Reviews and more on my blog: Entering the Enchanted Castle
Though at first I felt as though I was reading a treatise about Deaf/Deafblind rights in story form, eventually I was swept away by the characters, and raced through the exciting denouement, which although implausible, was certainly heartwarming. I would like to read more Deafblind writers about their own experience, but I learned a lot about what it's like to be an interpreter. If I were younger I'd be interested in training in ASL myself, but alas I think it's too late for me.
I've had firsthand experience of how difficult it can be to see guardians and caregivers not acting in the best interests of their wards or clients, so it's important to raise attention about that problem. I appreciated that all the characters had good and bad sides, all just trying to be human in their own, sometimes misguided ways.
