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.
