At some point I'm going to have to write a proper review about this, but all I have to say right now is that I was terribly disappointed by this book. I went into it expecting a great, epic fantasy, and instead was given a big love story. I like a good love story as much as the next girl, but, 1) this wasn't a really good love story, and 2) the titular character of the book is a flying metal dragon and we don't get nearly enough time with that aspect of the novel...or the titular character herself. 
 So, yeah. It's not a bad book--it at least kept me interested enough to read it all in one day--but if you're going to promise people metal dragons, GIVE THEM DRAGONS. And now I shall sleep, and later I shall have a better review. Maybe.
