I've avoided reading Sarah Monette's work because of her bad behavior during racefail09, and this comment does not incline me to pick up her books at all for one reason: the fact that Felix goes insane (or develops a mental illness in other words) and is then cured. Given the magical nature and the subsequent cure, I doubt it's well handled.
On a side note, the words "crippled" and "cripple" are derogatory and hurtful to people within the disabled community, and carry with them connotations of uselessness and pitiability. Really really really don't use it.
