It was nice to see them back in the Nevernever. And Oberon & Mab are willing to release the exile on them. Although they are not willing to accept Summer & Winter union. I have a very bad feeling about Meghan and Ash. I want them together in the worst way, to get their Happily Ever After. But I'm sooooo worried that wont happen. She's not going to be able to keep her fey prince.

And the scene at the end of this part! Oooooohhh, I love Ash and want them soooooo together.

I keep waiting for these amulets to run out and Ash and Puck get caught up in the Iron Realm. I'm very worried for them. There has to be major pain in this way coming soon.

Oh we see those from the past!

Rowan. Which we all thought we would see him again. Yucky! And evil fey.

Ironhorse! Oh, he helps from the grave. I love this little addition here. He new what to do to help with Grim at her side. Very nice!

Okay, I'm curious about the old Iron King and Machina.

1. Why did Machina pick Meghan to get the powers of Iron Glamour? I think I believe the story that he is not all bad. That he thinks Meghan could help add Iron fey to the realm of Nevernever.

2. How did Ferrum give up the power of Iron Glamour with out dieing? He was the original King, then Machina. So if Meghan can't give the power away with out being dead, how did Ferrum do so? Or did he never possess the power to begin with?

3. Did any one else pick up that Summer is deadly to Iron fey? Like Iron is deadly to the Summer & Winter fey. This could be a tipper on why she is sooooo deathly sick when she uses one of the powers with the block off her now.

The visit to the Clocktower!

Oh my. What is the key to or for? And why soooo long from this time. 161 hours 13 minutes 45 seconds. I have a dreaded feeling some one is going to die after she uses the key. I'm afraid, yet soooo need to know.

Oh, the gremlins! And Razor. They sound so adorable. Sharp, but adorable. :) I look forward to them coming to help in the future here. And I wonder what other Iron Fey they will bring with them. I have a feeling there are others that might come with them.

Oh and Glitch. he he he. Such a journey that Meghan went through to get here which is where Glitch wanted her anyway.

But the flying devises, or bugs, is really neat! I really like them. And they seem to have taken to Meghan very easily.

Makes me realize her Iron power is really coming to its power here. This is partly what scares me for her and Ash. Meghan is coming into her power and growing as a strong character. She really has come a long way from the beginning. I think I really like her now. She's not that weak girl, but a strong young woman who can stand on her own two feet and fight.

Oh! We finally get the answer to why Tertius looks like Ash. :) Pg 251.

Oh and Ash!!! This poor fey. Sounds to me as he talks about not having a soul and worried about Meghan (page 277-280) he just might have a soul in there. He talks about what he has done in the past and the prophecy against him, or the curse, that all his loves will be torn from him.

I worry over this part too. I just don't want them to be apart.

I wonder what Grim's side of the contract with Ironhorse was. I'm curious and hope we get to find out.

I also worrie about that.

The fact that Grim is always involved in everything makes me constantly wonder what he is up to.

I was happy to find that out too. I actually expected something more sinister.

Yes I was thinking there was something more sinister and deeper too. Like he was expecting Meghan or something. But that's what I get for over thinking things too. :)

Oh the scene at the end of this part was fantastic and well written!

I think the amulets are almost done by the end of the this part of the book. I hate to see the effects once they wear off.

Ugh Rowen makes my skin crawl! The way he is described reminded me of a rotting corpse. It's all I envision when he shows up in the book now.

I found the Clocktower to be really neat and I wanted to be sitting there with them. I too wonder what the key has in store for her.

Am I the only one who hears Gremlin and mischievous and not remember the movie with the Gremlins in it? lol

Ash definitely has a soul. Maybe not always but his devotion to Meghan shows he has one.

I wonder this too. I love Grim most of the time, the other time, I want to throttle him! He drives me batty with his riddles and disappearing acts.
