The amount of time I wanted to DNF this book almost killed me, but really. It took me an incredible amount of mental strength (not because of the difficult topic, but because of the terrible wording) to finish it—if for no other reason because it was disproportionately expensive, and I wouldn't let my money go nowhere (now I know it might be a better idea to leave it). 

Anyway, the characters were all flat and colorless, weird and terribly annoying. I don't know, but I feel like all the male characters were sick, why all of them wanted to get all Mariana (whose name I read Marina in the whole book, thanks dyslexia lol), especially with her gray mouse personality it is a mystery. Theo gets some credit because he at least seemed normal. 

For most of the plot, nothing or very little happened. There was a lot of storytelling, but very little showing. Why Greek mythology (especially Persephone and Demeter) fits here is a huge question (speaking of the god of death, Thanatos would be a better choice), and the author (or translator) refers to her as the virgin goddess several times in the book, which is stupid because she wasn't (neither Persephone nor Demeter) The writing was incredibly horrible (I also don't know whether it's the author's or translator's fault), but really. The twist (if I can call it that?) gets a minimum credit because although I foresaw who the killer was, I didn't know who its partner was (?). The ending was closed so quickly that I didn't even know what had happened suddenly. I haven't read — only my sister — the silent patient yet, but I suspect the redhead patient was highlighted so much because she is the FMC in it (?) it's just a theory, I have no idea whether it's real or not, but I guess it doesn't matter any more. 

In conclusion, it is not worth your time. At all.
