I knew that things wouldn't be left like that. Knowing that the story wasn't over yet kept me pushing forward. It felt like my heart was ripped from my chest. More so than other books in the series, 'The Iron Queen' ended with a huge upset. She is faced with many difficult choices and adversity along the way. In order to save faerieland, Meghan will have to rise to the challenge.
King Oberon and Queen Mab take on unexpected roles, as the false Iron King continues to gain power. As much as I loved Ash and Meghan as a couple, I couldn't help but feel bad for poor Puck. He loved Meghan so much, but it was evident that he had been "friend-zoned" and had no chance at ever becoming anything more. He made some mistakes along the way, but none more serious than anything that Ash ever did, in my opinion. Meanwhile, this book proved to be emotionally engaging and, at times, heartbreaking. She is only beginning to learn about the power within her and I cannot wait to see what she will be able to do once she is able to access it fully. While she still has a plethora of male protectors to do her bidding, Meghan also rises as a leader in and of her own right. In earlier books, Meghan was always cast as the damsel in distress, waiting for Ash or Puck to come to her rescue. To say the least, I felt that this book had a strong "girl power" vibe going on. She is faced with many painful truths and twists along the way, but she rises to the challenge. She grows stronger, both physically and spiritually. 'The Iron Queen' really is Meghan's "coming of age" book. Not only does the relationship between Meghan and Ash grow, but Meghan undergoes a great deal of self-discovery and growth as an individual. Not only is this book filled with action and adventure, but I finally got to see the romance between Meghan and Ash evolve. This book is pivotal and takes the story in an entirely new direction.
Of all the books in 'The Iron Fey' series, 'The Iron Queen' is my favorite.
