For me The Iron King was a disappointing read, when I first went into the book I was sure I would love it since I love books about the fae. Yet I struggled to even complete this book to the point I had the book left on the side for a couple of months before deciding to just sit down and burn through the last hundred or so pages. 
 Whilst I liked how the author described the fae, she didn't try to make them all nice and cuddly but instead manipulating and untrustworthy. As many people likely know you should never make a deal with one of the fae, it usually ends badly for the person making the deal and as such you probably shouldn't risk it. And yet seemingly at every chapter Meghan made the same mistake and promised more and more to the fae until I honestly wondered if she was an idiot or simply thoughtless. I could have accepted her doing this once or twice but she made the same mistake that many times in her quest to find her brother that I wanted to reach into the book and smack some sense into her. 
 Meghan's character in my eyes was annoying, selfish and a little bit stupid. I respected how she went to the extreme to save her brother but her character didn't really endear her to me. 
 However I found the last fifty or so pages did Improve but its unlikely I will continue the series.
