The Iron King - Julie Kagawa

I feel like the author went "you know what the Labrynth needs?  for the heroine to be even more of a special flower and a love triangle."

 

not hating on it, just not loving it.  probably a 2.5 star.

 

wouldn't mind a little more subtly in plot hinting.  i mean, "robbie goodfell"?  though considering the fact that iron makes fey feel poorly is apparently a surprise perhaps the target audience is not those familiar with fey lore?
