I loved this book! I thought it was very entertaining. The characters were very relatable and I grew very attached to them. It's a very dark fantasy so if you are not into that sort of thing, then you should probably pass.
It's about teens who go to school to get training on fighting to stay alive. Starting anywhere from age 10 and up, they get "Called" and when they do they are transferred to the Grey Lands where the Sidhe live. There they fight to survive until they are transferred back. The story when they are at school lets you see into their training but more important is the character development. The time in the Grey Land is the dark and very creepy parts of the book.
I found myself not being able to hardly put the book down. I hear there will be another book and look forward to it coming out. A word of advice though... if you don't know a lot about the Sidhe, do a little research first before reading.
