I thought the siblings were supposed to be annoying, especially since they were viewed through the eyes of their little sister.

Well I thought the connection to Sleeping Beauty was Gemma trying to rationalize the horrible things that happen to her. They lived in what the Polish people called a castle (and she was given the name princess). All of her people were gassed and put to sleep (put under a spell). And she was rescued by a prince by a kiss.

I think she does remember what happens she just refuses to talk about it. Or, she refuses to talk about except framed as fantastical tale. I know a lot of veterans will refuse to talk about what they saw/did during the war.

Yeah maybe. Becca seemed to think Gemma had forgotten, but I guess she didn't really know.

That could be an interesting way of coping with it - framing it all as a story.

I agree that the siblings were supposed to be annoying. They were just also kind of annoying to read about in addition to being annoying to Becca. And they behaved badly. They were rude about Gemma before she died. They were bossy too.
