The Iron Trial by Holly Black, Cassandra Clare

This is a fun little middle grade, easy to understand and a good read. The action didn’t pick up until over half way through though so it was a little slow to get into. I will continue with this series.

2 STARS for the first 100 pages.

There's not much to say here, I read the first 100 pages and was neither impressed or felt like reading the rest of the book. The first 100 pages was boring, lagged and didn't really interest me much. Trust me I really wanted to like this but sadly it was a dud for me. I did end up skimming the last 200 pages and read the last two chapters and even then I still didn't feel much of anything. I just wanted to mention that I'm not going to count this into my GR challenge because I didn't really finish it. haha :(

Enjoyed it more than I normally do for a teen school fiction. Characters were clueless but not annoying and good set up for rest of the series without being a cliffhanger.

I enjoyed this a lot and can't wait for the second! I didn't see the end coming which revealed who Call really is!

There is definitely a Harry Potter feel to the books but with enough of a twist to make it interesting. I enjoyed it and will be reading the next book soon.
