If you haven’t read my post about The Iron King, the first book in this series, then I’d recommend you to go read that one, because there may be some spoilers here or things you won’t understand. If you don’t care about any of that, or if you have read this book, then just keep reading :).
Something I really liked about this book is that it explains what happened in the previous one; this
is great if you’ve read The Iron King a long time ago or if you’ve forgotten
some things, and it’s not even boring or tedious, it’s done really well.
But seriously, I
thought I was going to throw my kindle at the wall at some point. Can Ash just,
for ONE SINGLE SECOND, stop talking about freaking Ariella?! Was I the only one
getting tired of this? (And a tad bit jealous from Meghan’s POV) Meghan
should’ve been like ‘Yeah ok, whatever, you still love this girl and will forever,
so let me just go then, I’m done’… No, she actually liked this part of him, but
I didn’t, I did not! I know, I know he was very much in love with Ariella and it was
a tragedy what happened to her but COME ON! There’s this awesome girl here who
loves you, you know you love her too, and you’re just going to say to her ‘I
thought I liked you because you remind me of her’ Uhm… seriously? Rude. There
were times where I was actually starting to root for Puck because of this
stupid behavior, don’t ever compare your new girl to a previous one, man!
What’s wrong with you?? Meghan’s awesome!
Another thing that
bothered me about Ash was the whole ‘I have to obey my queen’ thing, I know
they have all these crazy rules in the Nevernever, but do you always have to
bring that up? Even if it’s not relevant, Ash? Do you? Because I think not, and
I think your mom kind of hates you by the way, just saying.
We also get to see
a lot more about how deals work in this world. Why? Because cute little Meghan
here just can’t seem to stop saying, to every freaking creature she encounters,
something like ‘Oh hi! What’s up? By the way, do you want to make a deal?’.
Like, you just get one firstborn child, Meghan, stop promising everyone that
baby.
When I first
started this series I was all ‘Oh I know, I KNOW, I’m so going to love Ash, and
I’m so going to root for him, like, he’s so cool’, ooh I was so young and naive
(mind you, this was just a few days ago). But yeah, you just saw how much I
freaked out about his behavior in this book, and apparently he also thinks he’s
invincible, I know he’s a fey and all, and really strong, but Ash, you nearly
died in the previous book. Remember?? Remember that, HUH?!
Ash is everything I
like in a male character; he’s serious, mature, quite the gentleman… And Puck
is the total opposite; I’m just not crazy about class clowns. But while reading
this book, something incredible happened… There was a moment where I was
actually hoping there was a small little chance that Puck would get the girl…
And then there’s the kiss!! But a little while later I liked Ash again, and
then Puck, and then Ash, and then Puck… and then Ash again… I always end up
liking Ash, damn it!
There was also
something making me really nervous all the time, Meghan didn’t have her
glamour, she couldn’t use it. So she was always risking her life, especially at
the end and I was just freaking out. But then we see that she also has another
kind of glamour: iron glamour! And I loved that. Now, I usually think Meghan makes good decisions… sometimes… but she spent a lot of time at Leanansidhe’s
doing nothing, she actually started reading some books… Couldn’t she just
practice using that glamour? I bet someone could’ve gotten her like a ring or
something, and it’s no big deal really, she would’ve just promised them her
firstborn child, so why not?
I also loved
Ironhorse a lot, I got a little emotional when he died. He had this amazing
evolution from the first book, in The Iron King I actually hated him (not at
first though, when we just met him he didn’t hurt Meghan or anything like
that), but in this book I just loved him, he was so adorable wanting to protect
Meghan, and I just thought it was so cute that he had dreadlocks in his human
form, I don’t know, can you imagine that? Kagawa did a great job with this
character.
And finally… that
ending! Like… what??
- ‘Oh
ok, hi Queen Mab! Uhm, we just risked our lives like a million times and got
the stupid scepter back to save all your sorry butts.’
- ‘GIVE
ME THAT OH SO IMPORTANT SCEPTER, YOU JUST SAVED OUR LIVES AND NOW GET OUT OF
THE NEVERNEVER. FOREVER.’
Really? I know they
have all these weird laws and rules over there that make no sense, but really?
Now I really hate Mab too, join the club girl, Titania and Oberon were just
waiting for you. Oh and like Mab exiled Ash, Oberon exiled Meghan too, he was
just less bitchy.
So that’s it, lots
of emotions like I said, but I did looove the book, don’t get me wrong! This one also gets 5 stars from me :) there were just so many things going on that I went a
little crazy haha.
Thank you for
