The book is also about two civilizations at war, so there are battles and clandestine missions. It is heartbreaking to see her sitting next to her father as he plays a song he wrote for his daughter, and know that he cannot reconcile the six year old Meghan of his memory with the teenage girl beside him. He – Charles – has been driven mad by the beautiful fairy, but patiently Meghan coaxes him back from insanity. Meghan’s always at her best when defending her family, and one of the first things she does in The Iron Queen is bargain for the restoration of the memories of her father so that she can rescue him from the mansion of Leanansidhe. I had hoped that this book would rekindle the enthusiasm I felt when I read The Iron King, and to some degree it did. After all, Meghan has already killed one Iron King…so what’s one more? Oberon and Mab make a one-time offer to the exiles: if Meghan will return to the Nevernever and eliminate the new Iron King, she and Ash will be allowed to return. Meanwhile, the Seelie and Unseelie Courts have formed an alliance to eradicate the Iron Kingdom, but the war isn’t going well. Meghan realizes that she absolutely cannot return home, for that would bring endless trouble down upon her family. Initially, Meghan plans to rejoin her family, but as she and Ash approach her mother’s house, they realize they are being followed by Iron fey. They will never again access the world of the fairies, but must make do as best they can in the human world. Meghan Chase and her lover, Prince Ash of the Winter Court, have been exiled from the Nevernever. This review may contain spoilers for previous books in the series.
