Athena's Choice by Adam Boostrom
1.0

1,5/5. I have some problems with this book. First I would classify more in the YA, and not in the science-fiction. Second the message/moral that it try to share is weird/wrong or badly explain. That being said, the writing is alright, a bit above the average for a YA book, but the plot, characters and world building felt into the clichés of the genre and that hurt the rating. The young women who came out of nowhere, to become great and important, that had strange vision/dream of something and that she felt is really important. There is also the mixed writing, going from narrative to various reports, adds, message, and more, that was original a while ago but that we too often see now to classify it as original and that could break the rhythm more then anything, not badly use here but it didn't really bring something more. Overall this book felt like a check-list book where the author have some «in» or actual stuff to put into his book and put them in no matter what. Maybe slightly above average YA book, but not worth it in my opinion!
