Then she randomly starts speaking, still sparsely, but it was already beyond irritating to me. Someone states something, she considers it. Someone asks a question, she thinks about it. Instead she just internally mused, endlessly. Even so, I'll buy the selective-mute aspect of her personality, especially in a society where the likelihood of someone listening is always high, but there could have been some sort of response. Instead, I spent the first 15% irritated that the main character, Phaet, hadn't said a single word or responded in any sort of way to anyone that spoke to her. I really should start re-reading the summary blurbs before starting the book - it might save me a lot of concerns and issues. Ultimately there were a few too many issues for me to enjoy this book. I was so excited and looking forward to reading this book, and was beyond excited when I was approved through the Penguin First to Read program.
