*** 2.75 ***A Buddy Read with the awesome MacHalos!!! This could have been so much better than it is... I don't know, maybe it is a case of "it is not you, it is me" situation, but I didn't really enjoy it at all... I appreciate the thought and work that has gone into creating the book and the series as a whole and the previous book was not bad at all, but this one somehow took the air out of my enthusiasm for it. It could also have to do with the type of relationship that is portrayed in this v...

I had high expectations for this book even before I started reading it due to its brilliant debut. I wasn't the least bit disappointed with The Iron Daughter. It was as good as The Iron King, if not better. They story has a powerful and thrilling plot which brings readers on a journey to retrieve the Scepter of Seasons which was stolen by a new kind of Faery called The Iron Fey.The beginning of the story started with Meghan staying in Tir Na Nog, the Winter Court, where Queen Mab is the monarch....

I don’t think I even qualify to review this book as I gave it up after 100 something pages due to its sheer stupidity. I liked its prequel The Iron King just fine, it was better than other YA Fae books in comparison, at least.In this book it was as if Meghan’s character had taken a complete U-turn. She wasn’t your kick-butt heroine in the first book either but she was even worse in this. Firstly, I had mentioned the same in my review of 1st book as well - that Meghan and Ash didn't exactly lack

Mild spoilers ahead!Since a picture's worth a thousand words and all that, allow me to sum up everything that happens in The Iron Daughter.Girl meets Boy.Girl becomes obsessed with Boy. Boy treats Girl like crap and tells her to leave him alone, after insulting her in front of everyone.Girl does not react like this, as any self-respecting female would have.Or even this, which would have sufficed.Girl decides to weep instead.Friend falls for Girl.Girl pines after Boy anyway.Boy tells Girl they ca...

The Iron Daughter (The Iron Fey, #2), Julie KagawaThis series follows Meghan Chase, a girl who finds herself forced into the world of the Fey.The Iron Daughter: Meghan's adventures continue with the second installment of the series. She starts out in the Winter Court where Ash pretends to have no relationship with her. She attempts to convince Queen Mab about the existence of the Iron Court but Mab does not believe her. When the Summer and Winter Courts next meet to exchange the Scepter of Seaso...

See I have a thing about sequels -- they either hit the mark or they don't. There's no in-between point, at least not for me.And I loved The Iron King's mythology, charcters and plot, so I did have to wonder could Julie Kagawa do that all over again? Well,YA Fantasy Fans, she did even more!What I loved about The Iron King was the mythology -- the nod to traditional faerie lore and then the completely justified and believable addition of an Iron Court. This tilted the familiar power struggle betw...

Beware of spoilers!What a complete disappointment compared to the utter bliss I felt from the first one. Meghan is the reason why I gave this book a two! I shall proceed to have my fangirl moments and my complaints now:Fangirl moments:1. You see, the first 114 pages were decent. However, I must say I had a deep longing to see my Puck! I couldn't stand it. I did not laugh or giggle once throughout the beginning, considering that Prince Ash is an absolute bore.When Puck finally made his grand entr...

Worst piece of garbage I have read in years.That's the TL;DR version of the review. The longer version is a lengthier rant of sorts so strap on, if you're ready!You would think the sequel could not get much worse considering the first book had already a bunch of cliches, but somehow... just somehow it beats it by far. The Iron Daughter is full of predictable "twists", there is absolutely no mystery in anything, because everything is so obvious from the moment the first hint comes up, but of cour...

Fey, Fae, whatever you choose to call them, they are amazing, and while I haven't read so many books with fae, I am always astounded by the amazing stories they make up for.This one was a suprise. The first one, it was really good but I never thought I'd give the next one 5 stars, but it really was amazing so I couldn't help but giving the highest rating there is. So, the book picks up from where it left off in the first book. Ash delivers Meghan to the Unseelie Court. What happens next is for y...

Final rating: 3.5/5 starsI am so impressed because this was just soooooooo much more interesting and better than the first one. This was just coooooool ♥ (while we are at it, i dont even know how to write this review properly).So...before you read this one, i suggest you read the Winter's Passage which is kind of necessary because it shows how Ash feels for Meghan and his warnings to her about Winter's court (which she, of course, ignores) and the trip to the Winter's court, with a danger around...

