Before I start my mini-rant, let me say that OVERALL I liked the book. The story move along, and by the end, everything was wrapped up neatly. I really only had a few issues and I'm willing to concede one.

Meghan- At one point, I made a note that this girl must be a complete idiot-because she has to be pointed directly at what to do on every issue AND it has to be explained to her. For goodness sake, can she not use her brain? I clearly remember being 17, and although I may have made some bone-headed decisions, I did actually think them out. (My second note was to go back and see if she was a complete dumdum in school because I couldn't remember). This was my biggest issue, and I don't think it can be excused just because this is a YA.

Ending-there were a few things at the end of the book which weren't explained fully and the ending as a whole felt a bit rushed. I won't go into them in detail to avoid spoiler. Not sure if it was because the book was meant to be a certain length or whether it was the editing. Either way, I hope the get clarified in the next book. One good thing, it wasn't a cliffhanger ending--thank goodness, I am really sick of that trend in fantasy.

Romance-(SPOILER WARNING) Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I don't think a 17 year-old should be having sex in a YA book? I might be missing something here, but isn't that a no-no? If it's not these days, then I'll concede this one, but it certainly surprised me.

All in all, it was a solid addition to the series, and I'm looking forward to the next one which I understand will be released later this year.

Prelim Review: ...honestly I'm just going to save my thoughts for the full review, because its gonna be hard for me to summarize what I want to say without giving spoilers at the moment (a little in shock won't lie).

As usual with this series, it was a quickly paced read. I had a hard time putting it down. Julie Kagawa is great at building the Fey world into a magical place where anything is possible. There was a lot of action in this one, keeping you on the edge of your seat as to how everything would end. The love triangle between Meghan, Ash, and Puck is always fun. Very much an asset to the series. ( )

The story was cool, Like how Megan was able to communicate with the gremlins too, seeing the iron world through the rebels perspective was also quite cool too :)

Megan has to harness her abilities as both summer and iron fae and with the help of the rebels of the iron realm and her two faithful companions she gets there in the end. ( )

February 2012, 1st read, 4 stars:
Best of the series so far, I think. This is truly Meghan's book. She really grows in this one (although it's happens a bit suddenly and isn't all that well explained). She actually had somewhat of a personality and I really liked her in this one. Her romance with Ash is sweet, although sometimes their conversations become too sweet and overly sappy. The whole knight thing was overkill, in my opinion. I think the concept of it is just so ridiculous and lol-worthy, even though I know Julie Kagawa meant it to be romantic. But even worse, after making his vow, Ash becomes totally needy and insecure and moody, which was so annoying! So while Meghan gains a personality in this book, Ash totally loses his (not that he had much of one before) and his whole existence revolves around being overprotective of Meghan as if she's a delicate little flower and then getting pissed off when she proves she isn't. Ugh. His behaviour is explained at the end, and it is an acceptable explanation (and, I think, adds some depth to his character), but I was pretty annoyed with him for much of this book. Also, LOL, he pulls an Edward Cullen and says, “You are my heart, my life, my entire existence.” This had me rolling.

Puck was also really annoying with his jabs at Meghan and Ash's romance. I think it was meant to show him as accepting Meghan's choice of Ash over himself, but to me it just seemed like he was kind of a bitter, sore loser. Also, regarding the love triangle, how irritating was it that Kagawa had Puck go and profess his undying love for Meghan even though she was already with Ash and he basically had no chance? It's not romantic to be in an unrequited love with your best friend forever. Even Puck confesses it'll never be enough for him, yet he'll always be by her side. That kind of thing will just build resentment inside of him until he starts hating her. This is clearly just Julie Kagawa's fantasy of having two hot fey boys in love with the same girl, forever. And so Meghan basically gets both of them, gets everything she wants from them, without really sacrificing anything, while poor Puck keeps getting the shaft.

Now, let's talk about that ending. It was a perfect and perfectly melodramatic ending for this kind of cheesy but entertaining series. Well actually, the series isn't finished, but I wouldn't mind if it ended here in all honesty. I do have a soft spot for Ash, but I dunno, I guess I like bittersweet endings where people don't get to have everything they want, not even the person they love, but they can still be happy and have hope. But of course, I'm so excited to read The Iron Knight!

(Also, are we ever going to learn Meghan's True Name? It seemed like a really important thing that's connected to her powers in the first book but it hasn't been mentioned again since then. And where did Titania go as well? She wasn't there during the war while Oberon and Mab were.) ( )
