The Iron Trial by Holly Black, Cassandra Clare
3.0

3.5 stars

Overall, I enjoyed my time reading this book, but like most people, I noticed a lot of similarities with the Harry Potter series. If you put that aside, I was pleasantly surprised because of the ending. You would expect Callum to be The One, who was chosen to fight the Ennemy of Death, but it's not him. That's the first thing that surprised me, and I'm really happy about it. Of course, there is something wrong about Callum. I loved what it was. Mostly, the authors will make this serie an interrogation on good and evil, it is pretty obvious. I look forward to see where this serie is going - I liked the world, the magic system and the school of course and would like more development of them. See ya for Copper year, Callum!
