The Iron Trial by Holly Black, Cassandra Clare
3.0
I've seen a lot of reviews com comparing this book to the Harry Potter series and I really see where they are coming from. There was a lot of similar things and just a general vibe but I actually liked that about the book. I like the dynamic of the book and the friendships. The book just didn't wow me.
Like, it seemed pretty generic for a book about a magical school and the is the villain that no one knows much about and then there is the chosen one to fight then. I got a bit bored in the book. Some of the tropes were changed in the book to become their own thing and that was pretty interesting.
Call was a very angry 12 year old and he got on my nerves sometimes. He also had a lot of sarcastic sass for someone so young and that was kind of unbelievable.
I like Aaron and Tamara. They were a lot of fun and really good friends to Call.
Jasper was the one that just tried to make Call's life a living hell and he didn't do a really good job in my opinion.
I liked Master Rufus. He was actually pretty cool. I got Dumbledore vibes from him haha.
This book was ok though and I want to continue on with the series.
