Do think the treatment of blindness urks me. It makes an effort to say NOT ALL blind people feel that their condition is a terrible burden and curse, BUT in the case of Q. this is exactly the case. Have cake, eat it too, maybe not.
Not convinced that the Elsewhere Express isn't an existential hell where people are condemned to forget, yet still fundamentally carry their hurt and worries in bodies. Hellish heaven.

Dream like books can really struggle at length without something concrete to anchor them. Also, I'm convinced this is some sort of hell that Q and Raya have fallen into. A possible baddie is saying that too now, which means the author is aware -- but is possibly going to argue against. This might be a book were the villian is right, not the author.

Was worried at first whether it was going to be quirk/smaltz overload -- a bad Wes Anderson flic, but the aggressive dreamlike quality is winning me over a bit now.
