If there was one word I could use to describe this book, it would have to be awkward. Nearly everything about this book felt a little awkward to me: the writing style, the dialogue, the plot development, and above all else, the characters.The synopsis of this book promised us a dystopian version of Ireland that was bereft of young adults and teenagers due to the Call, a phenomena that transports teenagers to the Grey Land, the land in which the SÃdhe reside, for a total of 3 minutes (and four seconds), which is a day in the Grey Land. For those of you unfamiliar with Irish folklore, the SÃdhe are the Fair Folk, the Good People, the Fae. And these creatures hunt down Irish teens to torture, maim, and kill them as a form of revenge against the Irish peoples who long ago banished the Fae from their homeland of Éire (Ireland) to an adjacent land devoid of color and beauty.To resist this slow form of extinction, the Irish have built schools to teach teenagers how to survive the Call. Unfortunately, not many students survive despite their efforts. Enter Nessa (and everybody else who the author mentions in this short book).Nessa has polio and her condition has weakened her legs, making her an easy target for the Sidhe. However, Nessa trains hard and makes it known that she is no easy target. To protect herself from bullies and from the pain of loss, Nessa behaves like an ice queen and has only two good friends, one of which she is in love with.Cue the awkwardness.The interactions and supposed love story between Nessa and Anto was so thin and bare that there was no reason for me to believe there was any chemistry between them. And the friendship between Nessa and Megan was so clunky, I could hardly build up any feelings for the two of them, both individually and as a pair.I cared for no one in this book because the author did not do so well to introduce us to his characters. More than a few were side characters that died within a chapter or two of being introduced. As for Nessa, her qualities were near nonexistent and the only thing we learn from her is that she loves poetry, Anto, and life. She wants to live. And we get that for the majority of the book. But not much else.Nessa isn’t Called until the very end and so we’re left with chapters that detail other random students who have been Called and maimed in the worst of ways. These moments are interesting, but they still don’t really contribute much else to the story.The writing is mediocre at best and the dialogue among the characters is something to be desired. I’m not entirely sure how to explain this, so I’ll do the best that I can. It almost seemed as if each character were speaking their own script without listening to their conversation partner. There’s a disconnect and layered feeling to the text that makes it seem as if the characters are speaking to a shadow behind another character. It doesn’t match up and it doesn’t make sense at times. And there were several attempts at humor that almost always fell flat for me.This book is dark, and creepy, and gruesome, just as I was promised it would be. But the story was far too underdeveloped, the characters had few desirable qualities that would endear them to me, and the pacing of the entire book was off-kilter nearly 80% of the time. The SÃdhe were side characters even though they were the main enemies and the words used to describe them were recycled throughout: “pale†and “tall†and “beautiful†with “big eyes.†That’s about it. I didn’t know what anyone looked like really, and so the author should be thankful most readers have rampant imaginations, otherwise all his characters would have blank features and dark anomalous shapes.As you can see, I had a lot of problems with this book. Despite it all, I enjoyed the grittiness factor of it, which was entirely of the Irish sort. Old (and new) Irish texts can be quite gruesome and explicit, and so I thought this book fit well with Irish literature. Unfortunately, I would have enjoyed many more elements of this book if they were given more time and care. It’s a quick read and good for dark nights, but I’m not sure it’s enough to garner a re-read.
A very gory and unique take on the Irish legends of the Sidhe. If I were writing a pitch, I would describe this novel as being a cross between The Hunger Games and one of Stephen King's horror novels.The dystopian setting is one in which the Sidhe, in revenge for their banishment to the Grey Land, a horrific plane of existence, by the ancient Irish, have returned and invaded Ireland. All Irish teenagers are trained in "survival schools" for their Call - the day that the Sidhe call them to the Grey Land and hunt them before they are tortured, mutilated, and killed. Only one in ten survive. Nessa, the protagonist, suffers from a physical disability, but has resolved to survive nonetheless.The novel's take on the psychological effects incurred by such a society are in my mind what truly sets it apart. A sense of desperation and fatalism underlies most of the characters and the world they live in, and some people will go to extreme measures to increase their odds of survival. The story isn't all dark, though; it features a sweet romance and strong female friendships.This book features a great deal of body horror presented in graphic detail - beware! Also, I found the ending to be a bit abrupt, hence the four stars. (But I think the author was trying to set up for a sequel.) I recommend it for MATURE fans of horror/dystopian novels, especially YA.
This novel was so strange and creepy, it was one hell of a ride though. The writing, the mystery behind the other race and what happens when you are called, made for one hell of a thriller book. I don’t quite know if I will be able to put this review together well enough to describe how good and creepy this book is, but what the hell I’ll give it a shot.You have this incredibly weird Alien race that has had a treaty forced on them by human race, but the aliens don’t want the treaty anymore. They want their Ireland back, they no longer want the hell that the pay have been banished too. They call upon each human between the ages of 10 to 20. 24 hours on the alien planet is 3 minutes in Ireland, and each child is forced to try and do there best to survive and make it back in one piece. See the aliens have abilities that they can use on humans to cause pain and agony. The can also reshape humans into what ever they want too.The writing started out a bit slow, but quickly picked up. The way the author can keep you so interested you keep reading, but are so grossed out by the things happening was impressive. There were moments I didn’t want to read any further because I had an idea of what was gonna happen, but I wanted to know so bad that I kept going on.The MC is disabled, she has a problem with her legs that makes it extremely difficult to walk. I don’t think the book ever said what it was, but it did say it was caused by her getting polo has a baby. Now I can’t speak on the rep, I think there were issues in some spots, but overall well done.There are a few trigger warnings for this book. One being gruesome death, there are several different ways the characters die throughout this book, some being way more horrific than other so if that is something you can not read please skip this book. My second trigger warning deals with consent. There is a scene that involves two characters, one forcing himself on the other by kissing her and trying to touch her. It is stopped by a instructor, but if it is something that triggers you, skip this book.
