 (Short review) 
I loved the idea so much! At first I was skeptical cause I grew up with the Tinker Bell movies and I was curious what the author was gonna do. 
I liked how she included the neverbeast and other aspects of the Tinker bell and Peter Pan movies. 
I wasn’t a fan of how some of the characters acted but that’s to be expected. 
I like how the characters past played a big part of them and how slowly we learned why.
Peter and Lily are hilarious 
Peter and Claire are adorable yet frustrating.
I’m hoping to have a more in depth review eventually.

(P.s. I finished this book in a day.)

Dust is an absolutely magical story about learning how to overcome your darkness and let the light shine through your darkest pieces.

*The Characters*
•We love Peter. He’s the soft, broken boy of our dreams and we hold tightly to him.
•Claire is relatable and broken in so many ways, but she goes on such a journey in this book, so we stan her.
•Tiger Lily finally gets her chance to shine (I found her kinda lacking in the animated Disney adaptation). We love her forever and evah.
•N is like the coolest friend ever and I love him to pieces.
•The Guardian is also a really fascinating character, and I wish he got more page-time.

*The Plot*
Magical, epic, fantastical, and basically the cutest thing I’ve ever read.

*Content Warnings*
Mentions of attempted suicide, mentions of past self-harm, panic attacks, fighting, bloodshed, brief descriptions of injuries, burns, a kiss (non-descriptive).