I wasn't sure if I was going to give it 4 or 5 stars, because this book is very good, but it does has one mayor flaw that I found to be annoying.Meghan and Ash. When you think about it... What does she really know about him, besides that he's gorgeous and 'icy'? He tried to kill her several times now. I don't know but that doesn't exactly scream boyfriend material to me. Don't get me wrong, I nearly creamed myself when I read he has a silver stud in his ear. Add the billowing coat and I'm sold.

The second book in 'The Iron Fey' series, 'The Iron Daughter' definitely had my attention from start to finish. I'm a sucker for angst and emotional pain in my romances. This book was jam-packed with both. However, it also had a healthy dose of action for the adventure junkies out there.'The Iron Daughter' begins with Meghan in captivity at the Winter Court. Ash has transformed into someone unrecognizable, denying any feelings for Meghan and turning his back on her. As his antics become crueler,...

This book is so compelling and exciting! So much so that I need to share with you a detailed summary of the plot. Hold your breath from now, because I swear it's a roller coaster!Short but detailed recap:Oh, please.I'm so pissed off right now."You don't need a machine gun to kill a fly."No, but you'd probably need one to kill a Meghan, so I'd keep it within reach."I’m not some squealing cheerleader you have to babysit."On this one I agree. In comparison, cheerleaders have so much dignity that th...

2.5*I know I would have loved this five years ago. Sadly it's not 2013, and these days I demand better love triangle than this one in my stories.

the beginning had so much potential for me!!! i loved the prologue and then i loved how Ash was mean to Meghan and you knew it was because he had to but she really thought he hated her GOOD ENEMIES TO LOVERS CONTENT but then it was ruined because he confessed it was fake too early for me so then i got bored and then Puck coming in and confessing his love made me even more bored. don’t get me wrong i loveee love triangles but this one is so obvious who she ends up with and i hate those kind of lo...

Note: OMG the ending, God the ending kills man, you've got to read this blah blah blah. Love it I need the next book right now!Book Review for Iron Daughter by Julie Kagawa (Ray William Johnson Style)Note: Ray William Johnson is one of my fave vloggers on Youtube. His videos are called Equals Three or =3 and he's *bleep sound* funny, need I say more?What's Happening Forum? Guys now I'm going to review this book and yeah let's use pros and cons to make it a teensy bit organize...shall we?Cool

I feel very conflicted at the moment, because I don’t know what rating to give this. The story itself was pretty good, and the ending was sweet, but it’s just Meghan… I don’t think I can not take stars away from this book because of Meghan… I did some thinking about it, and figured without Meghan, this book probably would have gotten three and a half stars from me. With Meghan, I’ve come to the conclusion that it gets two and a half stars. I don’t know if that’s too much, and I’m being too gener...

MINOR SPOILER ALERTOk, um...let’s see..First off: I really, really liked this one. I absolutely love the world Kagawa has created and all the characters in it (IRONHORSE, YOU SERIOUSLY ROCK!). I love Ash, he makes my stomach do flip flops and my pulse race and I devoured this book just like its predecessor. There’s a but, though. Unfortunately, there were a few things that bothered me.1. Meghan told Ash too soon that she loved him. I cringed and smacked my forehead when I read that part. They di...

**6.12.2011 ETA: Finished book three and this is one of the most frustrating YA series I've read to date. If you've no tolerance for angsty, bratty, obtuse heroines, steer right clear of it.**When I first read The Iron King I enjoyed it. I found Ash intriguing, Puck endearing, Grim deliciously mysterious, and the iron fey’s origins refreshing. I applauded Kagawa for conceptualizing a breed of fey borne of our obsession with technology. I noticed obvious similarities between The Iron King and the...

Wow. I feel like I. just. can't. get. enough. of. this. world. As I was travelling through Nevernever, following Ash Meghan's steps, my wonder never ever faded. My dear friends who took part in Chelsea's birthday's buddy read can attest how much I got lost in this outstanding world, my heart aching to come back there. I fell in love with every single character I met, from this yawning, infuriating and hilarious Grimalkin to the giant spiders who... Wait, no. I'll follow Meghan on this : "I could...
