Book Review: The Last One

So I finally tried listening to my first Audiobook, something that has been on my bucket list for so long but kept on putting off because there is this unnecessary fear that I might not understand the story. As you know, English is not my native language and I have this doubt that I might be wasting my time listening to something that I would not understand because of the accent. Heh. But anyway, I tried because first and foremost, I want to make my walking activities as productive and as less boring as possible. I already mentioned in my…

Book Review: Gemina

Although you’re not reading this, my biggest thanks to you for giving me one of the best gifts in 2016, my co-employee!

To be honest, it took a lot of courage for me to pick up this book because there’s always the possibility that it has been infected with the Second Book Syndrome. Thankfully, Pierce Brown has lots of tricks up his sleeve to ensure that Golden Son will…

Book Review: Red Queen

This one’s a disappointment. Instead of a book hangover, Red Queen left me questioning myself whether its positive points are worth the pain that I have to go through while reading the whole thing. It’s not essentially a bad book but I just can’t connect with the story, with the characters, and the whole love quadrangle. The premise, while not that original, was I think one of the reasons why I picked up this book. Got to admit that I wasn’t over the whole Red Rising craze and I thought that the Red Queen would fill the gap left by…
