I would recommend this book to people who are looking for a Harry Potter style fantasy book, but don't be fooled into thinking it will fill The Mortal Instruments shaped hole that City of Heavenly Fire left. As well as this, the 'Enemy of Death' appeared to share characteristics similar to Voldermort.ĭespite this, The Iron Trial has a few totally unpredictable plot twists that are, in my opinion, it's greatest redeeming factor. From the whole magic boarding school concept, to the friendship group consisting of two boys and one girl, who had Hermoine-esque traits of being desperate to do well and impress. I found the general plot to be suspiciously similar to Harry Potter. At the beginning, the book started with a fast paced and brilliant opener but slowed quickly, with long paragraphs of unnecessary detail or skipping sections. I started the book with exceptionally high expectations and I'm saddened to say, that it failed to meet them. True to form, Callum doesn't succeed at attempting to fail and is rocketed into a world of magic, underground caves and friendship. Callum must face The compulsory Iron Trial, a test to see if he can enter the elusive Magisterium. All his life, Callum has been told by his father to never trust a magician and to stay away from magic. Unlike many 12 year olds his age Callum doesn't want to go to magic school. All his life, Call has been warned by his father to stay away from magic. Most kids would do anything to pass the Iron Trial. The protagonist, Callum Hunt is not an ordinary boy. Details Reviews From NEW YORK TIMES bestselling authors Holly Black and Cassandra Clare comes a riveting new series that defies what you think you know about the world of magic.
