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!
