sophie_theresia_ 's review for:
The Iron Trial
by Holly Black, Cassandra Clare
When I first picked this book up I didn't want to have any expectations at all, but all the comments about it being a new "harry potter" wanna be story made me have doubts about it.
But those doubts where immediately blow away by the storyline I was confronted with.
The only thing similar to harry potter is this: this book is about wizards who go to a wizardry school.
But honestly? How many books are there with wizards and/or wizardry schools? Yes, thousands of them!
I was confronted with this amazing storyline, amazing background infos about the characters, and a ton of amazingly unexpected plot twists.
I think to sum up the feelings I had through reading this book there's only so much to say: As I reached the last 15/10 pages of this books, and thought I knew what would happen now, the story turned a full 380°. I DID NOT SEE SUCH A THING HAPPENING AT ALL AND THIS IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST PROVES THIS BOOK CAN GIVE YOU THAT IT IS NOT ANYTHING LIKE HARRY POTTER!
I think, before saying this is just another book which wants the fame of Harry Potter, just give it a try and you'll see fast enough that it's not at all like that.
I'd suggest it so everybody who likes friendship, magic, action, (Harry Potter) and just an amazingly written and well thought of book.
