I had heard a lot about this author’s previous book so I was excited to be approved for this ARC. Saha involves a complicated world that I never felt like I fully grasped. There is a class structure where sahas are at the very bottom. I can see what the author was trying to accomplish with telling the story of the different characters but it fell flat. I think in a speculative or dystopic novel it is important to get to know the characters very well, so you can relate to the story even if the world itself is imagined. I got to 54% but could not continue.

Thanks to Liveright and NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

This felt way more like a short story collection than a cut and dry linear plot line. I enjoyed reading about the dystopian world but the jumping between timelines ended up being incredibly confusing. The pacing was also slow in most places and incredibly fast during the last 30 pages.

Bukan menjadi favoritku tapi tema yg diambil begitu deep. Bagaimana mengungkap ketidak adilan dan ketimpangan sosial. Bagaimana masyarakat kecil selalu kalah dengan kaum terpandang dan tidak pernah bisa hidup dengan lebih baik.

Ceritanya kemana-mana, habis dari thriller tiba-tiba ke slice of life lalu ke ala sci-fi lalu distopia ala 1984. Gak jelas.
