bluehairedlesbian's review against another edition
3.0
it's based in this country called Town where citizenships separate people by what jobs they are allowed. Following siblings Do-kyung and Jin-kyung, we learn the stories of people they interact with daily and how they ended up in Saha Estates. I quite enjoyed the dystopian aspects of the book with the aspects of government oppression and corruption throughout the book. I feel that the aspects of how Saha Estates relates to real life in a critique of how we live now could have been done in a better manner.
I like the criticism of capitalism shown through how these individuals are suffering because of external governmental powers that they cannot control. These individuals that we meet in the book are living in a continuous cycle because they cannot afford to leave. Saha Estates is in essence what happens when governments fold to extreme levels of corruption and oppression where nothing will ever lift the residents out of poverty.
