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

Rise of the Y by Angela D. Shelton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book in The Y Chronicles series. It is a YA young dystopian story that has me completely immersed from the start. The author’s writing really brought the world to life. You can actually picture living in a world where everyone had a place and a purpose but no free will. With one group of people controlling all of human kind and stopping anyone trying to rebel in their tracks.
This is a story about one girls fight to find herself and break free of all the rules places around her. It is a story of love and loss, Rebellion, danger, duty and secrets that slowly come into the light.
Lexi has finally turned 17. She doesn’t want be placed in a role like her parents. To live a life that is uniformed with no free will. She wants the chance to find her own way in the world but How?
When she finds a diary detailing things about a rebel group called Y it sets her on the road of discovering all she can about them. Is this group the thing she needs to break free? Did her mother and grandmother have any knowledge of this group? Were they every a part of it? And what will be the consequences of her joining such a group?
When a young woman is torn between duty and towing the line and finally finding freedom and herself in the process which way will Lexi turn?

I loved this story and can’t wait to see what happens next.
