traditionson 's review for:
The Iron Trial
by Holly Black, Cassandra Clare
Holly Black hits on another winner. Col lives with his father but is due to be tested by the Magisterium to learn magic. Follow his path as he struggles with his disabled leg trying to find what he is supposed to do as well as who to believe. Everyone is telling him something different.
A well written story with very different take on magic. Elemental and power of self as well as the soul with laws that make far more sense than those in Harry Potter. A beautiful tale that can be a little slow at times, with a lot of character development. It is highly descriptive spanning over a year with many different forms of mayhem. Occasionally the leg can be over used but nowhere near bad enough to make it a problem. It is nice to see disability placed in well and the discrimination that can occur or not occur.
I am highly looking forward to reading more of the series.
