This was an easy read in terms of structure and flow. I was interested in the story and where it would go. I adored Grimalkin and Puck and loved their shenanigans at all times. I thought this had good storytelling, but I really struggle when kids under 18 have love interests that are well older than that, supernatural or not. I think the story could still have worked with less ick had Meaghan been 18. I know the series continues on with Meaghan older than in this book, but I think I’ll leave this series here. 

I was especially creeped out by the revelation that the Iron King had his eye on Meaghan for her 16 years and had been waiting to take her as his Queen. It would have been gross regardless, but her still being a minor really bothered me.
