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.

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 couldn't even finish the first chapter. I couldn't connect with the main character. The writing feels very info dumpy and the Y chromosome issue is very badly explained - men have an X chromosome as well as the Y, so why is not being able to edit the Y a problem? Maybe there's a valid explanation for this, but it isn't on the pages.
