mon_3 's review for:
The Iron Knight
by Julie Kagawa
adventurous
dark
emotional
fast-paced
"I was tired of living in the past. If I managed to survive here, I would actually have a chance at a future."
I was not expecting the pov to change to Ash, but it was good to have a different voice! I did prefer Ash and Puck on their own and watching them kind of go from the awkward "I still hate you because I have to and you are annoying" to "you're still annoying but I don't hate you so much now, you're a tolerable friend" 😂 I did hate Ariella though, she was just there and jealousy did not look good on her. It was interesting to finally see more of their backstory and how the 3 characters dynamic worked. A lot of the book was travelling to the end of the world and then about 100 or so pages of Ash doing the trials to become mortal and the pacing just went OFF. Slow, fast, then we get a whole life play out only to come back as it was one of the trials and then have to drag through another travel scene to get to the end. The mirror fight was my favourite part, having to fight the selves they all contain/suppress. They fight against their "evil" selves- Cold Ice Queen Ari, Cruel Ice King Ash, Savage Unhinged Puck and Giant Beastly Wolf, A True Monster and of course, Grimalkin unchanged.
