A review by blessedwannab
The Iron King by Julie Kagawa
2.0
It was okay. I'm going to continue reading the series, but I'm glad it's on my Kindle and not taking up space on my house bookshelf.
The best part about this book was/is Puck. Ash is sweet but Puck really gets me. He's mischievious and playful but sweet and protective.
The worst part about this book was/is Meghan. She's unbelievably self-absorbed. **Spoiler coming** Puck is her best friend, the only person she's felt comfortable around, but when he gets turned into a Raven and held in a cage because he helped her come to Nevernever Meghan just basically shrugs and moves on. When he tosses her into Grims tree she is angry because she thinks he abandoned her, not that he was trying to save her. Or when Ash goes with her to the Iron Kingdom and his life is draining away, Meghan gets worried that he'll 'die and leave her all alone'. I mean, she's almost impossible to like. It feels reminiscent of Bella Swan.
I just hope as this progresses she wises up and stops acting like a self-centered child.
