Rise of the Y (The Y Chronicles Book 1) by Angela D. Shelton – Review by Jenni Bishop

Rise of the Y by Angela D. Shelton
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Rise of the Y is the first book in the YA dystopian series, The Y Chronicles. This was my first experience reading Angela’s work and wanted to see what she brought to the table.
Angela has created an interesting world. It is a short, clean story with a Christian element that I found to be a little slow in the beginning, but it did pick up. I am not a religious person so I kind of skimmed over those things.
I really wanted to like it and the storyline was intriguing, and the premise was a good one even though I did not connect with the characters. Whether it is because of my age or not I don’t know.
Lexi no longer knows who is friend and who is foe as she is thrust into a world that she no longer trusts. She just want the freedom of choice.
With tragedy, secrets, rebellion, danger, deceit, forbidden alliances, lies, hidden diary, rebels it has a bit of everything.
Overall, this story wasn’t for me but please give it a try, I am sure YA’s will enjoy it.
