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

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

Lexi has a decent middle upper class life with her father in administration. Imperium runs the world after the collapse and everything comes down to an exam you take on hour 17th birthday. Lexi has been groomed for engineering/administration, but ever since a field trip when she was 5 she’s longed to break the cycle and go work in the greenhouse. Thats not how life works now, a test decides her job and a genetic matching algorithm decides her mate her children. Lexi was not built to conform.
So she decides to throw her test on purpose but ends up in reclamation, then her grandparents are told they are leaving for “solitude”, people don’t return from solitude. She accompanies them along with her mother to say goodbye. As she’s boarding her train to work after saying goodbye her entire world explodes.
What will become of Lexi, who is the Y? Are her grandparents and mother alive? This was a great read very action heavy!
