I enjoyed this sequel to The Iron King and I found the development of the Iron Fey to be particularly interesting and well handled.
On the other hand, Meghan's character continued to annoy me - I found many of her responses to be predictable, despite the obviousness of her situation and her emotions trite. I do like it when the center of the love triangle is at least interesting enough to hold the attention of the boys in question and Meghan, like many of her predecessors, does not strike me as convincingly appealing to capture the hearts of those who love her.
Is it too much to ask for both good story and good characterization? Does it have to be one or the other?
