""Very nice woman," Henri said sarcastically.
I'm going to say it again: Don't describe how he said it unless it isn't clear (That's my problem). The statement was already sarcastic, ssying that it is sarcastic, loses the sarcasm for me. If the action was changed to "muttered", then it will make the satement more dry and sarcastic.
Then again, that's just my issue."

"Yes, I get it. Loriens are better than humans because they don't get jealous or insecurity or fear. Or pettiness. And no anger.
I'm finally convinced that Loriens are robots.
Alien robots."

"I'm watching the movie at the same time right now, and I wonder: An hour and eleven minutes has passed and it only has like a half-hour left. How were they able to summarize the last 200 pages in less than half hour?
No wonder it seems plotless and rushed so far: They cut A LOT from the book. A LOT."
