The Iron Queen was pretty great! I do think I liked it better than The Iron Daughter, since Meghan isn't pining away for Ash so much. They are together so that probably has something to do with it. I'm still not completely on board for this romance, but whatever. What I did love was that Ash isn't trying to make Meghan sit on the sidelines and protect her. War is coming and he knows she needs to fight, or at least be able to defend herself. He knows his weakness lies in not being to fully protect her when the world is made from iron, but he does what he can; train her with a sword! She's still totally hopeless with her glamour, although I figured out her issue early on.
My favorite part of The Iron Queen was getting to know more about the Iron Realm and meeting more of the fey! I do miss my dear Ironhorse, but Razor is such a cutie! There were a couple of things that felt way too convenient though. I suppose without them everyone would have failed, died, and there'd be no more story. But it did feel too easy, even if it was interesting seeing these things. If that makes any sense at all.
The end of The Iron Queen was a bit sad. I mean, there's war and destruction, and other things, so yeah. I am proud that Meghan is putting her responsibilities first rather than running away and frolicking through fields of love and rainbows. The epilogue was also quite interesting. I have an idea of what The Iron Knight is going to be about, but I have no clue how he's going to do it!
