I appreciated the style of writing and the world building, didn't like the story that didn't involved me and fell flat.
Not my cup of tea
Many thanks to the publisher for this arc, all opinions are mine

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.
