The Argent Star by Emerson Fray
Brief Overview:
(Science Fiction & YA)
Ren Argent is aspiring archaeologist and lover of history. Ren lives desolate and manufactured Earth. Everything is engineered including water and the climate by the Monarchy. Ren's brother, Elian Argent, believes he has found a undiscovered planet. Unbeknownst to them the Monarchy is aware of the planet and found an ancient Star Naming document that their ancestor purchased. They find themselves the new "royals" on this far away planet. Ren must try to make sense of a new world and new responsibilities. However, the planet itself is already in the middle of a political battle and the new royals are only complicating matters.
My Rating:
I give it a solid 3 stars. I like that Ren is trying to do what she feels is right even it goes against everything that she was raised knowing. I do wish that they would have described the planet a bit more so that we could get a sense of how it looked and felt there. There were a few twists and turns and a set up for the next book. It is well written but you know who the villains are at the beginning of the book. I believe that there will be more in the next book and that this is the setup to a larger story arc.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.
