marikalla 's review for:
The Iron Knight
by Julie Kagawa
3 stars.
To actually quote Puck, "'Well, that was fun, though a bit on the clichéd side.'"
I didn't enjoy this book nearly as much as the other three in the series. It wasn't terrible, but the plot was a little too clichéd, and the dialogue, especially in the beginning, was predictable. Some things also just seemed to happen too conveniently. This book actually makes me worried that the other three weren't as good as I thought they were, and that I wouldn't like them as much if I read them again (hopefully that's not true).
Honestly, before I even knew there was a fourth book, I was happy with the way Iron Queen ended. Sure it wasn't the happiest ending, but it didn't have to be.
For all I've said, I still gave this book three stars because I did like it, and I enjoyed it. From what I've said above, it might not seem like it, but I did. It didn't move too slow, and there was never a time in the book where I got bored and had to put it down because I couldn't read anymore. It was interesting, and I think I liked it more near the end. Ash's point of view wasn't bad (though I can't say I loved it either). And of course there is a great dose of Grimalkin awesomeness. And I liked the addition of the Big Bad Wolf
I'd still recommend it to others, since it seems most others loved it, and it may just be me who doesn't, but I honestly would have been fine with the ending of the third.
