Thread of Dreams transported me to the bioluminescent world of Lyra in all its wonder and mystery, capturing my heart with its lovable characters - especially Nova and Arlo with their connection that transcends worlds. Together they discover light, goodness, and love in the face of mass darkness and chaos. But more than a sweet romance, this story epitomizes the concept G. K. Chesterton immortalized - “Fairy tales do not tell children dragons exist. Children already know the dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children the dragons can be killed.” This adult needed reminded that the dragons can be slayed and that courage can be found by resting in the knowledge of the love I carry both from those who came before and those who still are. Do your heart some good and read this beautiful tale that encapsulates the hope and promise of moral imagination.
