A review by sean67
The Iron Trial by Holly Black, Cassandra Clare

4.0

I suspect people will compare this the the world of Harry Potter, but this is a fine book and beginning of a series in its own right. The characters feel older than twelve in the book. The world that is created is interesting, with the plot and characters driving the story rather than the world itself. it is engaging and there are twists and surprises to keep the story going as well. It is clearly the beginning of a series and it is all far from resolved at the end. A book well worth reading, it will be interesting if the series can be as engaging the whole way through.
