Summary from GoodReads:

My name is Meaghan Chase.

I thought it was over.That my time with the fey, the impossible choices I had to make, the sacrifices of those I loved, was behind me. But a storm is approaching, an army of Iron fey that will drag me back, kicking and screaming. Drag me away from the banished prince who’s sworn to stay by my side. Drag me into the core of a conflict so powerful, I’m not sure anyone can survive it.

This time, there will be no turning back.

My Review (Spoiler Free):

I love this series.  I can’t say exactly why I love the series (well, it could be that I love Julie Kagawa’s factions of the Fae courts and her treatment of their world), but I love this series with every teenage-wannabe thump of my heart.

It’s not even Ash I love, though I can certainly understand the swoony bliss of those cheering on Team Ash (much more then I could ever understand that Team “E”).  But I have had a thing for Puck since book 1 – root for the underdog, that’s me.  But what I love even more is that, while there is romance in these books, it doesn’t focus on that romance – like all of the YA novels that I’ve come to love.  Instead, romance is used as a building block for something more, something bigger.  Sacrifice, heartbreak, pain, fear, triumph – all of these things are such powerful emotions, yet they are often forsaken so the author can focus on just the big L.  But not Julie Kagawa, nope – she realizes that these things are powerful as well and that instant gratification is not something that should be included in every book.

I loved The Iron Queen.  I picked it up knowing I would love it and I put it down sighing happily at the installment and anxiously looking forward to the next, The Iron Knight.  If you haven’t checked out this series yet, I highly recommend it.
