Awesome book, because in the there was a twist.

This books is amazing if you're into magic books or what not. It's called the iron trial and written by Holly Black. Callum Hunt has always know magic was terrible. His mother died at the magisterium and his father lived. It's based in the 21st century. In the first couple chapters he goes to get tested to see if he needs to go to the magisterium. His father and him don't want to him to go. Callum purposely fails and the only time in history he got a negative score. He becomes friends with a boy named Aaron and a girl named Tamara. Callum get chosen to go to the magisterium even though he did terrible so his dad and him start running. The mages took callum and restrained his dad. They took him away on a bus and he'll be spending a long time in the magisterium. The protagonist is callum and the antagonist is the enemy of death. I won't spoil anything else because it just too good I. hope you enjoy reading it because I did.

This book is amazing! It was full of magic, mystery, and suspense!

This is an awesome book. I got my book at my school's book fair, and it was totally worth it. I was done with it in two days because it was so EPIC! If you like mystery, magic, suspense, and adventure, then this book is for you!

The book sounded really cool. It is about someone going to a school where you learn about magic, and you need to pass a test to get there.
