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

3.0

I heard this was a good fantasy series from my friend who is a librarian - so I got the whole series and my 14 year old and husband both read it and really enjoyed it. I decided to give it a try too and it was all right. It didn't seem that special to me, but I might continue the series since my family liked it so much. There are a few similarities to Harry Potter, but I don't think it's a copycat or anything. I did like the characters and some exciting was revealed near the end of this book, so I will plan to read book 2 soon.
