"A Must Read Romance. This is one of the best books I've read this year. It has everything a book should have: action, adventure, violence, a butt-kicking heroine and one hot hero." ―USA Today
This world is trying to kill Lily Proctor. Her life-threatening allergies make it increasingly difficult to live a normal life, and after a completely humiliating incident ruins her first (and perhaps only) real party, she's ready to disappear.
Suddenly, Lily finds herself in a different Salem. One overrun with horrifying creatures and ruled by powerful women―including Lillian, this world's version of Lily.
What made Lily weak at home, makes her extraordinary here. It also puts her in terrible danger. Faced with new responsibilities she can barely understand and a love she never expected, Lily is left with one question: How can she be the savior of this world when she is literally her own worst enemy?
Set in a world of witches, magic, and romance, Trial by Fire by internationally bestselling author Josephine Angelini is the first book of the young adult fantasy Worldwalker Trilogy.

“A Must Read Romance. This is one of the best books I've read this year. It has everything a book should have: action, adventure, violence, a butt-kicking heroine and one hot hero.” ―USA Today, Happily Ever After
“Angelini creates an escapist fantasy infused with magic and romance, while taking up themes of science gone wrong and humans' endangerment of the world and their environment. The ways in which the two worlds mirror one another provide emotional resonance and fascinating possibilities for subsequent books in the Worldwalker trilogy.” ―Publishers Weekly
“The likable Lily is guided by strong convictions, and a startling conclusion will have readers anticipating the next chapter in the Worldwalker trilogy.” ―Booklist
“Readers will be swept into the inner workings of crucibles and witches and left eager for more . . . a richly drawn world of keenly devised magic.” ―Kirkus Reviews

Not only are the characters fantastic, but the plot is original and the concept is thought provoking and utterly cool! It reminded me on an episode of the Big Bang theory where Sheldon is talking about an infinite number of universes and an Infinite number of different Sheldons. That is the world you get introduced to in Trial by Fire. Lily Proctor is in our world, and then she isn’t. She is taken to a different world where a bunch of people are familiar to her, but everything else is so very different. Magic exists and witches rule. But that is only the beginning. Josephine Angelini does an incredible job of blending science with magic. These are witches, or crucibles as they are called, like I have never seen them before. I love that their magic stems from converting elements and substances that they take in from their surroundings.The book starts out in our world, but Lily quickly leaves and the rest of the novel takes place in Lillian’s world. Some of the characters up front confused me. I have no idea why Lily had a crush on her world’s Tristan. I know they were best friends, but I didn’t even get the vibe that he was a very good friend. He just seemed like a royal jerk. And the other character that confused me was Lillian. I know she is painted to be this power hungry killing machine, big bad villain. I do get why people would think that, she was hanging everyone in sight. But from her passages and her interactions with Lily, I just didn’t get a completely evil vibe from her. I know she is holding back a lot of information, and a small part of me wants it to be a great justification so I don’t have to dislike her. Because I don’t hate her yet. I can’t wait to find out more about her character in the next book. I just have a feeling it is going to be something good. But I will hate her in a second if she tries to encroach on Rowan! (just sayin’)I got really into the story. All of it. I loved the willstones, and I was just as fascinated by the whole relationship between magic and science as she was. I liked Rowan so much, but I don’t blame Lily for being confused by him. He didn’t give her too much to go on. I wanted to get inside his head a little more. But really, the whole cast of characters was great. There is so much action and detail going on in this story that you will never be bored. Trial by Fire is one of those books, where you get mad at the world for sending real life interruptions to your reading. I didn’t want to put it down.The cliffhanger at the end of this one left me cursing the fact that I have to wait so long for the next book. I am on the edge of my seat with this one. There are so many things that Josephine Angelini can do with the next book, and I can’t wait to see what direction she takes the story in. I have tons of questions that I can’t wait to delve into when the world walking really comes into play. This is a great one for fans of paranormal and witches. Trial by Fire is a riveting read that is delightfully original.*Disclaimer- I got a copy of this book for free in exchange for my honest review. I was not compensated for my thoughts.
18 of 20 people found the following review helpful. Disappointing. By Ari Terrible. Completely terrible for a number of reasons.I actually really liked the Starcrossed series. I thought Helen and Lucas were engaging, and had good chemistry. Lily and Rowan- not so much. Lily was terrible, for starters. When I read the book, I kept wanting her to be a Kaitlyn Fairchild type character (old school L.J. Smith character from Dark Visions trilogy), but instead she was Meghan Chase from Iron fey. Whiny, annoying and missing the obvious everywhere she went. Rowan wasn't as bad, but that was only because he was bland. There wasn't really much to him. A major thing that bothered me was the interaction between them. They would be having a slight disagreeing (mostly because Lily was annoying and pretentious. The whole "I'm vegan and yes that means I'm better than you" was ridiculous) and suddenly, with very little escalation, one of them would suddenly start screaming at each other. Overreaction, maybe?The plot was obvious. Halfway through I knew exactly how it was going to end. Surprise surprise, I was right.Also- can we move away from the 'hot-guy best friend finally noticed me only for him to then be discovered in a compromising situation with heartless slut and leads me to make poor, life-altering decisions with disastrous consequences' plotline? It's a little played out.

