No Ordinary Star by M.C. Frank
3.0
I received an ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review.
No Ordinary Star has a great premise, set in the year 2524 in a world inspired by Ray Bradbury a fugitive and a soldier meet while each runs from their past. Their histories are complicated, overlapping in ways neither expects or understands.
The problem I had with this book isn't the plot at all, but rather the voice. Not only does the book jump back and forth between points of view, each chapter is inconsistent and at times even confusing. It would have benefited from an outside editor, and then I might have been compelled to await the second instalment.
