I wondered what you'd think of this book. I had the same initial reaction to "sees magic and paints" (really, her art had to be PAINTING?), though I was impressed at how often she really did have no vision. And I was definitely impressed at the ending, given that my biggest disability book pet peeve is magical healing or compensation, and this book started with magical compensation and then took it away. And it was fine.

I quite enjoyed the book outside the disability narrative, but that was because I enjoyed the fannishness of starting the book with the romance in media res. But I could see why one wouldn't; the emoness for reals.
