Publisher's Summary

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 . . .From the remarkable imaginations of bestselling authors Holly Black and Cassandra Clare comes a heart-stopping, mind-blowing, pulse-pounding plunge into the magical unknown.

an amazing part 1, better then harry potter

for me, a 15 year old student, i was assigned this book as a study project, but this singular book made me fall in love with reading so much that i just bought the whole series! this book gives all the harry potter vibes, but somethings different. its not like how harry found out about him being a part of Voldemort at the end, because he finds out right away. this makes readers including me intrigued to read more. 15 year old coming out here but holy s**t this book is so insane like bruh if you aren't reading this then what are you doing, drop fortnite and call of duty when you have a book like this lmao, happy reading everyone and stay safe in these uncertain time!

Ehhhh, not bad I mean it's good for people like me

It was very easy to read as my 9 year old son enjoyed it but it needs to be longer so it would keeper occupied for a long time (maybe a day). He would rate it 4 stars overall.

pretty good!!

I really enjoy this story and the narrator doesn't do a had job either, the ending was super good! It's a perfect read for people who likes school settings, elemental magic and also harry potter! going to continue with the series.

Fantastic

Didn't know what to expect but found myself not able to put it down. The characters are fantastic. I can't wait for book two.
