It has VERY sexually graphic scenes that make it very hard to continue reading and are very distracting. It’s fine if the point was erotica but it seems to be a shock factor

Beautiful art, character designs and world building. It gives the reader a new look on the complex nature and effect of war, people, society,etc. The characters are great, especially Marko.
Also, there are sentient robots with TV heads. Hilarious.

4.0

It’s a very engaging story! From page one I found myself invested in the main characters. I was personally turned off by some of the derogatory language used, and I kind of feel most characters have a bit of the same personality (snarky and harden, although that’s a bit justified given it’s a story with war as a central element).

👼🏽fun and funky fresh. Saga simultaneously manages to have lighthearted moments in the midst of war without downplaying the seriousness of the subject. The cast of characters are all interesting in their own ways and their story lines are connected enough to still see the central plot, but disconnected enough to  maintain uniqueness. The universe is vivid and the stakes are real; I am very excited to see where this story will go!
