Book #9: The Iron Witch, by Karen Mahoney
Mar. 27th, 2011 08:31 pmevil faeries, vaguely evil alchemists, fighting your destiny, girls are awesome, wow this is a great idea, listen while I myth at you, quasi-coming of age, that is a beautiful cover.
I feel like I have been waiting FOREVER to read this book. It's probably been about six months.
And I think it was well worth the wait, actually, because the story was really good and written really well, and with the exception of one tiny detail, I don't really have a lot to complain about. Heck, there isn't even a love triangle, which is something of an accomplishment in YA these days.
( Spoilers! )
8.5 out of 10 for a really great heroine, not at all annoying boys, and for being a story good enough that it's making me crazy with impatience that I have to wait until NEXT FEBRUARY for the sequel.
