Any good modern books with a blind or other disabled character? (self.Blind)
submitted by RollForParadise
I love reading new books, but it is quite difficult to find ones with bmain or secondary characters with blind or other disabilities. I would like to read something a little familiar instead of these sci-fi/fantasy books I’ve been seemingly stuck on lately. Do you guys know of any?

I struggle to find good blind representation as well, but for disabilities you could try: the young elites, features a partially blind protagonist, a curse so dark and lonely, character has cerebral palsy, the diviners. For the last book, you won’t meet the disabled character for a bit and I don’t wanna spoil too much. I will let you know if I think of any others. These are all young adult/fantasy but exceptional ones in my opinion.

I want to read “a curse so dark and lonely”so badly! I love beauty and the beast retellings to the moon… And the diviners sounds really interesting as well, is it a good series? I’m looking to really dive into something in the new year :-)

“Dog Driven” by Terry Lynn Johnson. No, it’s it’s not about a guide dog. At least not in the traditional VI guide dog.

This sounds really interesting! Especially since it takes place in Canada, hopefully I can get it at my local blind library :-)

Oh boy Hannibal Lecter? I’ve never read anything about him yet, is it any good?