I actually surprise won a copy over Twitter from the publisher. I thrummed with excitement waiting for it to arrive and it arrived on the last day of GISHWHES week. I couldn’t read it yet! It was crunch time! By the time I picked it up the next day, I was dying from excitement.And yes! The first few chapters were really interesting. Lily Proctor was pretty much allergic to everything, moving towards an early death or life in a bubble. Her long time friend Tristan is making moves on her but is quite the user of girls. Yeah, there’s some magnificently douchebag moments from him. She finds him in the bathroom balls deep in another girl when she’s on a date with him. This spurs her pity party and world jump.Finding herself in a new Salem, she meets her other self, Lillian. Lillian is the reigning power in this new Salem, her word is law and her law has outlawed SCIENCE.Why? Well, magic would be just another tool if science was allowed to continue! So it’s time to hang all the scientists! Cue rebels! Science rebels! Okay, they’re only recently more science filled. Really, they’re just people who weren’t citizens of the cities who lived outside the walls. The cities have walls because there’s some fun hybrid critters who swoop in and eat people periodically. So, really, your choices are follow the rules or live outside the walls with murderbeasts.A section of the rebels eventually befriend Lily, this includes Lillian’s ex-lover and former primary mechanic, Rowan and this world’s version of Tristan. While Lily had some Tristan feels to overcome, they were nothing in comparison to what Rowan had to get over to trust Lily. Such tragedy, very back story!Lillian’s Salem uses something called willstones in order to direct magical energy. Turns out Lily has a fount of it and an uncanny ability to channel new energy where she needs it to go. She goes from being pretty much useless, to being one of the more powerful witches in this world. Too bad all she really wants is to go home. Even as she starts to fall in love, home is at the forefront of her mind.The book ends on a cliffhanger, one that unfortunately makes me curious for the next book even though there were some intense character flaws that annoyed me.What sort, you say? Well, Lily is a vegan. That in and of itself is -not- a character flaw. It’s her insistent need to remind everyone of the fact every chance she gets. Even though the meat in this new Salem is grown in a similar fashion from the leather hides she feels comfortable wearing (seriously, any animal product is still an animal product), she refuses to eat the meat. At one point, she eats an entire jar of pickles! That is not how you healthy vegan! It got to the point where I just wanted to kick her every time she said it. It was awkwardly thrown in our faces to show her spirited will and her willingness to stick to her guns. These things are also not bad, the execution just nagged at me.Yeah, that pretty much ruined the book for me. When you can’t get behind the main character, the secondary characters usually pick up the slack (think Harry Potter). Unfortunately, this book doesn’t let that happen. All characters are pretty much interchangeable. There are a few that stand out, but not exceptionally.I expected more from it, perhaps it was the high bar I set that soured it? Or maybe it was just that sour.
