Review: The Iron Trial

The Iron Trial by Holly Black
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I haven't read anything by Holly Black yet but I picked up this book because Cassandra Clare was co-writing it. I'm a little bias when it comes to her writing, only because I'm in love with her Shadowhunters Series(no matter how many she will make.) When I heard the third book of this series was coming out, I figured I should hurry up and finish this first one then buy the next two. I first got this book a few months after it came out in 2014 and it's just taking me a few years to get into it and read it.

At first it was hard to read, I've been in a slight reading slump for a while and I haven't been reading a lot (very sad about that) but anyway, thanks to Audio books I was able to finish this book.

When I picked up this book and started to read it, I thought Callum was going to be about 17, only because that's the ages in Shadowhunters. Now that I'm 18, it felt weird reading about a younger character. It was harder to relate to some things. I also figured out that Callum is not pronounced like Calum (Only going by how the audio book says it). Anyway, the whole storyline felt a little like Harry Potter. I don't know why, but it might've been because they were 12 and could do magic? Nethertheless, it was still a great fun little read to help me get into reading about. Now I just have to pick up the second and third book and get all caught up!

Between 1821 and 1832 CE, the Greeks fought a war of independence against the occupying Ottoman Turks. On 20 th October, 1827 CE a naval battle was fought in the bay at Pylos. The Battle of Navarino was fought by the Greeks and their allies; Britain, France and Russia, against the Ottoman Turks. This was a decisive defeat for the Ottoman and Egyptian forces, and a pivotal victory for the Greeks, who’s success at Navarino led to eventual Greek independence. The Battle of Navarino was the last major naval battle in history to be fought entirely with sailing ships, although most ships fought whilst at anchor. The Allies' victory was achieved through superior firepower and gunnery. The involvement of the English and French was pr...
