"From China to London, going through Italy and Mesopotamia, The Calling is the beginning of an end that you can't miss"
I said this before, but I need to say it again. This is nothing like The Hunger Games and if you read that somewhere, don't pay attention.
I love the idea to make this book so interactive, but all those clues to resolve a puzzle seems too time-consuming, but the idea was incredible. I came after this book when I finished reading I am Number 4, and I see the small similarities and this one is a bit more precise than I am Number 4.
I haven't read a book packed with so much action, killing, and different characters like this. It is a bit cruel with touches of divine justice, with unrealistic abilities and mercenary attitudes. I guess with the right training, we all can be what the myths have said: killing machines with control over one's body and mind.
The story goes around the end of the world and a game to save one's people. You have been trained for this, trained like all those before you. You have no limits. The faith of your loved ones and the world is at stake. Money, corruption, criminality, you chose how to play.
This is not country bound, go where you have to go and do it now. This novel was a good way to escape the lockdown, but also a reminder that the end is near. Personally speaking, something I love about this book is that day uses real places, mythological stories and places, all-time secrets, and mysteries to develop a high-quality adventure story.
