This was actually a good book. Although I don't necessarily identify with Lawreth, even though she is also blind, I can see how other readers would. I know for a fact that the author did extensive research before writing the book, including spending a lot of time with blind students. Lawreth is pretty dependent, and slightly useless when it comes to certain things, but that doesn't mean she was a bad portrayal, just someone who hadn't really learnt to be independent yet. 
 In general I enjoyed the story a lot, Lawreth has an engaging voice and the characters are lively, making me want to keep on reading. I also loved the theme of coincidence, it was for the most part the best theme running through the book. 
 However this all changes when you reach the end, without spoiling it I'm going to be honest and say it didn't do anything for me. I found it really anticlimatic and a total disappointment considering I'd enjoyed the book up until that point. Whether as a blind person I identified with Lawreth or not is irrelevent, the story was engaging and extremely entertaining. So to have an ending like that it felt like a big letdown. It's the reason I've given it such a low rating, maybe people will feel like it fitted with the general tone of the book, but to me it felt too tidy and cleanly wrapped up just as I was expecting something more. 
 If you're interested in disabled characters in lit this book is worth a read. Lawreth certainly isn't a very independent blind person, i'd say she's lacking in many ways, but that is how some people are. I'm glad I read the book despite my criticism of the ending because it's one of the less cringey portrayals of a blind character, I just felt like the ending didn't contain enough for me personally.
