A review by reginaexmachina
Iron Crowned by Richelle Mead

1.0

Part of my problem with the book is that I read the second book in this series shortly after it was released in 2009. So already going into this book I'd forgotten a lot of what was going on and who was who since I didn't reread anything again going into it. Then I got into the storyline and was a bit bored. Problem number two. I figured I'd at least skim through the book since I did love Dorian so much in previous books and I wanted to find out what happens in the end. Which brought out problem number three. While I liked the main character Eugenie in the previous books she's now the second Richelle Mead heroine to drive me up the wall. She's also the second Richelle Mead heroine to cheat. I can handle impulsiveness and being rash in a character but cheating is something I think is simply stupid. Especially since she bounces between several men throughout the series and can't make up her mind. I've read books before where someone cheats and have liked some of them when it's treated right. But here the heroine was already being an idiot and that was just the last straw. I'm hoping this won't be an ongoing thing with Richelle Mead's heroine's as I like her writing but I can't put up with stupid main characters.
