I got this book for my birthday.

The characters are intriguing, in my opinion, and well-written. I do understand their motives, but they aren't sympathetic enough. I am not fond of them.

After a tremendous amount of unpleasant events, the protagonist decides to start over. Therefore, she tries to hibernate for a year using drugs. Cool idea. I simply find the whole plot quite tedious.

Page 122, the only antidote.
 

Utvrdila jsem se, že odmítnutí člověku slouží jako jediný protijed na klamné představy.

 

I like the end. I'm glad the protagonist found peace.

Mediocre book. There are parts I liked more, however, I could get around without ever reading it.
