Dust
by Kara Swanson
4.5 stars
Oh my! What a wonderfully enchanting tale! I was never a huge fan of Peter Pan, but this book made me one. It's such an exciting and captivating journey.
The characters were awesome. So complex and layered. Narration switched between Claire and Peter, but I never got confused by who's POV I was reading. They were both very distinct and fascinating in their own way. When there's more than one POV, I usually have one I gravitate to more, but that wasn't the case here. They were both so great. There's no way I could pick a favorite.
I fully expected not to like Peter. And I didn't to begin with. But as the story progressed, he really grew on me. Yes, he's still that same mischievous, arrogant, selfish boy we all know, but his character growth from the beginning of the story to the end was huge. I couldn't help but like him in the end. I really appreciated the little glimpses of his backstory too. It really helped me understand him better.
I had a blast reading Dust and highly recommend it to anyone who has ever loved fairy tales. It was a great twist on a classic. I'm super anxious for the sequel!
