4/5 stars

⭐⭐⭐⭐


Athena's Choice is a sci-fi/YA book set about 100 years in the future.

A "Y-virus" has killed all men, trans-men, and even some women.

This is a future that is 100% female, although scientists have found a way to reproduce, (which was a bit unclear to me.)

I liked this book more than I expected given the premise.

The author does a good job of world-building, and explaining things that are not obvious to the reader. Some of these things are not even that far in the future...

The book really caught me in, and I zipped through the story.

Someone has stolen the "Lazarus Genome" which will be used to resurrect the male sex, and Athena is key to the investigation.


The ending was also a bit different from what we've come to expect, and it really made you think.

Both sides put forth compelling arguments, and it certainly makes you think.


Thanks to NetGalley for a free copy of this e-book, my opinions are my own.
