I like it, especially the non-dream bits. There are bits I don’t like and that I don’t get, all in the dream sequences, especially the last one. But overall good, and the story that launched an entire fic genre of which I’m very fond. Especially like the bit about the cruelty of leaving Susan to identify train wreck bodies. Also Susan was a professor, children’s lit expert, meta and books existing in-universe. I liked that.
