lylias 's review for:
The Iron Trial
by Holly Black, Cassandra Clare
Ok. Ok. So... I thought this was gonna suck so bad, but I've never been more wrong.
I would've finished this the very same day (because I got glued to it) I started it, yesterday, but I had to stop only 'cause I had adulting to do.
First of all, I can count with one hand how many times I've been genuinely surprised - no, not just surprised - SHOCKED about a plot twist. This book managed to do that. Twice. And a third one that was surprising, but not shocking, but still... IMAGINE THAT?!
Secondly, the plot is great, the world building is great, the characters are great, everything's great.
I just appreciate SO much how the book is for kids, but it doesn't talk down to them like so many others. It doesn't take you by the hand and treats you like you're gonna break, or you're not going to comprehend what you're reading 'cause you're a kid. It was better than many other things for adults... It was a glimpse of the magic caused by Harry Potter.
This is my new favorite series. Thank you.
