Something happened. It's not something bad...but something definitely happened. Before, I couldn't love this series, because it's a kind of fantasy that I'm not really use to, and it was a little hard to get use to it as I was reading, but, now, after reading The Iron Queen, something happened. *dramatic pause* I love it. It's so good! After three books, I'm beyond use to this, and I've fallen in love with this series. I'm so glad it's not over just yet, because after reading this one, I want more! 
 Something else happened. *dramatic pause 2.0* I've also fallen in love with Ash and Meghan. They are just so well-written, and they completely pulled at my heartstrings in this one. I still love Puck, as well, but Ash is just...gah. That's what he is: gah. It's rare when an author can make me love both male love interests, so I love it when that happens. (Three loves in one sentence; that ought to tell you something.) I actually squealed (good grief, I'm turning into Meghan) when Puck entered the scene for the first time in this one. So, with Ash and Puck, I have to spread the love. 
 One word: Gliders. So much fun! 
 So, there's a war going on, which gives some amazingly well-depicted battle scenes. Faeries are fighting for their life, and what's Meghan doing? Yes, she's still screaming, but she's actually fighting! I'm so happy Meghan learned to defend herself, which made me like her character so much more. Although, let's be honest, Meghan will probably never stop screaming even though she's a fighter now being as how fond she is of the battle cry. O_o 
 Summer's Crossing, here I come...
