My review
Every time I read a first book by a ‘new-to-me’ author, especially when it’s a debut novel, I always find intriguing the author’s writing style. With “Call Me Saaya”, it was all new to me.
I haven’t read that many books set in India, and it’s always eye-opening. When I started this book, the first thing I notice wasn’t the cultural differences, it was the vivid descriptions the author was giving us. And that quality kept going through out the book. One of the aspects in this book I quite liked.
So, as I dived deeper into the set and plot, and as I got to know more the characters, I got to really understand their motivations and the storyline. I loved how real some moments looked like, literally ‘looked like’ because of the descriptions and the powerful feelings in the book.
It was a book about love, pain, revenge, hate, attraction, loyalty and family. It’s about two people and the life they live or want to live. It was exciting, unexpected, with action and suspense that gave this story a good pace, with the other subjects in the book.
That been said, the descriptions, the characters, the pace and the twist and turns… Those were some of my favorite aspects of the book. And I quite enjoyed how they were the foundation for the all plot, for the storyline to develop the way it did and for the events to happen and run it’s course. That’s why the concept of the story was so much interesting to me, it made it unique and not just a normal romance book that had some troubles along to way.
