No author has made me cry more than Julie Kagawa. Books 4 and 10 of The Iron Fey series broke me.
But as the adventures of Meghan, Ash, and Puck drew to a close, I found myself grateful they were written in the first place.
Such an amazing journey it was.
When you want to cry and put this book down, keep going. Just keep going.

The Iron Vow is the magical conclusion to the Evenfall trilogy. Meghan and the gang find themselves in Evenfall surrounded by Nightmares with rapidly depleting glamour reserves. As the Nightmare King stirs, Meghan and her companions will learn shocking revelations and risk everything to save Faery.

Kagawa has once against demonstrated her masterful world building skills by crafting a truly imaginative world, Evenfall. With the amount of backstories, world building, and thought to how glamour works in Evenfall, The Iron Vow at times felt like the start to an entirely new series. Unfortunately, this did seem to affect the pacing at times.
As with her previous books, Kagawa is able to balance melancholy with humor. Puck’s character is expertly used to help prevent The Iron Vow from becoming too dark. He uses his trademark charm to keep eyes rolling and bellies laughing. Grim also continues to be a wealth of knowledge popping up at just the right times to share information and disappearing just as quickly to avoid harm. Gilleas, one of my favorite new characters, proves to be an interesting counterbalance to Grim.
While I originally hoped the Iron Vow would be told from Nyx’s POV, there’s a nice balance to have each book in the Evenfall trilogy told from the perspective of the original three: Puck, Ash, and lastly, Meghan. Meghan is able to add additional depth to the choices the Fey must make. Not only does she personally care for her companions, she also has an entire Kingdom she’s responsible for. All of these elements weigh into her decisions as she tried to right the wrongs inflicted by the First Lady.
The Iron Vow proves to be a satisfying, if terrifying (so many bug Nightmares) and heartbreaking at times, conclusion to the Evenfall series. The storylines are wrapped up in a way that feels complete. However, the door is left cracked for the Iron Fey world in general should Kagawa wish to visit again.
