Thanks to Netgalley and Black Moon Books for giving me this book to review.

Trails of magic is a paranormal book full of magic and sisters who have different personalities and their relationship with each other. However, this book did not capture my attention and I struggled to care about the story. Aurie is responsible, caring and determined to be the best. Pi is reckless, shrewd and more outgoing than her sister. While I can see why people enjoyed Trials of Magic I just did not seem to connect with the story or characters.

4.5☆  Fun, Dangerous, full of Adventure

Aurie and Pi are the main characters.
They are both Sisters and both attending different Magic Halls, determined through a series of Trials.
If they pass the Trials they get to chose out of the 100 hundred halls which one is for them!
Good or bad Halls i wonder who will chose what!

After losing both their parents to magic they are determined to succeed.

The story is told through both Aurie and Pi which only enhanced the story as each sister is very different and it was refreshing to get both sides of the story.

The magical side to this book is fun, exciting, enthralling.... will the Girls stick to the Magic rules.... I guess you will just have to read it to find out.

Loved this new magical story. The support the Girls have for each other is great. Always trying to get each other out of dangerous situations. So much fun!

Would I recommend.... most Definetly yes.
It has something for everyone.
Magic, adventure, danger, demons... what's not to Love!

Excellent book set in an alternate universe,where two orphan sisters must overcome hardships to be picked for an education in magic. The only catch is that the magic might overwhelm them and either they won't get into school or they could be killed.
Good introductory plot for a series of books following the adventures of two very different sisters and how they endeavour to attend magic school on a scholarship basis.

Didn't finish this, and really couldn't be bothered to. The writing felt childish and the characters were annoying.

This is a well written story and although it has a Harry Potter theme it has a enough of a twist to be totally different.
The plot will have you glued to your seat turning the pages until finished.
Brilliant.
I cannot wait for the next in the series.

Trials of Magic is a story about two sisters who chose different paths to achieve the same objective, one chooses "good" and the other "bad".
Both hoping to protect the other after the troubling death of their parents. It seems that everyone wants something from the sisters and that Pi's decision could be deadly
Thomas K. Carpenter has crafted an enjoyable read. It's a real page turn and leaves you wanting more.
I’ve scored it..
Score: 4/5
