Interesting Story but Needs Editing

The MFC, Lyra, whines too much but has a good heart and is easy to root for. The romance is tepid but there. It’s obvious the stakes are high for both the character and the empire both. For those who enjoy Roman mythos in fantasy fiction, it’s entertaining. It would be great entertainment if the author hired a competent editor, or at the very least ran a grammar/spelling check. Learning to show not tell would also elevate the experience. The errors jar the reader and flung them abruptly out of any kind of immersion. Learn grammar and syntax, please. Not sure I’m willing to continue to pay for glorified parts of a story when those parts have become increasingly unreadable. A shame because I like Lyra’s character and would have liked to discover how things turn out for her.

I was given an ARC of this book and I enjoyed it from beginning to end.

Lyra is a slave, stolen from her village and forced to fight as a gladiator for the pleasure of the emperor and bloodthirsty civilians.

Everyone has an element of magic and Lyra's talent is communing with animals. She uses this to help survive the trials.

I like how Lyra tries not to kill but only to survive the battles. She is kind yet strong and determined to get through five seasons to be set free...

There was a good mix of characters, not all likeable but suitable for the story. There was plenty of action and tension. Well-written and engaging.

I am looking forward to the next instalment.

Recommended.

Trust no one!

The people of the city are becoming angry and rebellious. The emperor plans to divert their attention elsewhere by bringing back the Champion’s Trial. Select gladiators will participate in deadly new games designed to give the people the blood they desire and perhaps rid the emperor of a certain annoying beast whisperer. Lyra Thornwind knows she cannot trust anyone but dangerous alliances may be necessary to survive these games.

Ironhold’s world is full of action, battles, magic, and scheming. It grabs you from the first page. I received a free copy but my review is honest and voluntary.

"Ironhold: Trail Three" skillfully blends magic, betrayal, and romance in an action-packed ride. Lyra Thornwind navigates trust issues and a sizzling love triangle while facing the brutal Champion's Trial. With twists that keep you guessing and a moral choice that hits hard, it's an entertaining saga that will keep you hooked and craving more!

Ironhold: Trial Three

I’m really enjoying this series. Gladiators with magic. Very exciting & of course the requisite love triangle. I loved the ending, it took me completely by surprise. I’m very much looking forward to reading the next book.

Riddled with editing errors

I'm really enjoying the story and characters, but the book is riddled with errors that take you out of the story enough to go, "Wait, what?" Annoying. I'll keep reading though.

Trial 3

I'm increasingly sucked in to this story. I like how each book is designed around the competitions. Protagonists and antagonists are developing great. I still think proofreading is sorely lacking. Rowan is typed as Robin and Roman within just a few pages.

[Lilithya · Rating 3 out of 5]

The wordlbuilding is getting more complex as the books progress and the stakes go higher and higher and the FMC is realizing the truth.

I thought that the FMC's moral compass while justifiable and easy to root for, is a little naive considering the situation she's in.

[Rowan Creech · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a wonderfully intriguing read with great characters and such a unique storyline. A very good book.

[Becca Mairs · Rating 4 out of 5]

Lyra continues to be a likeable character, and we see in this book how she begins to bend to the will of her enemies and take on a nature not her own - but to survive is to kill in gladiatorial games.
More twists and turns in this trial, which 1 thoroughly enjoyed. The plotting and the story are getting better as it goes on. Looking forward to Trial Four.

[Alexis · Rating 3 out of 5]

admittedly, I'm curious how this series is going to go on for twelve flipping books.
