fey series was initially meant to be a trilogy, Kagawa has announced a fourth book will be released entitled The Iron Knight. YES. I cannot wait to read this book as it will be written from Ash’s point of view. And I can never get enough of Ash. EVER.
TEAM ASH FOR LIFE!!!

ReplyDeleteI still haven't started this series. Gahhh I dropped the ball on this one, eh? Ok, decision - I'm going to buy book 1 today. Because of you. THanks :)
ReplyDeleteTEAM ASH TARA! I was a blubbering mess by the end, it was just embarrassing really. I love how the characters really progressed in this one, and I'm now dying for The Iron Knight. I need more Ash! We can be Ash addicts together:)
ReplyDeleteOh, Tara! lovely review! During book's 1 & 2 I was all for Puck, but in The Iron Queen, I couldn't help but just LOVE Ash.... I couldn't help myself, he was just so amazing :) Cant wait 'til the release of The Iron Knight!
