This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. Wow. Just, wow. This book just had its twists and turns. I swear, my jaw was probably hanging open (at least mentally) half the time.

I just love the way the author creates the characters. I love all of them, even if some aren't so nice (*coughMab* Hello, scary ice queen). Meghan is an amazing, strong girl. Many books have the heroine as a weak, dependent girl, and while Meghan does have several occasions in which she's the damsel in distress, she has her own head and a pretty good way with magi Wow.

Ash. Ash, Ash, Ash. *stares off into space dreamily* I fell in love with him all over again in the end. I was rooting for him in the first book, and determined to see him with Meghan in the end of the second. He wasn't that great in the beginning, but I'm a romantic, and I just knew that he would come back in the end. It's just how my brain (or maybe my heart?) is set. Love always prevails, no matter what. :)

Puck. Poor, poor Puck. I liked him in the first book, but really, I could only think of him as a friend, the way Meghan saw him. In this book, I didn't really fall for him, but I started feeling like he might not have been so bad for Meghan, after all. (And that would leave Ash for me.) I felt really bad for him in the end. Poor kid.

Speaking of the ending, we're back to the "Love always prevails" thing. I was surprised, and yet, I kind of expected it. I knew Meghan would choose Ash, but I wasn't so sure about Ash. When I read the ending the first time, I was like "Yeah, ok. They end up together. They're banished. Big whoop. They have each other." But then I read it again, I thought about how hard it must have been for them. So now I'm just desperate for the next installment. I have to see what happens next! I was just dreading to finish this one, because it meant I would have to wait for the Iron Queen. On the bright side, only 24 more days until its release! *throws a little bit of confetti* I'm saving the rest for the actual day. ;)

P.S. I'm pretty sure they'll show up back in the Nevernever. That's just how books go, don't they? They always find a way. :)

... Maybe I should stop reading books in a cliche way and stop predicting what's going to happen and rather just get into them. Sigh... ...more

Well this is the second book in the Iron Fey series, if you have not read the first one I suggest you do to understand a lot of whats going on in this book. After reading the Iron King I feel in love with this series and now after reading The Iron Daughter I can say these books are one of my fave series I have read in a lot time. I feel the whole storytelling of the Folklore was simply amazing. I felt like I was right along with Meghan in the book. So Meghan goes thought a LOT more trails in the ...more

I don't think I've ever read a book that fast. This series has the ability to suck me in the way few other books can.
2nd reading
Even knowing what was coming, parts of this book still brought tears to my eyes. I'm sure I will read it again , and pick up even more details.

Done! :) Liked it better than Iron King, mainly because you get to know the characters more, I alsways love books following the first in a series better. You have more of a story, a background. And yes...I cried.
