The Iron Daughter by Julie Kagawa
Feb. 23rd, 2012 12:01 amThe Blurb On The Back:
I’ve been in the palace of the Winter fey for a while now. How long exactly? I don’t know. If If I ever get out of here, I might find a hundred years have passed and all my family and friends are long dead.
I try not to think about that, but sometimes I can’t help but wonder.
My name is Meghan Chase.
Half Summer faery princess, half human, Meghan has never fitted in anywhere. Deserted by the Winter prince she thought loved her, she is prisoner to the Winter faery queen. As war looms between Summer and Winter, Meghan knows that the real danger comes from the Iron fey – ironbound faeries that only she and her absent prince have seen. But no one believes her.
Worse, Meghan’s own fey powers have been cut off. She’s stuck in Faery with only her wits for help. Trusting anyone would be foolish. Trusting the prince who betrayed her, deadly. But even as she grows a backbone of iron, Meghan can’t help but hear the whispers of longing in her all-too-human heart.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Having enjoyed THE IRON KING, I was really looking forward to reading this sequel. However while I love Kagawa’s imagery (and the descriptions of the Iron Court and the Iron Faeries are wonderful), I’m not a big romance fan and love triangles in particular leave me cold. The romance/love triangle in this book is no exception and my big issue with it is that I never understood why Puck and Ash would be fighting over Meghan who is completely useless. That said, I will continue reading the series because I love the visuals so much.
