This book should be my favourite book of all times. Sadly, it is not. 
I found Miris passivity not very believable, the explanation of why she is so passive unsatisfying. Not even bringing her into a hospital once? Really?
Also, I wish the deep sea creature would remain unseen. Or take a bigger part. Feels neither here nor there.
