I went into this book not really knowing what it was about. I was pleasantly surprised by the fairly original plot idea. Of course there is a love triangle, like almost every YA fantasy book these days. Donna is an outcast in her town and has only one friend. A best friend named Navin. Donna is the child of Alchemists, although her father is dead and her mother has some sort of spell on her that makes her appear insane. Donna isn't sure what happened the night of the accident that caused her hands and arms to be burned so badly they had to be fixed by magical means. But she is about to face the world she thought was gone forever. Along with meeting Xan, Donna starts to encounter evil wood elves and even the wood queen herself.
This is the first book in a trilogy and I'm excited to see what the next two books will be like! While I didn't feel a great connection with Donna, I did like Xan a lot and will keep reading to find out what happens to him. Also, there are a lot of mysteries left unsolved at the end of The Iron Witch so I'll have to keep reading to discover the answer to those.
