Barely any time has passed since Meghan Chase rescued her brother from the Iron King.

THE IRON DAUGHTER starts off with Ash showing up to collect on his bargain with Meghan and taking her back to the Winter Court. This book feels like I was at the start of a race and someone had just fired the starting pistol. From the very beginning, this story pulls you in and doesn't let go.

Meghan thought that after having defeated the Iron King, most of her troubles would be over, but there are Iron Fey who are trying to start a war. A war between Summer and Winter. Since the only people who have seen the Iron Fey are Meghan and Ash, there is no one who believes her when she tells them that the Iron Fey are the cause of their problems. It is up to Meghan and maybe a few friends along the way to ferret out the troublemakers and make them pay.

I'll admit, it took me a little while to get on the Julie Kagawa bandwagon. THE IRON KING was recommended by many of my friends, online and in real life. Well, I am so happy to say that although it was worth the wait, I really wish I had read it from the start. I enjoyed this story so much that I went out and bought the first one so I would be caught up with everything that had happened.

Ms. Kagawa has crafted a story that I not only enjoyed but one that I had to pry from my daughter's hands several times just to be able to finish it. This was a fast-paced, exciting read that has me ready for more from this wonderful storyteller. THE IRON DAUGHTER was a beautifully written story that made me feel as if I was there with Meghan the entire time. This was a fabulous sequel to THE IRON KING and a great second book in the series.

I am definitely waiting with bated breath for the next book!
