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).
