The Iron Trial (Magisterium #1) by Holly Black & Cassandra Clare

The Iron Trial (Magisterium #1) - 4 Stars

Synopsis

Most kids would do anything to pass the Iron Trial.

Not Callum Hunt. He wants to fail.

All his life, Call has been warned by his father to stay away from magic. If he succeeds at the Iron Trial and is admitted into the Magisterium, he is sure it can only mean bad things for him.

So he tries his best to do his worst – and fails at failing.

Now the Magisterium awaits him. It’s a place that’s both sensational and sinister, with dark ties to his past and a twisty path to his future.

The Iron Trial is just the beginning, for the biggest test is still to come . . .


Review

This surprised me and enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I read this via Audiobook and would highly recommend to give it ago. I put off reading this for awhile as people were comparing this to Harry Potter. But apart from the magic and the chosen three this did not remind me of Harry Potter at all. I like the writing of this book and will continue on with the series. I loved the dynamics of the three roommates. I also liked the twist that came at the end.
