it isn't necessary to read the first two disney fairy novels by Levine, but it does make the read more enjoyable.

Fairies and the Quest for Neverland by Gail Carson Levine
After months of not being able to get my hands on this book, thrift books finally had a used copy that i immediately bought. These books were so important to me as a child, and I’m so happy I’ve been able to slowly complete my collection.
There’s something healing about reading your childhood favorites. I loved this book and I loved the story, even if I found the main character to be unlikable. The artwork is stunning and the story is whimsical and whole reading I couldn’t help but wonder why the Tinkerbell movies didn’t just follow these instead.

(Reading the Fairy Dust Trilogy for the first time as a 21-year-old)
Probably my least favorite book of the trilogy if I'm being honest, mainly because if I'm reading a series about fairies, I want to read about fairies, not some human kid. That being said though, I still enjoyed Gwendolyn's character. I LOVED how she just abandoned Peter Pan in his once-in-a-generation two-weeks with a mainland kid and just chilled with the fairies the whole time. And Gwendolyn's fascination with all things fairies was sweet too. Her very first interaction with Vidia was funny - just imagine, Gwendolyn has been dreaming of meeting fairies her whole life, and when she finally meets one, it just wants to be thrown over and over again :D
I would've preferred having some fairy POV, but it was still an enjoyable book.

The whole series is very charming, the illustrations are stunning and GCL's fairy retellings add so much depth.
