The Iron Daughter by Julie Kagawa

Half Summer faery princess, half human, Meghan has never fit in anywhere. Deserted by the Winter prince she thought loved her, she is prisoner to the Winter faery queen. As war looms between Summer and Winter, Meghan knows that the real danger comes from the Iron fey —ironbound faeries that only she and her absent prince have seen. But no one believes her. Worse, Meghan's own fey powers have been cut off. She's stuck in Faery with only her wits for help. Trusting anyone would be foolish. Trusting a seeming traitor could be deadly. But even as she grows a backbone of iron, Meghan can't help but hear the whispers of longing in her all-too-human heart.

Pro's/Con's
You know, I still think that Meghan was a bit annoying and obsessive about the Ash in this book, a bit whiny in the beginning and such but after the first few chapters she got her stuff together and was ready for some action.
I really enoyed the beginning and ending of this book. They were filled with action, so much action, that I was just sitting at the edge of my chair (and almost falling off at times). The middle part has some lesser action but still is a lot of fun the read.
One of the things that I enjoy the most in this series are the characters. They are all so different and unique I just love them. And all my favorite ones are back in this second part! Meghan, Ash, Grimm, Puck and Ironhorse are all there to join the party and make it an awesome story. The couple of new ones that are introduced in this part are also very cool. I especially love Leanansidhe, I hope that she will return in some of the other parts in this series!
The antagonists in this book were very interesting, I like that you get to see more of them then the Ironking in the first book and I was somehow much better able to form a mental picture of them. They also seemd to be somewhat more evil then the Ironking, with all the things that they have done I find them pretty scary myself. Not someone I would like to meet in a dark alley at night, not at all!

Recommend it?
Yes, if you have read (and withstand Meghans whining) the first book you will love the second one. It has all those awesome characters and a lot of action and some revelations! Personally, I can't wait to read the next book!
