Daughter of Athena

We meet Amara the dragon slayer doing what she's been made to do, killing a dragon, at the start of the book and the action carries on from there. As her adventures continue, Amara finds out that there's an unexpected link between her and dragons and that people have been keeping big secrets from her.

I'm not the target age group for this book (by a couple of decades) but I read a lot of YA books and I enjoyed this one. I received a free copy of this book from Netgalley in return for my honest opinion.

I received a free copy of Daughter of Athena by A. Rose from Net Galley in exchange for an unbiased review.  Amara is a Daughter of Athena, a dragonslayer, bred to protect Chicago (now called Athena).  However when she is kidnapped by a militant group, her world is about to be turned upside down.  This is a great read, even for those not in the YA age group.  You feel like you are right beside Amara during her time.  The ending is not at all what you are anticipating.  I look forward to reading more from A. Rose in the future.

I was provided with an ARC of this title from netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review. 

Amara is destined to be a dragonslayer. In the post-apocalyptic world of Chicago, she bears the hope and burden of protecting her city. She uses magic to battle the winged, fiery epidemic determined to destroy humanity. 

When Amara is kidnapped by a group of vigilantes, her world is turned on its axis. None of the truths she has been fed are real. Not her purpose. Not her mission. Not even her origins. 

Amara must make impossible choices about who and what to trust. Once she decides who to trust and what to believe, she's going to have to pick a side.
