Half Summer faery princess, half human, Meghan has never fit in anywhere. Deserted by the Winter prince she thought loved her, she is prisoner to the Winter faery queen. As war looms between Summer and Winter, Meghan knows that the real danger comes from the Iron fey—ironbound faeries that only she and her absent prince have seen. But no one believes her.My Thoughts
Worse, Meghan's own fey powers have been cut off. She's stuck in Faery with only her wits for help. Trusting anyone would be foolish. Trusting a seeming traitor could be deadly. But even as she grows a backbone of iron, Meghan can't help but hear the whispers of longing in her all-too-human heart.
I loved The Iron King. And there’s no doubt that I loved The Iron Daughter just as much. As pretty as the cover, this book shimmers with utter brilliance.
The Iron Daughter starts off with Megan as prisoner to the Winter Faery. I love her patience and how caring she is. She’s brave too. The perfect heroine. Though not so perfect when it comes to Ash, the Winter prince. The man believed to have betrayed her love.
I love Ash. I love his iciness. I love it when he gets really serious and love how he loves Megan. But he sure hides it well seeing as Megan believes otherwise. There’s such big issues but can’t they see that they’re a great match.
The story itself is very magical. There’s more trouble as Megan senses danger. It’s up to her then to save Faery seeing as no one else believes her. The Iron Daughter continues to get more complicated yet all the more beautiful.
Kagawa has done it again! It’s very certain I will continue this series especially to see how everything will enfold with Ash and Megan The Iron Queen, here I come!

My name is Meghan Chase. In less than twenty-four hours I'll be sixteen. Countless stories, songs and poems have been written about this wonderful age, when a girl finds true love and the stars shine for her and the handsome prince carries her off into the sunset. I don't think it will be that way for me. Something has always felt slightly off in Meghan's life, ever since her father disappeared before her eyes when she was six. She has never quite fit in at school...or at home. When a dark stranger begins watching her from afar, and her prankster best friend becomes strangely protective of her, Meghan senses that everything she's known is about to change. But she could never have guessed the truth - that she is the daughter of a mythical fairy king and is a pawn in a deadly war. Now Meghan will learn just how far she'll go to save someone she cares about, to stop a mysterious evil no faery creature dare face...and to find love with a young prince who might rather see her dead than let her touch his icy heart
My Thoughts
The Iron King is a book I devoured. I adore this debut. I seriously LOVED it. Okay, so at first I didn't quite much and I'll say because it all just seemed quite fairy tale. I'm not really into this idea of 'faeries' but however I must say, I'll have to make an exception on this case seeing as Kagawa pulled it off really really well.
Megan is a true heroine. She's strong, caring and independent. Her brother, had been kidnapped and so she made it her misson to find him and then get him back where he belongs. Selfless? Nope! She's a character you just would love to be with especially since she's got all these other awesome characters tagging along. Puck. Grimalkin. Ash. They're all in unique in their very own way making them pretty much amazing characters.
Everything is beautifully enveloped in this debut. Very impressive. I loved how descriptive it was. There was action, romance, and humour found. I just cannot wait for the next book in this installment, The Iron Daughter and I assure you, you NEED this book!
