No Ordinary Star by M.C. Frank

4.0

*I received an ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review.

In the year 2524, where the males and females were living separately, books were abolish and everyone have to take pills to keep them in line and being feed for days without feeling hungry. A designed soldier named Filex has been told to fix the great Clock at the North Pole for a the New Year celebration which it was made by the infamous Clockmaster, and he finds out later that his grandfather was the Clockmaster himself, and he was dead.
In his adventure, he encountered a girl named Astra, who ran away from the people who was hunting her because of her father's crimes. She was dying on the ice, and been taken to the Clockmaster's shack by the last polar bear left alive.
While they were trying to get easy on each other, they were discovering the mysteries surrounding in the Clockmaster's shank, and one of the discoveries was a basement full of books. And from there, the real adventure begins.

I really loved this book. M. C. Frank did a very great job on writing it and making this world.
Her writing is so clear and engaging, she amazingly made the world so easy to imagine and gives you a thrill about what is going ta happen in the future.
The characters were so mysterious and I like that because I love when it comes to get to know the characters slowly not rapidly.
The world building was a bit creepy but I find it attractive and that gives a credit on making the story absorbing.
And fun fact that it's super short but full of interesting things.
I really can't wait to read the sequel!
