The Iron King by Julie Kagawa
3.0
I won't lie, but I struggled a bit on this one. Sitting here thinking about it for probably the last 20 minutes, I can't even think of a good reason why I did. I loved the concept of this book. Something about Fae novels really intrigues me. Something about this one just didn't really "click" for me.
Meghan was a great character. Her heart was in the right place and this made me admire her in so many different ways. I loved how the author brought in other mixed of stories into the book. Grimlkin, the oddest cat I'm sure I've ever heard of, reminded me so much of Alice in Wonderland and of course characters and settings like MidSummers Night Dream.
I love the whole aspect of the Seelie and Unseelie courts and all the characters who make these kingdoms so opposite. Why we always seem to see these as the good and evil, yet I wasn't really sure I saw either as such...
Why do I always fall for these mysterious, bad, hidden type boys. Something about Ash drew me in so quickly that I almost wished I learned more about him then what we were given. I guess this is something I can hope for in the books to come? I grew a huge love for little Ethan and I was a little disappointed that Puck couldn't be by Meghan's side in the end, as he seemed like such an important role in her life not to have him there by her side continuously. But I shouldn't complain cause maybe I am a little too happy that it was with Ash. *sigh*
Regardless, I was a little underwhelmed as I didn't love this book, but I didn't hate it either. So, I am excited to continue this "journey" from here. :)
