The Iron Knight

**Book 1 * Book 2 * Book 3**

Oh my god! I totally loved this book...eventually. It started off a little shaky, but ended very strong.

The shaky part? Well, Ash is on a quest (with Puck) to get a soul/mortality so that he can be with Meghan in the Iron Kingdom. Now, this is not a bad thing and I spent a long time hoping he'd get that soul. But when the seer who is supposed to guide him to the End of the World where the Testing Grounds are (the place he can earn a soul) turns out to be Ariella, the long dead love from his past, I got really confused.

Then I got angry. See, Ash made this vow that he would do anything to return to Meghan, or he'd die trying. But when Ariella is thrust back into his life, he feels conflict over his decision. Does he forsake his vow and cause his essence to unravel to be with his first love, or does he keep his word and try to get back to the love who has made him the man he is? Ariella sure doesn't make it easy. In fact, she is essentially trying to make him choose her over Meghan. I did not like her character.

I still don't and the book is over.

But Puck and Ash work past their issues, mostly because Ariella wasn't dead, so Ash doesn't have to kill Puck. Ash goes on his epic quest and deals with a lot of things from his past and in his possible future that make him wonder if Meghan is worth all this trouble.

But it ended so well that I just sat there hugging the book to my chest. Even after the little "ha ha, fooled you!" part of the book. I spent two chapters swooning just to have the rug ripped from under me. But they made up for it.

Now, there's a spin off series that follows Ethan (Meghan's little brother) as a teenager. I need to read that at some point.

The Iron Queen

**Book 1 * Book 2**

I can't even explain how much I am loving this series. So at the end of the last book, Ash and Meghan were banished from the Nevernever because they won't renounce their love for each other. Meghan means to go home to her family, but never quite gets there.

See, there's the new false Iron King causing destruction and chaos in the land of Faery. He wants Meghan because she has the magic of the former Iron King, Machina, who she killed at the end of the first book. So, she has all these Iron fey trying to capture her to take her to this false king. On top of that, she's able to communicate with the gremlins, and other Iron fey are trying to hold her hostage so that the false king can't get her.

All the while, Ash is trying to protect her and Puck, who also got himself banished, is trying to help her figure out her glamour. She manages to rescue the man who raised her until she was six from a banished fey who had been keeping him in the Between.

Everything gets all crazy, and she has to figure out her feelings for Ash and how they can stay together, while working through the problems that inevitably arise.

The ending was a big tease, and I'm so excited to read the next book (and I'm glad I grabbed it from the library when I picked up book 3).

The Iron Daughter

**Book 1**

I had so many emotional ups and downs reading this book. I hit all the major ones: happy, sad, excited, angry, furious, terrified, hopeful, etc. Not just that, but I got emotionally attached to a few characters. Namely Meghan and Ash. So I had several moments where I thought my heart was going to break.

Anyway, Meghan begins this book essentially trapped in the Winter Court because of her deal with Ash from the last book. Oberon wants to rescue her and take her back to Summer, but because she made a deal, he can't really help her. She's in love with Ash, but as soon as they got to the Winter Court, he distanced himself and she begins to question whether he really loves her like she thought he did. Not only that, but his brother Rowan starts messing with her and gets her to admit that she loves Ash, which will be used to his own advantage.

Then, chaos. The Iron fey are back and they're stealing the Scepter of the Seasons and Meghan is the only witness to this. War is declared between Winter and Summer because Winter believes that Summer took the scepter. No one believes Meghan when she says it was the Iron fey, and she becomes a block of ice.

She then has to go on this quest to recover the scepter with a motley crew of help. Ash (on and off), Puck (eventually), Ironhorse (who was originally an enemy), and Grimalkin (a mischievous cat) assist Meghan in her quest and she has to deal with all sorts of emotions and personal problems along the way.

The end was amazing because she (and everyone else) discovers something interesting and unexpected about her abilities as faery.

I so want to read the next book to find out what happens next. So, until I get to the library, I'll pine over my favorite fey.

The Iron King

This book ended up recommended to me by Goodreads based on what I'd been reading. I kind of went in to it with a bit of skepticism. It just didn't really seem like my kind of book, but I went for it anyway. Especially since the local library had it. So, I checked it out, read it, and found myself sucked in before too long.

Meghan Chase leads a boring life in Louisiana with her mom, stepdad, and half-brother. She's the farthest thing from popular at school, but she has a best friend who is there for her no matter what. Then, she turns sixteen and everything changes.

What Meghan Chase doesn't know, is that the world of Fey, all those faeries from Shakespeare and other stories, really exists.

She ends up on this epic adventure to save her little brother and meets her real father. Plus, she discovers that her best friend is Puck.

I really got drawn into this story when she started to realize what was happening in the world around her. I am so excited to read the next book, so that I can see what happens next to Meghan.
