You know, I've heard a few people say similar. ANYWAY, still, AMAZING review, and I'm kind of fascinated.

It's been okay till now - though I have a negative predisposition to the spelling "faery". I grew up thinking they were "fairies". <br />Fun fun review!

I did want to know what happened to these characters so I did read all the books. I think the third is the best one. Great review and watch out for those faeries! Most of them are evil, right? :)Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682335183798720529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4994892116944894947.post-79626212003072980092012-09-15T15:15:06.322+01:002012-09-15T15:15:06.322+01:00Me and Faeries don't have a great relationship...Me and Faeries don't have a great relationship either no matter how hard I try, I still have the hope that I will find something great out there! I did pick up the second book in this series, which I found a lot better. So if you decide to continue with this I hope it works out for you.

I do think she gets better as the series goes on (as do the books, in my opinion). I hope the next book is slightly more impressive for you.

Although I think I can understand some of your reasons. Hopefully you'll enjoy the second book better. Oh and before you read the second book, I suggest you read the Winter's Passage (novella) first. That will help you a lot understanding some of Meghan's actions in the sequel. Lovely reivew, A! :) Eunicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15149413249084973336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4994892116944894947.post-61048879971258170492012-09-14T10:54:59.778+01:002012-09-14T10:54:59.778+01:00As I said over on goodreads, I didn't like The...As I said over on goodreads, I didn't like The Iron King as much as I wanted to. In contrast to you, I really like faeries. The badass ones =)) Not the sparkly ones. But in this book, I didn't like them much either. I wasn't too fond of Meghan or Ash :( But I did like the Nevernever in general. Haha.

Although Meghan doesn't seem like a kick-butt heroine, I'm interested to see what actually happened on her birthday. Thanks for the review, Aa'Ishah!

LET ME LOVE YOU AA'ISHAH! *...THANK YOU SO MUCH! LET ME LOVE YOU AA'ISHAH! *HUGS* <br /><br />I know this sounds HORRIBLE, but I am SO glad you weren't enamored with this book like everyone else. I loved the concept and idea of this entire series, but MEGHAN! Argh! I disliked that girl SO much! I adored Puck, more in the second book than this one, but Ash NEVER did it for me. I didn't see what was so great about him and gave up after the second book in which Meghan, believe it or not, gets WORSE! I know a looot of people adore this series and even Julie Kagawa, who I believe has improved immensely as a writer with The Immortal Rules, but I'm not a fan in the least. <br /><br />Overall, this is a wonderfullll review!(: I haven't read Brodie's favorites, Iron Queen and Iron Knight, and since I barely remember this series except the negative aspects of it, I probably won't, but if you decide to pick them up, I'd be very interested to see what you have to say about them! :) Keertanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01071392026876644282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4994892116944894947.post-50245683905669262472012-09-13T22:10:00.906+01:002012-09-13T22:10:00.906+01:00To be honest, this is actually very similar to how...To be honest, this is actually very similar to how I felt when I first read The Iron King. I was also much more "Team Puck" than I was feeling anything for Ash (this has changed! this has changed!). It took me over a year to read the sequels after much pestering from other bloggers. When I did? I kinda fell in love. I don't know whether you'll love the following books, that's just my experience. Iron Queen and Iron Knight are my favourites!<br /><br />Hehe and I <3 Grim too. Sorry this didn't live up to the massive hype for you, fingers crossed for you loving the next books more! Awesome review!!Brodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16389909407256668662noreply@blogger.com
