The Iron Trial

By: Holly Black, Cassandra Clare

Narrated by: Paul Boehmer

Think you know magic? Think again. The Magisterium awaits ... Most people would do anything to get into the Magisterium and pass the Iron Trial. Not Callum Hunt.

Call has been told his whole life that he should never trust a magician. And so he tries his best to do his worst – but fails at failing. Now he must enter the Magisterium. It's a place that's both sensational and sinister. And Call realises it has dark ties to his past and a twisty path to his future. The Iron Trial is just the beginning. Call's biggest test is still to come ...

Critic reviews

"The Iron Trial is merely a setup and introduction, and promises to take subsequent instalments of the Magisterium series in a more complex and philosophical direction." (Starburst)

"A thrilling coming-of-age story that embraces fantasy tropes while keeping readers guessing." (Publishers Weekly)

Good

Good but definitely a 'young adult' style of story & lacking in sophistication one would expect as an adult but I enjoyed it non the less
