The Call by Peadar Ó Guilín
4.0
adventurous dark fast-paced

Fairly stunned I’ve never heard of thus before - dystopian school setting? disabled protagonist? fae? Stunning!

If YA dystopias are your jam put this on your list. The Call definitely flirts with horror, but it’s a fascinating coming of age as well. It explores coming of age in a civilization that cannot see a future - a complete degradation of culture and what growing up in a society that doesn’t expect you to live looks like.

This was a fast read for me, and I will be hopping directly into the sequel (and trying to balance my desire to now read more works that relate to the fae with my current towering tbr!).
