A review by raclausing
The Iron Trial by Cassandra Clare, Holly Black

5.0

I love love loved this! I can't wait to get more!
SpoilerTo be honest, I was REALLY hoping that Ravan (Tamara's sister) was going to be the Enemy of Death. I thought that would give the series a real spin. And I thought that Callum would be a chaos-ridden. But then, getting close to the end, I knew that Ravan was not the Enemy of Death, and it was pretty clear that Callum was. But I love that! It is so cool. Now there are two Makars, Aaron and Callum, and I can't wait to see how long it takes Callum to tell his friends who he is. Ahhhh!
As for the prophecy (one will fail, one will die, and one is already dead), I think I have it down. Callum, of course, is already dead. That much is obvious. I think that the one who fails will be Tamara, because all her life that has been a gigantic fear of hers. And that leaves Aaron to die. I don't know if he will die for real, or come back to life, or whatever at the end of the series. But I am excited to find out.
