My younger brother (14 years old) got the first book of this series (The Iron Trial) at a Scholastic book fair at the school, and blazed through it. I ended up buying the next two books in the series (The Copper Gauntlet and this one) and they went over just as well. The writing is great, which is no surprise considering the two brilliant authors who wrote it. The plot is easy to follow, and is an interesting new take on magic in our modern world. It sort of reminds me of Harry Potter, but at the same time is completely fresh and new. I enjoyed reading the books as well. My one complaint is that they're so easy to read that you can blaze through them really quickly and the rest of the series isn't out yet. =)

4.0 out of 5 stars Short and fun middle grade fantasy read.
Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2016

This is the third book in the Magisterium series which is planned to have five books in it. This was an excellent continuation of the Magisterium series, I really enjoyed this book a lot. This has been a well done middle grade fantasy series which both me and my 9 year old son enjoy.

We see a lot more of Call and Aaron wielding their Makar talents in this book and learn a lot more about Chaos magic. Call isn’t questioning his evilness quite as much but is still struggling with the idea that he is the soul of an evil mage reborn.

Much of the story is focused on Call, Aaron, and Tamara trying to track down a spy in the school...a spy who may also be a murderer. Some interesting secrets are revealed about Call’s past and Aaron is struggling with what it means to be a Makar.

Overall this is a quick and fun read and I enjoyed it a lot. These characters are fun and engaging and the story takes some unexpected turns throughout. I think fans of middle grade fantasy will enjoy this series a lot. I love the elemental magic in it and how well the writing flows. I am looking forward to see what happens in book four.

Great and intriguing series. Really enjoy these books! I enjoy them more than the Harry Potter series because things actually happen in the Magesterium series, rather a lot of build up and small outcome like in the Harry Potter books. I’ve only read up to book 4 in Harry Potter to be fair. Anyway, Magesterium is a fun and interesting read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, short read; solid continuation of the series
Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2016

The Bronze Key is the third installment for The Magisterium series. It is a powerful addition to the series, and I had been waiting for it and purchased it on the day it came out. With that, keep in mind that this little review is from the point of view of a fan of the series.

This book feels a tad shallow, to be honest. It's writing is light, just a bit too light, and only hints at deeper themes. That's also not a bad thing, because the intended audience is clearly a younger one; perhaps just a few years younger than a Harry Potter audience. It's also terribly short, though that might just be due to the fact that I read through it in one sitting, eating up each page excitedly.

The story, however, is deliciously unique and deliciously interesting. Even as an adult, I find that I love it. This sequel has managed to continue that. A new, intriguing character is introduced-- Anastasia, a mysterious Assembly Mage who seems obsessed with white-- and current characters get more fleshed out. We learn more about Alex, are shocked by criminal acts, feel our trust betrayed, and ultimately follow the story, riveted, because it is interesting.

So it's a good book. I won't go into too much depth, because who needs to read spoilers? But if you've read the first two, and you're fine with the writing being just a bit light (I would personally /love/ this series written with a lot more exposition and depth, but to each their own), then this book will be excellent for you. Particularly if you want to see a bit more of the dynamic for Callum and Aaron, who actually seem to interact more and better in this book than the previous ones.

4.0 out of 5 stars Call wants to live
Reviewed in Brazil on January 20, 2023

This book had so many turns and I just couldn't put it down! I got so excited and curious. I wanted to find out who the spy was so badly and when it turned out to be Alex I was chocked, but at the same time it all made perfectly sense.
Alex is a crazy guy, there's no other word to describe him, he is nuts! I really enjoyed seeing Call learn more about Chaos magic and Constantine. I still would love to learn more about his past, it seems very important and interesting.
Now I need to say that the ending totally crushed my soul, there was no need to kill Aaron! I loved Call, Tamara and Aaron's friendship, and I'm so sad, still doesn't feel real that he's dead.
Anastasia's secret really surprised me, I wasn't expecting her to (not be Anastasia) and in fact be Constantine's mother.
This book is great, I myself am a Fantasy books lover and magic is something I adore. It fulfilled all my expectations! I'm going to start the next book tomorrow.
