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

4.0

I received an ARC of this at BEA.

This is a really fun book! I can already hear the haters... a group of three young kids, a girl and 2 boys, have to defeat evil. Hmmmm- where have we heard that before?

Well, haters, let me tell you that you are WRONG. While this book does harken back to some typical fantasy elements, there is something beating beneath the heart of this story that makes it very different.

There are quite a few twists and turns that one wouldn't expect, as well as some adorable fluffy companions. The ending was not what I expected, and I am really interested to see how this plays out. The main character is not exactly the "hero" and I am really excited to see his inner struggles.

Definitely a good read!
