The false king is still trying to take over the Nevernever and he needs one more thing to accomplish his goal: the power of the Iron King. The land is slowly getting poisoned, more and more fey are dying and something needs to be done soon.

Meghan Chase, Ash and Puck are still banished from their homes, but that will soon chance once Oberon and Mab realize they need their help to take down the false king. They come to an agreement: The trio will no longer be banished, if they can defeat the false king and save Nevernever. Summer and Winter will work together to overcome their biggest enemy, something that hasn’t been done in a very, very long time. Meghan and her friends team up for a journey that will change the lives of every single creature in the realm. Fans will devour this book, and that’s exactly the way it’s supposed to be.

You’d think it’s impossible for a writer to come up with a series of books that just keeps on getting better and better. You know the characters, you’ve been through a lot of things with together and you’d think you’ve seen it all right? Wrong. This might be a weird way to compare things but reading The Iron Daughter was like putting on a comfortable pair of shoes: you already remember how much you love wearing them after a few steps. I’ve grown to love these characters; their personalities, their wit, the strong bond they share… This feeling is the strongest with the ones we are most familiar with, but even the ones we only met briefly, or the ones who are already gone played a very specific part in this story, each being an ingredient for a very potent formula.

Fast-paced, never a dull moment and action packed: this is the shortest way to describe this book. It’s impossible to compare the Meghan we met in the Iron King to the Meghan we’re following now. Her character slowly blossomed, going from being a little girl to becoming a strong, confident woman. A leader and a warrior. Her relationship with Ash is one of the most beautiful I’ve read about so far. Their love for each other developed at a believable pace, unlike so many other young adult books you read these days, making it strong and unbreakable. More and more, they became equals, ready to die for each other and do whatever necessary.

I’m on the edge of my seat, eagerly awaiting The Iron Prince’s entrance, banners and everything.
