Review Detail

I think that this book deserves three cheers!!! I think that the new perspective on the Winter Prince's side of the Iron Fey story.

I think that seeing this side of the story makes Ash seem not as mysterious and dark. You can read how he laughs inside but not out. The winter court makes it's inhabitants coldblooded, but reading the Iron Knight finally reveals the hidden thoughts swirling in Ash's mind. This is a positive in this amazing series, as I would of gotten a bit bored of Meghan in this book, as running a kingdom is not a great deal of fun.

I loved the three trials near the end of the book. It made Ash and myself, think about what he was giving up for Meghan. This ending made you think so hard that it hurt. The choice of love or immortality is a difficult for some people, as sometimes love does not work out. But the final challenge, the one where Ash saw the future, was pretty heart-breaking for me. Reading about how Ash grew old, while everyone else around stayed forever young, was awfully sad. And when he saw Puck and Meghan dancing together, while he watched with a busted up leg was pretty intense. But I loved how Ash did not care about that at the end, as the love for his future family was stronger than being a loner for the rest of forever. I think he must of been an extremely strong character to make that decision.

I think that the journey to the End of the World was a bit repetitive. I think that it was a bit obvious what was going to happen, I think more twists needed to be added before it came up to the Gauntlet part. Also the mirror part in the Gauntlet needed t change. I think that the images should of not attacked so quickly. I think that they should of talked to their twins, seeing their pure selves for longer, before the evil twins attacked.

I reckon that this book was one of the best books in the series. The plot needed a tiny bit more twists, but other than that, it was simply perfect. Read it or the fey may come after you. I have warned you...
