Deylin is a Winter knight who stands guard over Meghan. Beau is the old farm dog, a German shepherd, Luke took to the pound.Īshallyn’darkmyr “ Ash” Tallyn is a former prince of the Unseelie Court, the last son of the Winter Queen, Mab. Paul is the father she lost when she was six years old. Ethan is the little brother for whom she plunged into the Nevernever a year ago to rescue in The Iron King, 1. Meghan Chase is half-fae and half-human her father is Oberon the Summer King. It’s sharp right turn from thinking of college and jobs to having to penetrate the Iron Realm by stealth again, and the gang’s all here to help her again. It didn’t take these two tyrants long to realize they were telling the truth.

The Storyīanished from the Nevernever, it doesn’t take long before Meghan and Ash’s presence is demanded back by Oberon and Mab. I certainly have enjoyed Kagawa’s creation of the Iron Fey with the uncompromising issues its existence causes for the rest of the fey. On the whole, I enjoyed this story even though a bit of cliché is creeping in as well as some dumb choices on Meghan’s part. Then there’s Meghan poking and denigrating Ash. Puck seriously believes that a simple banner will be enough to denote the difference between the allied Irons and the enemy Irons? Interesting bit of backstory on Machina and Ferrum. Too bad it took her so long to figure out it could be useful. Hmm, interesting discovery of Meghan’s control of the gremlins. God forbid Kagawa should have to give up her big reveal and avoid this particular cliché. Naturally, Meghan avoids learning anything like the plague. Meghan realizes she has Machina’s power and the dreams are telling her she needs to learn to use it. I did appreciate Ash’s teaching Meghan how to fight, and she does acquit herself rather well. I did wonder why Kagawa felt the need to explain writing music, and eventually we found out. I’m kinda bummed we didn’t get to see how Ash and Meghan would cope with the real world, but disappointment fades quickly when they plunge back into the strife of the Nevernever.
