labraden 's review for:

The Iron Trial by Holly Black, Cassandra Clare
4.0

This is the first story in the Magisterum series which promises to be excellent. This book is a cross between Harry Potter and The Mortal Instruments series. The characters were interesting and well thought out. My only problem with the book was that unlike Harry Potter, the events and background were not completely developed. I'm sure that some of this is planned for future books, but I would liked to have had a little more of that in this book. However, I am really looking forward to the next book in the series.
