The Call

“The Call” is the first in a duology written by Peadar Ó Guilín. The novel is set in a time when the humans had banished the Sidhe, which are like Fae, to a horrible land, and teenagers are ‘Called' to this place, in the human world, the ‘Call” lasts three minutes, but in the Sidhe's world, the ‘Call' lasts twenty-four hours. During the ‘Call' the human teenagers have to fight to survive, because most of the people who had been ‘Called' either come back dead and mutilated, or if your ‘lucky' you come back alive and mutilated.
The novel follows Nessa is determined to survive the ‘Call', even though people think that she would die due to her polio-twisted legs. Nessa is currently going to school, learning how to survive. Throughout the year she witnesses, a few of her classmates get ‘Called'.
I thought the novel would be bloodier, but it wasn't that gruesome, the novel was interesting. I did not like the novel as much as I thought, it was okay, I gave the novel a 3/5 Stars.
