SUMMARY:
A soldier is summoned to the North Pole, days before the year changes, told to fix the great Clock for a celebration. He has no idea what to do.
A girl, hunted for the crime of being born, almost dies out on the ice. She is rescued by the last polar bear left alive.
A library waits for them both, a library built over a span of a hundred years, forgotten in the basement of an ice shack.
The world hasn't known hunger or sickness in hundreds of years. It has also forgotten love and beauty.
This is the One World.
The year is 2524.
Inspired by the short stories of Ray Bradbury, this futuristic young adult novel in three parts is set in a world where Christmas -among other things- is obsolete and a Clock is what keeps the fragile balance of peace.
Written in three parts, this is the breathtaking story of how two unlikely people change the world, and each other, one book at a time.
In No Vain Loss, the world is on the brink of the greatest war humanity has ever known. Lives will be lost. New truths will be revealed.
3/5 Stars
REVIEW:
Tin Soldier & Match Girl have made a place in my heart.
Lets just take a moment to observe how gorgeous the cover is. I confess that it was the cover which drew me to this book and I'm just glad that the story was just as promising as the cover depicts.
I'm a big hoarder of books where the guy ends up being vocal about his feelings for the girl and Felix Hunter said just the things that made my toe curl and made me want to be Aster. <3
Though I'm not a huge fan of Sci-Fi, this trilogy was intriguing from the first book and it just got better with the second and ended the best way it could in No Vain Loss.
I sure look forward to more books by MC Frank!
