This book reads really differently in 2020 than it did when I read it in 2013. I hate that this book is so relevant now.
Also a bit of disability politics in here that I didn't notice in 2013: If you disable a character but make their magic skill so the disability doesn't matter, it's effectively meaningless
Also a bit of disability politics in here that I didn't notice in 2013:
Graphic: Domestic abuse and Emotional abuse
Moderate: Child abuse
Minor: Pedophilia
Gaslighting That's the premise of this book. There's implied other abuses, and implied pedophilia.
