Ironheart by Jodi McAlister

5.0

NOTE: I was sent this book in exchange for an honest review by Penguin Teen Australia. All thoughts and opinions are entirely my own. Review on my channel to come.

MY FIRST FIVE-STAR READ OF 2018!

My goodness - Ironheart was a good one! After a year of anticipating it, I was overjoyed to read it. But now the problem is that the cliffhanger is hurting me so much!

I loved this book because:
- It shows another side to the characters that we grew to love in the first book for better or worse and it produces depth within those characters
- The fairy realm is expanded upon as opposed to the first book. The first book did have those elements but not as much as this book does. The world building was doing perfectly.
- Pearl coming into her own as a strong independent woman. Her character development when it comes to independence is slower than the average female heroine, but I like that about her because it is very realistic and relatable. I feel like we are going to see more independence from her in the final instalment.
- Finn Blacklin is bae

The wait is on for the final book in this trilogy - BRING. IT. ON.
