Spoiler:

Again, a great book that disappoints me with transcendental or inane parts to make it seem meaningful (or something).

The main character in this book, when about to be killed, attains satori, or enlightenment, allowing her to connect telepathically with anyone, despite her not having the symbiote that supposedly allows telepathy. She becomes able to repair her body rapidly, and moves with superhuman speed to kill her captor by snatching his poisoned dart out of the air and shoving it down his throat (!). It was an exciting, realistic, reasonable book until this scene. Sorry for complaining; it was predominantly a good book.
