Zuzana is bold in many settings but nervous about speaking to Mik; she makes a plan to meet him.
The romance includes a crush, nervousness about approaching one another, and a kiss. A macabre family tale involves a puppet said to taste blood; its place in the story may merit a check-in.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the book’s treatment of its main themes is not yet firm enough; some draft conclusions still depend on unresolved evidence.
