REVIEW: The Iron Trial by H. Black & C. Clare

*DISCLAIMER: I haven't written a review in a long time so please don't be upset or anything if this one isn't as good as others are!*

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

The beginning I honestly found a bit weird mostly because of the throwback during the drive to the test but on the contrary I really loved the prologue.

I even found the test pretty funny but I can understand the feelings Call has even though he knows how it feels to be picked on it isn't like you adore it.

But I definaltely think the father is overreacting but in the end you know why but it is pretty dramatic anyway.

The Magisterium seems pretty cool. Even though the thing with like no windows and such would personally freak me out.

And as well the thought about all that magic going on is so overwhelmlingly cool I wish I would be able to do it! :D

I honestly like all of the characters, minus the bad ones but I especially love Master Rufus because he's so kind and carring even though you can't see it in the start.

And the friendship development between Aaron, Tamara and Callum is so sweet because they complete each other.

Oh! And Havoc is soo cute *-*

I just won't talk about the major mindblowing twist at the end because of spoilers but wtf!?
How.. ha.... NO WORDS!!!

I cannot understand how an author can come up with such a thing ooooo:

The only thing I think is that it seems there's missing some kind of further information which could have helped you to understand the storyline better but other than that I don't see any other "problems" :D

But let me tell you one thing:

This book is amazing whatever age you are!

BOOKTHOUGHTS: Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas

Goodreads link 

This is something I wanted to try out.. well as you probably know from the title of this post it has something to do with my thoughts on this book. And exactly that's it. I wrote them down during reading and after finishing it. Just my thoughts! THIS IS NOT A REVIEW! But I thought it would be cool to let you guys a bit in my head in the progress of reading a book. So if you like this, please leave a comment. So I know I can do it again because honestly? It was fun to write something like this. :D

And now the thoughts: 

These first few chapters in Endovier? I mean like 'Holy Crap!' this is so damn sad and makes me angry.. even though I really did like Celeana's thoughts in it. All kick ass! And then the flowers poping up in the tent the first night of the journey.

But I really do hate the king. HE does make CELEANA sweat and feel unconfortable! Helloo?! She's Celeana Sardothien! And to Dorian he isn't that nice either and Dorian is his heir! I think he need to seriously f*ck off..! Chaol and Dorian are both sweet even though Dorian is kind of a player right know and Chaol is all dark and mehh..but he's so sweet in some few moments *-*

And then the first weeks of the competion were Celeana isn't in her best shape.. it was so heartwrenching..! She always needed to through up and was weak. Maybe not completly weak but for her case weak. You know? But I so love how Chaol treats her. And Dorian is so sweet even though he is such a player! And the first meeting with Nehemia was so funny :D They talked not too nice about the persons standing right next to them and with such sarcasm and irony :D

Oh and have I already mentioned that I hate Cain, Perrington and Kaltain? Well if not, here you have it! They such arrogant, evil and power obsessed people I can't even.. And the whole Wrydmark thing... I mean like okaay? :D

And how Dorian and Chaol both fall in love with Celeana but both are like 'she is an assassin! I can't! but I do!'. Honestly I think it's cute. But I kind of am rather Chaol than Dorian so I don't like it how the book ends in it relationship kind of way. But hey! There's a second book! 

Oh and Fleefoot! Cutiepie *o*

And Celeana's change in strenght was so cool to follow and her friendship with Nox as well! But those test they needed to go through? Some of them were pretty rough.. But I enjoyed the one with the swordsplay where Celeana suddenly got all kick ass and everyone went silent and all were like 'wtf just happened??!' I seriously had to laugh :D

And gosh! The show down? Omg! Celeana's forehead with the wyrdmark? And Queen Elena? Yey! And all about Nehemia's actions? gosh!

But I just so do love this series ❤️



I hope you enjoyed reading my crappy mind :D
