Two worlds linked by strange rips in space and time. A boy and a girl who aren't supposed to meet but find each other in a dream.
Emily Barnett has such a way with words! Her writing captures the dreamy, otherworldly lyrical feel of the story so perfectly. It draws the reader to Lyra, a planet with moon magic, strange and wonderful bioluminescent creatures, and dream Threads. But amidst the beauty there is danger too, a darkness intent on devouring everything in its path.
I loved that the story makes time for quiet, beautiful moments in the midst of all the action and adventure. I loved the depth of relationships, not just romantically but between family and friends. That's such an important aspect to include in a YA book. I loved the innocence and hope woven into the story even though the characters have to deal with some dark and difficult things.
Thread of Dreams is heartfelt, beautiful and full of warmth. Definitely a book I hope my kids read someday.
