A review by lcgerstmann
Iron Crowned by Richelle Mead
3.0
3.5 stars
This is the third installment of the Dark Swan series and my least favorite. The first third of the book was a little slow, the middle, which involved the quest for the iron crown (this shouldn't give away any more than the title does!) was disappointingly anticlimatic considering this author's history of writing action packed books. All was redeemed, however in the last third with a very big surprise ending. I think the main reason I liked this book less than the previous two was the lack of Dorian, he is by far the most interesting character and the parts of the book he was in were so uncharacteristic for him (because he's being mad and Eugenie) that I didn't enjoy them, and because of this there was too much Kiyo!
