I really tried but honestly I did not enjoy this book. The pacing is absurdly slow, the characters are just not interesting and the whole hook of the book, trying to understand the thawed girl, was just not well done. We spend more time seeing the main character Val have creepy interactions with Wyatt than we do with her trying to decipher anything about the girl and it just wasn’t worth continuing.

The things I did like were the small bits of actual linguistic information which I though was really cool, but it was underused and just kind of ignored most of the time. The whole suicide/murder plot with her brother also fell flat and I just did not care to find out what actually happened there either.

Overall a disappointment.
