A review by claire_luna
No Plain Rebel by M.C. Frank
5.0
I received an ARC of this book from the author in return for an honest review. Thank you!
First off, you can’t imagine how ecstatic I was to receive an ARC of this book, since I watched it grow as a beta reader. Following M.C.’s process has been amazing, and working with her has been a great experience.
This review is spoiler-free!
This book is the second installment of the No Ordinary Star trilogy, set in a dystopian future. It stars two endearing protagonists who find themselves in remarkable positions, going against a regime that is threatening the world.
Astra and Felix’s relationship develops with poignant delicacy, the way they help each other grow is heart-warming, and I have to say I am in love with both of them. The world-building is complex, and the icy setting gives a brilliance to every scene (just look at the cover!). The minor imperfections don’t impede the enjoyment of this book, it is well-paced and with the right amount of plot for its short length. I was at the edge of my seat, even though I’d read it before!
The characters have captured my heart, the setting has enthralled my imagination and the writing has pierced my soul (that might seem over-dramatic, but there are some lines that I still cannot get over).
I would recommend this to readers who like their stories vibrant, dark and light, with pain and joy in perfect balance.
Also, each book is only $1.50 on amazon right now, and free on kindle unlimited, so you should really go check it out!
