A review by halynah
The Iron King by Julie Kagawa

3.0

Well, I usually love this type of books, but in this book I didn't like the main characters and it influenced everything for me. Charismatic characters may save even the weak plot or style of writing, so I think it's very important to create powerful and interesting protagonists. First Meghan - she is unemotional, not very bright and the episode, where she preferred her smelly and dirty clothes to the dress her father said to give her made me dislike her very much. Puck is not so bad, but for a renowned jester his jokes and pranks are not funny. Ash is a cold and boring guy and I didn't feel the supposed attraction between them. The only interesting characters are Ethan and Grimalkin. The plot was unusual, but often chaotic. It rarely occurs, when I don't read other books in the series, but I'm afraid this may be the case.
