Blurb:
The
rebellion is about to begin.
The
Imperium controls everything. They arrange marriages, dictate
professions, and orchestrate everyone’s destiny. But
seventeen-year-old Lexi refuses to accept. She’s ready to ignite a
revolution of her own, but fate has other plans.
When a
hidden diary falls into her hands, its weathered pages whisper of
rebellion and hope. Now, Lexi is thrust into the perilous shadows of
the elusive rebel group Y. In a whirlpool of danger, deceit, and
forbidden alliances, every ally could be an enemy. Every truth could
be a lie. And falling in love? That was never part of the
plan.
Caught between duty and a yearning for freedom, Lexi
navigates a treacherous path where love and loyalty are tested at
every turn. Who can she trust in a world where betrayal lurks around
every corner? As Imperium’s iron grip on dystopian Atlanta grows
stronger, Lexi must decide how much she’s willing to sacrifice in
her fight for freedom.
Perfect for fans of K.A. Riley and
Rae Knightly, this clean YA romance is a pulse-pounding journey where
forbidden love blooms in the cracks of a crumbling society. Rise
of the Y explores
the power of choice in a world that offers none.
My Review:
"Rise of the Y" is the first book in "The Y Chronicles" by Angela D. Shelton. It's unique yet familiar in many ways, reminding me of several movies I've watched repeatedly.
I love the world created for "Rise of the Y," even though I wouldn’t want to live in it. The story is well-written and surprised me in numerous ways. Angela D. Shelton is an incredible writer for conceiving the narrative of "Rise of the Y" and crafting all the characters.
The narrative feels genuine and relatable, suggesting that it could happen. Seventeen-year-old Lexi lives in a world controlled by a strict government. At the age of seventeen, everyone must take a test to determine their future.
This test reveals their future jobs and living situations, assigns them spouses, and expects them to have children. Housing assignments depend on their employment and family size.
The government dictates all their life choices, leaving them with no personal input. Lexi dislikes being ordered around and yearns to make her own choices. The question now is whether she will take action or continue to conform. What will she decide?
I can’t wait to see where Lexi’s journey leads her next in the second book, "Echoes of the Imperium," in "The Y Chronicles" series.
I highly recommend "Rise of the Y" to all dystopian fans! Grab a copy today!
