No Ordinary Star by M.C. Frank
1.0
**1 star**
Five months ago, I gave this book 4 stars. I'm here today giving it 1 star because I no longer feel obligated to like this book for the sake of the author's feelings. I danced beautiful around the truth in my initial review, and it's sad that I felt like I had to do that.
This is extremely flawed book. I have tried to read it twice and I don't really understand the plot or the world Frank tries to set up. The characters are entirely unlikable, mostly because they're boring. There is an enormous amount of potential in this book but it fails to follow through.
Despite the short length of No Ordinary Star, it's a slow, actionless read. Literally nothing happens. They just get nostalgic about Christmas and hate each other (Astra and Felix). I also found the Christmas theme silly in a post-apocalyptic dystopia.
Ehhhhh. That's all I have to say.
