Review: Dust

Dust


 "Claire Kenton believes the world is too dark for magic to be real--since her twin brother was stolen away as a child. Now Claire's desperate search points to London... and a boy who shouldn't exist.

Peter Pan is having a beastly time getting back to Neverland. Grounded in London and hunted by his own Lost Boys, Peter searches for the last hope of restoring his crumbling island: a lass with magic in her veins.

The girl who fears her own destiny is on a collision course with the boy who never wanted to grow up. The truth behind this fairy tale is about to unravel everything Claire thought she knew about Peter Pan--and herself."


Author: Kara Swanson
Genre: Young Adult Fantasy
Series: Heirs of Neverland (book 1)



The truth about Neverland is far more dangerous than a fairy tale.


I don't even know where to begin...
This book was every. thing. It was absolutely beautiful!

I can't talk about too many of the details, because SPOILERS, but take what I DO say to heart.

Kara did an AMAZING job handling the age old fairytale we know and love. She kept the OG Peter Pan alive, but I could also see her unique voice in him. 

This book was MAGICAL! That's the best word to describe what was within these pages. Kara made every scene, every word, and every action come to life on the page and she made each one fly.

This book had so much more depth than the fairytale we've heard our whole lives. Kara took a beloved story, and made it better in my opinion! She added depth, character, and emotion. 

The story was told through Claire & Peter's perspectives, both in 1st person, but I could always tell which character's head I was in. She did a wonderful job separating their voices.

Claire was a bit on the dense side, but its a character flaw that she knows she has. Its also needed to move the plot along, so I tried not to let it ruffle my feathers too much. 

I'm CRAZY excited to how Shadow is handled, and what scrapes we're going to get into while we're in Neverland! 
5/5 stars!
