The Iron Fey is one of my favorite faerie series I've read. It's full of action, adventure and loads of romance. I love the whole series but this last book just didn't do it for me. I read it last year and here is my review.
So, truly, I really do love Ash and everything but I really felt like this book was a bit too depressing for me. I think it's because I far too frequently had been reading so many adult series and the writing is so different. I read the first books at the end of the year so it was the beginning of my book journey. I kinda felt like can't they just have any piece at the end of each book? I guess not! I found myself missing Meghan a lot for some reason. I loved her journey and how she started out defenseless yet kept moving forward.
The beginning dragged for me. It was hard for me to really get into the story. I found Puck more annoying than usual and Ash so depressing and angry. When Ariella showed up, I truly wished that she would go back and die again. Because of her, Ash turned into a terrible person. She could have gone into her dreams and told him that she was in a better place or that she couldn't be with him although she loved him and he need to move on. She could have said that it wasn't his fault and that she wanted him to be happy and forgive Puck. She did nothing. She just hid for years. I had very little respect for her and during the journey she tried to see if he would change his mind. It was so upsetting.
I thought things would be better between Puck and Ash after that yet it wasn't and I hated that too. Grim's attitude got really old.
I felt like things continually went from bad to worse with out much good anywhere. I knew that Ariella would probably die but I didn't think that she'd have to sacrifice herself. But that was her redeeming quality. I wish I could have seen a bigger happily ever after between Ash and Meghan.
If I hadn't put it on my pissed-me-off shelf, I probably would have given it 3 stars, but since I added that, I give it 4 because I truly did love the series even though not so much this book.
