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)…

Book Review: The Eternity Key

The Eternity Key was a disappointment compared to its predecessor, Into The Dark, which actually managed to be one of my best reads in 2013. I was surprised that The Eternity Key bored me to no end. Objectively, it’s not a bad book. But then, how do you define a book that spent most of its time searching nonsensically for the Key of Hades and the compass? Add the fact that I had to wade through a lot of unnecessary internal monologue of our main characters that it was exhausting. And then, out of the blue, Tobin, one of the…
