What Julie Kagawa has written is a fairytale for a YA audience. What child hasn't dreamed of faeries, ogres, gremlins and pixies? And what teen doesn't wish they were still allowed to dream of magic? 
 As perfect as the combination of genres is, I still hit a snag. The descriptions were so detailed that I found myself spending more time attempting to recreate the visual, than actually following the story. 
 In the end, however, it was the characters that made the book for me. Meaghan, our heroine, experiences overwhelming growth, while continuing to exhibit morals I can get behind. Although I can appreciate both male leads, Ash and Robbie (Puck), I am generally turned off by the whole love triangle. It has become a little cliche. The book became more appealing for me as soon as one of the men stepped out for a bit. 
 I turned the last page and found myself wishing I had the sequel. Lucky for me, I was so incredibly late jumping on the Iron Fey bandwagon, the whole series is already written. No pesky waiting. :)
