This book is basically Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows all over again. Meghan starts out in the mortal world, is moved back into magic, camps, finds magic objects, battles in a war, sacrifices herself, goes into limbo becomes a royal figure in her world.
I gave the first two books a 5 Star rating, and I wish I could have done the same for this. I just couldn't the plot is slower and much more boring than King and Daughter. I just had a lot of expectations and had a lot of loose ends that I wanted to be tied, that were left untied.
I did like the sacrifice, even though it was way too similar to the chapters 'The Forest Again' and 'King's Cross' from DH. After Meghan sacrifices herself to defeat the false Iron King, she goes into a sort of limbo where she meets Machina again, then she wakes up and becomes the Iron Queen. I must have misunderstood the whole Iron Fey aspect of the series, because I had believed that they were evil...but they redeemed themselves, I suppose.
Overall, the book was good, just not as fantastic as I expected it to be. But I think a lot will be given in The Iron Knight, a subsequent novel to the series, to be released soon.
