About this listen

From the imaginations of best-selling authors Holly Black and Cassandra Clare comes a heart-stopping plunge into the magical unknown.

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 realizes 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....

Really got into it...

Started a bit unoriginally, but it got going quickly and kept the pace up! A good fantasy book... Now I'm just left wanting more!

Good but glaringly close to tropey.

A good book with a quick pace. it's very tropey but has enough turns to keep you listening. It took the entire book for me to warm to the characters and I found Call too passive and fairly grating as an adult listener.

The narrator did a fair job. There were a few times where Americanisms annoyed this English Geography Grad - specifically Stalagmites and Stalactites. He was excellent as Rufus but made Tamara sound slighlty wimpy, which is not how I interpret her character.

I have picked up the second in the series.

good storyline, boring narrator

I enjoyed the book, intriguing storyline although sometimes bonds between characters were a little unrealistic/ unexpalined. Excited to see where the story goes...awful narrator though, definitely worth recording with someone less irritating and dull

great book- but a warning if you live in the UK

Where does Magisterium: The Iron Trial rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

A fantastic book and couldn't wait to listen to the sequels. Now left utterly disappointed that they are not available in the UK!!
Feel like I wasted my time buying this book!

good but i kept loosing the story

exactly what I said in the title it was a good read and I enjoyed it but I kept losing the plot and thread and having to guess at what had happened. the story seemed to be bitty 2 me.... and somewhat confusing but it was good enough.

A good story with questionable narrating

the story starts of much as any boy goes to magic school story does though you learn that things aren't all they seem and the plot twist definitely mixes up the story , sure to be an interesting series but the narration could use some work , overall a 4/5

Entertaining but...

Enjoyed the book but it lacked the depth and richness of Harry Potter and the excitement of the Shadow Hunter stories. Nevertheless I was sufficiently entertained to move on to the next in the series.

Great First Installment

Compelling characters and story. Only wish the narrator's voice had been more youthful as they're describing 12 year olds, after all.
