It really felt like a slightly over-long intro to all the characters with a small bit of plot; almost none of which gets resolved as it leaves you hanging in wait for the next in the series. Still, the character of Meghan was alright by the end and while much of the Faerie-land stuff was old-hat; there was the twist regarding the Iron King which really was novel and would make me want to pick up the next book to see where it goes.
