At his side, there Bren, the beautiful green-eyed boy, very kind and devoted. Rose relies heavily on him to take his first steps in the world, except that everything paralyzes. In high school she also met Otto, with blue skin and yellow eyes, a genetically created under questionable protocol creature ... And there also Plastin, a species of Terminator programmed to find its target to the lead with his sponsor, even eliminate it if it can not be found. Very, very scary, indeed!
All this constitutes a novel bewitching charm, slow paced, with poignant considerations but whose conclusion is somewhat disappointing (it's perhaps a detail for others, but for me I found the choice of life Rose is necessary to rather unhealthy and wobbly ...)! Throughout the novel, Rose appears as a fragile girl, vulnerable, nostalgic and bruised. She lives in the memory of his first love, Xavier. It is sometimes strange and inconsistent in his actions, I must confess that it almost annoy me, but that was before discovering and understanding the cause trauma. Yes, Rose was the victim of a system, a victim of abuse of power, of having trusted victim, the victim of believing in its responsibility, so the victim to think that she deserved such a thing. It's awful, revolting, it moves your guts and it makes you think. Because it will take time for Rose to rebuild, if ever it does, and just for that, we forgive him his ethereal air for 3/4 of the novel! We too, reader, it will take time to digest such a strong and deep history, and is likely to haunt us for a while ...
