Book Review: Full Speed to a Crash Landing

Full Speed to a Crash Landing is one of those books that proved that you don’t need to write a gazillion of pages to make a story interesting. When I requested this book from Netgalley, I kept my expectations just a notch lower than high. Yes, I’ve heard of Beth Ravis and I’ve seen her books raking in excellent reviews for her other books but I have not read any of her books until this one. I’m glad that I picked the right book because I really enjoyed it. It’s short but action packed, straightforward, and hit all the nice…

Our female protagonist, Jaqi, who is a cross herself wanted nothing to do with the war and had spent her life in hiding and doing shady stuff. But just like the girl of destiny, she suddenly found herself in the thick…

Book Review: Defy the Stars

I wish I could defy my feelings after reading Defy The Stars… wish I could fool myself that the actual story is as awesome as the premise. Unfortunately, I’ve spent countless of days just staring at the screen of my Kobo, never really absorbing what the words meant. I guess this is a case of “it’s not the book, it’s me” problem. The whole time that I was reading Defy the Stars, I was just bored. I was expecting a humorous and full of bloopers storytelling (particularly that our male protag is a mech/robot who’s becoming more and more sentient)…
