Great book!! I don't think that I have ever read a book about faeries. This is my first and I loved it.
Nothing like what I thought about this kind of books.
By the way, I have developed a crush on Ash *-*

Such a fun dive into the world of Fae. Of all the fantasy I have read, I was not as familiar with these lores and it is a fun adventure. Couldn’t put it down.
I didn't finish this. Two chapters in, it already lacked detail and plot. I could probably have told you how it ended. It began just like all the other trite YA books out there and it probably ended the same way.
I’m in a reading funk and its been YEARS since I’ve reread this series and I still love it is as much as I did the first time I read this book.
When I first started reading The Iron King, I wasn't very into it. There was something about the story's beginning that turned me off. And then, about 30 pages in, it was like someone had flipped the switch to 'on'. I couldn't put The Iron King down! Not even to eat!
The Iron King is filled with some truly complex and entrancing characters. Meghan, our female protagonist, is seriously kick ass. She traveled to an unknown, dangerous world to save someone she loved, even though she could have died in the process. She wasn't fearless by any means, but she pushed aside her fear, knowing what she needed to do and having the courage to do it. Puck--yes, the Puck-- helps Meghan along the way. He's a prankster and a jokester, and he cares really deeply for Meghan. I would be on his team, if Prince Ash wasn't in the picture. Ash is the prince of the Winter Court, and after he and Meghan make a deal, he tags along with them to help Meghan. Along the way, the two of them get closer than Ash would've liked, but he has no control over himself. Oh, Ash... he may be the prince of the Winter Court, but he had me melting!
Plus, Ash has the best line I have ever read in a novel, EVER:
"Touch her, and I'll freeze your testicles off and put them in a jar. Understand?"
Also, there's a talking cat named Grimalkin. That speaks for itself.
The Iron King is a whole new take on the fey, using the old lore and mythology, and throwing a completely new--and completely deadly--element to spice things up. I admit I really wasn't expecting the ending. I'm SO GLAD that I have the next books in the series, will start reading them soon! I give this novel 5 out of 5 stars.

10.49am // i read so many reviews saying they hated meghans character but i actually quite liked her
Honestly, this book was hard for me to get through. I can’t put my figure on what it was, but the Iron King seemed to drag on foreverrrrrrrrrr and I would procrastinate reading it

“Oh, we're playing nice now? Shall we have tea first? Brew up a nice pot of kiss-my-ass?”
I actually enjoyed the Iron King more than I had had expected! This book is definitely better than some other Fey books I have so read far.
Meghan got sometimes on my nerves with her behaviour, but I'm sure (or better hope) that she will get stronger and more confident throughout the next installments.... especially because she is at a very interesting place with an really interesting guy ... Nevertheless, I did admire her strength and her courage.
Further, I did really like the world building. The two different fey realms and their own special creatures were very good described. I'm eager to learn of new magical creatures!
