Athena’s Choice: A Book Review (It’s More of a Rant)

Image
I read this book a few months ago, back in 2019. Here’s my review for it! Blurb (taken from Goodreads) Athena Vosh lives just like any other teenager from the year 2099.

Welcome to my blog, here’s who I am

Hey! I’m Maddie, aka Maddie Moo by certain people. If you want some book reviews, fan rants, weekly-ish blog posts, and creative writing-related things, you’ve come to the right place. Primarily I'm a student, but in my free time I write stories, lease a horse, and read waaay too much. I love Harry Potter and Good Omens (Ineffable Husbands is my OTP). I have a lot of opinions on a lot of different things and enjoy discussing them with people who think differently than I do. Also, I’m autistic and proud of it, so if you have a problem with that you can leave. Hope you stay and read what I have to say!
