So I am writing an epileptic MC... Beyond the scientific research, I've also been doing a lot of lurking in forums. It's one thing to read about potential side effects, etc, etc, and another to see what most people are complaining about.

I've also got a lot of reading to do.

Books with Epileptic Characters

The Queen's Fool (adult historical)
Incarceron & Sapphique (YA steampunk)
The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian (MG contemporary - doesn't come up, just a passing line about history)
How Evan Broke His Head and Other Secrets (contemporary)
The Universe Versus Alex Woods (YA magical realism? contemporary? I don't know yet)
Epileptic (graphic novel)
Prizefighter en Mi Casa (MG contemporary)
The Way of Kings (Supposedly. Adult fantasy in any case.)

Haven't read the ones at the bottom of the list yet.

The Queen's Fool is historical fiction set in the Tudor period about a Jewish girl brought to court as a spy and holy fool. If you ignore the fantastical elements, there's a significant amount of research thrown in about John Dee and the academic world's treatment of the Jewish and Muslim faiths at the time.
