توضیحات

Rose had anticipated a brief period of suspended animation, a chance for a short reprieve from the chaos of her life. However, when she finally stirs from her prolonged slumber, the world around her has transformed dramatically. Gone are her familiar surroundings; in their place are remnants of a past she barely recognizes, infused with strange technology and disconcerting societal changes. The stark reality of her awakening leaves her grappling with confusion and a profound sense of loss.

As she navigates this bewildering new reality, Rose discovers the complexities of her relationships have shifted too. Friends and family have evolved, their lives carrying on without her, filled with secrets that tug at her heart. She struggles to forge connections amidst the strange dynamics, realizing that time has altered not just her but everyone she once knew. The bonds she thought were unbreakable now feel like fragile threads waiting to snap.

Faced with the challenge of piecing together her own identity and history, Rose embarks on a journey of self-discovery. With each encounter, she unravels the tangled web of her past, confronting the fears and regrets that linger even after years of silence. The emotional turmoil of reconnecting with lost time is both exhilarating and heartbreaking, presenting her with choices that could redefine her future.

Ultimately, Rose learns that awakening from a long sleep is more than just opening her eyes; it’s about awakening to the truths of her past and the resilience within her to embrace the unknown. It's a tale of growth, transformation, and the tireless search for belonging in a world that feels increasingly foreign.

هیجان‌انگیز و تعلیق

  I did not expect to like this anywhere near this much. I was expecting kind of fluffy, stupid treatment of the whole idea. Ooh, a Sleeping Beauty story that takes place in the future! There was no way this was going to be good. This was great. I liked the fact that there were some legitimate points brought up regarding the entirety of the cyrogenics idea. It was a creepy idea, with horrible implications, and the implications were actually discussed and handled, at least to some extent. There was romance, but it was not at all the normal sort of YA romance and it was handled well--there were some creepy elements, and that was recognized and discussed and made clear that there was something a little bit odd about all of it. I felt for Rose, who was in a pretty horrific position for multiple reasons. I have seen complaints about her not asking questions as quickly as she should have, but honestly, she was very well conditioned not to ask questions that might have awkward answers--I feel it would have been more out-of-characters for her to ask those questions. The entire situation was extremely messed up and she reacted in what felt like a very real way. I liked the side characters, and I did not see the revelation at the end coming. I'm interested enough to pick up the next book, though honestly I felt like this stood alone well enough that it doesn't really need to be part of a series.
