Episode: K8 by Jay Jimenez

I love local novels. I started out with Bob Ong books and summit media books. Then I got into supernatural stuff (spirit questors, kulam, soulmate) then books like Trese, Sky world and Naermyth. I've read them, loved then but have not shared my episodes with them. Why? I don't know but that will now change. I've decided to do reviews on local books that I'll be reading, and probably those I've already read. Like the rest of my reviews, they're my honest opinion.

K8 was a surprise . I never thought that it was a graphic novel and the world can be that built in just so many pages.

When I read the back cover , I immediately though of Marissa Meyer's the Little android so I knew I had to buy it. K8 is an android, a pleasure droid, categorized as a Tairan. A tairain is a being 75% - 100% machine. Unlike other pleasure droids, K8 has a glitch that cannot be repaired, she can think for herself.

It has the action one would expect in a graphic novel. K8 kicked ass. I was kinda disappointed with Bryan though. After they have gone to the hide out, it was like he'd gone weak. Kinda helpless.

Another thing I liked was in 125 pages, they were able to show us the world of K8. World building was not lacking. Although, I did get confused with the Tairans and Hambuns. Who and where are the hambuns? And are the tairans the dominating species now? I think I have to reread parts hahaha.

Another thing that I liked was the humor. K8 was kinda silly, I loved it.

There is only one thing, I think, that I didn't like, the size of the book. I would have liked it bigge . Hahahaha

Thanks for reading!
