I very gratefully received a copy of Saha from @netgalley in exchange for an honest review. On paper, Saha was exactly the type of book I love. A dystopian society, multiple POVs, a dash of mystery, crime, science-fiction, class and politics…. Yes!

I was engaged from the get go. Then it fizzled out. Too many characters, plots, twists which don't really lead anywhere…
The ending was also frustrating.

Perhaps it was my high expectations. Perhaps I was influenced by the "low" Goodreads ratings. Or perhaps it just was not a masterpiece...
