Story
Callum Hunt's summer break isn't like other kids'. His closest companion is a Chaos-ridden wolf, Havoc. His father suspects him of being secretly evil. And, of course, most kids aren't heading back to the magical world of the Magisterium in the fall. It's not easy for Call...and it gets even harder after he checks out his basement and discovers that his dad might be trying to destroy both him and Havoc. Call escapes to the Magisterium - but things only intensify there.

Story
The Shadow Market is a meeting point for faeries, werewolves, warlocks, and vampires. There, the Downworlders buy and sell magical objects, make dark bargains, and whisper secrets they do not want the Nephilim to know. As a Silent Brother, Brother Zachariah is a sworn keeper of the laws and lore of the Nephilim. But once he was a Shadowhunter called Jem Carstairs, and his love, then and always, is the warlock Tessa Gray. And Jem is searching through the Shadow Markets, in many different cities over long years, for a relic from his past.

Life is good for Magnus Bane and Alec Lightwood. They’re living together in a fabulous loft; their warlock son, Max, has started learning to walk; and the streets of New York are peaceful and quiet - as peaceful and quiet as they ever are, anyway. Until the night that two old acquaintances break into Magnus’s apartment and steal the powerful Book of the White. Now Magnus and Alec will have to drop everything to get it back. They need to follow the thieves to Shanghai, they need to call some backup to accompany them, and they need a babysitter.

Kid reviews by my 7&10 year old
My 7 year old says: The story is about lots of kids that had magical abilities like earth, fire, air, water and chaos and it was a phenomenal book!
My 10 year old say: Lots of cliff hangers, it was an awesome book I did not want it to end. I am ready to start the next book!
Adult perspective: My children were both engrossed in this story and talked about when waiting to hear the next chapter. Plus I enjoyed it too. Worthwhile purchase. As a warning, the beginning intro is a little dark but it sets the plot line and the book is not too dark for this age group.

Pleasant surprised by this book
I purchased this book for a quick listen during a long car ride. I thought it would be a Harry Potter knock-off but was pleasantly surprised that it is not. The plot is appropriately developed & the characters are thoroughly explored. I felt my credit was well spent!

Harry Potter it ain't!
What made the experience of listening to The Iron Trial the most enjoyable?
The characters were well voiced and most of the main characters had a seperate voice. The Narrator was animated and matched mood of the current scene well.
What other book might you compare The Iron Trial to and why?
I've seen claims that this is similar to Harry Potter and really it's not. I'd be more incline to compare this book to "The Dark Is Rising" volume 2. I think this is a better comparison because unlike Harry otter, both this book and the otehr are gears towards and older YA range.
Which scene was your favorite?
I can't really answer this without giving away spoilers
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes. While there were some areas that dragged, I was hooked form the beginning and had to resist the urge to skip to the end to find out what happened.
Any additional comments?
I'll be interested in seeing if the second book in the sereis stands up just as well as the first book. I enjoyed this novel because the characters seemed fleshed out, there was some mystery and not everything is neatly wrapped up.

Reminds me of a Darker version of Harry Potter.
Would you consider the audio edition of The Iron Trial to be better than the print version?
I'm a bit biased since I would rather listen to the audio version of just about every fiction novel over reading it.
What did you like best about this story?
The way the story reminded me of Harry Potter(love those books), but at the same time made me feel like i was listening to something unique.
What does Paul Boehmer bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Pretty much why i love audio books. The book comes to life. The character's feelings becomes more distinct.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
A unique experience for fans of Harry Potter.

Derivative but enjoyable
I saw a commercial at the Book Fair advertising this book that piqued my interest. The concept is Harry Potter meets Naruto. I enjoyed both of those series, and I am enjoying this one as well.
What I love: Havoc, the dog, has a precious little puppy heart and a really cool name.
What I hate: The wrist bands. It's contrived. Too much time is spent on wristbands and how they work and what they mean. Everybody has seen a letterman's jacket. We get it.

Good story
Story was good - can't wait for the next in the series. Read a lot of reviews comparing to Harry Potter, while I can certainly seer similarities - if you get expecting the same you may be disappointed. Read/listen to it and try not to compare. Both series are good, but different.
