These books have lots of action, more dynamic characters, and a unique twist with the Iron fey. Overall, I'm glad I read the series and I'll probably even buy it. They're not perfect, but between book three, Grimalkin, and the action I'm in love. :)Small Reviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16072352095510905410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-84136151738668318512011-03-26T10:14:31.151-04:002011-03-26T10:14:31.151-04:00I have the first book on my e-reader but I haven&#...I have the first book on my e-reader but I haven't read it yet.

The third book was a total game changer for me though. <br /><br />Bookworm1858, The third changed everything for me. Everything I liked about the first two books was there and everything I didn’t like was gone.<br /><br />Sakura Sandra, I hate wasting my time on less than stellar books too, but for me, the third book made all the annoying things of book 1 and 2 worth reading through just to get to the third. <br /><br />The Slowest Bookworm, Eh, you’ll probably be bored with the first part like I was then. It’s not even romance. It’s one sided moping about romance. The rest does have some good action scenes, but it also has some slower parts. In the third book though? Meghan wears body armor almost the whole book <i>and she needs it</i>! Lots of action! <br /><br />Alison, Haha, I thought Meghan was <i> way more</i> annoying in this book than she was in the first! She just seemed to have her priorities all out of whack, but then again, I wasn’t Team Ash. :) <br /><br />Avery, My first introduction to this series was a one star review, so you’re definitely not alone out there! You can see in the Review Comparison I did for The Iron King that you’re also not alone :) Yes! What was with the prom thing?? So random. I have to say I loved the third book.Small Reviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16072352095510905410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-39676607625561245702011-03-26T09:01:35.612-04:002011-03-26T09:01:35.612-04:00Okay, so I just read this series a few weeks ago (...Okay, so I just read this series a few weeks ago (and I totally wrote reviews for them but I have yet to post them, no idea why...?). Everyone seems to have really loved this series, but I just find it to be so-so (so I am glad to see that we both have similar thoughts on this book and I am not just being uber-critical). I will say that I thought I enjoyed this book more than the Iron King, but having read your review I can agree that there is some totally ridiculous stuff going on, like the whole prom thing... Can't wait to see what you think of The Iron Queen!Averyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09043710129088565772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-76107020554048120682011-03-26T08:46:39.158-04:002011-03-26T08:46:39.158-04:00Hopping through.

I'm definitely Team Ash. It seems to be de rigueur that the love interest is mean and distant in the middle book of a trilogy.Alison Can Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908868606441539344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-15993173548299658132011-03-26T07:31:47.674-04:002011-03-26T07:31:47.674-04:00When I'm glad you enjoyed the last book LOL. ...When I'm glad you enjoyed the last book LOL.

I really liked the covers for this set and the first book was good from what I read of it so far, but I hate wasting my time on less-than-stellar books, so I am going to wait and hear more about the third before purchasing the second now. <br /><br />-Sandra from http://sandrathenookworm.blogspot.comSakura Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00756363557080064642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-16146147018134858352011-03-26T01:15:14.443-04:002011-03-26T01:15:14.443-04:00I still have only read The Iron King and thought i...I still have only read The Iron King and thought it was okay. I didn't get the Ash love as Puck seemed clearly superior-looks like this book won't change that but I'll keep an eye out for your review of the third, which maybe changes things.The Insouciant Sophisticatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03934853089105345052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-75356964986979695602011-03-26T00:07:08.429-04:002011-03-26T00:07:08.429-04:00I kind of skimmed this one and really don't re...I kind of skimmed this one and really don't remember much plot-wise from it, but I totally agree with you about Meghan and Ash...frankly I'm not too sure what she sees in him, he just seemed so cold and distancing to me (and kind of moody too). Puck is so much more fun! But I haven't read the 3rd one and given your reaction I am now kind of hopeful... :Ddanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07947267082874389487noreply@blogger.com
