The FULL review can be found here: The Iron Queen. 
 I have to apologize to all of the people that recommended these to me and I still put them off, I was so surprised when I read THE IRON KING and fell in love with everything between those pages. If you have read my other reviews, you know how picky I can be! What mainly put me off was the sheer number of people that gushed about them, "Team Ash," "Team Puck," and I thought I was in for another stereotypical Young Adult novel. Definitely not, readers.

 I'm pretty sure Ash and Meghan's unbreakable loyalty to each other is the most heartbreaking thing to read about in the novel. There was the fact that Faerie was crumbling to ash (pun somewhat intended) around them but Ash and Meghan-come on. 
 Meghan is such a great protagonist, except for falling in love pretty quickly, she's almost a perfectly flawed character. Perfectly flawed? Yes, her flaws are what make her character so likable and relatable, they are realistic and she actually makes an effort to protect herself even though she could have hid behind her two bodyguards. I probably would have stayed holed up in the normal realm if I was her. She not only gives up all her power to defeat the false king, knowing the consequences, but does it a second time to heal the damage the Iron Realm has done and keep it from progressing.
