I was amazed by how many different themes/concepts/issues the author covered in Dust. When I finished the book I actually sat down and wrote out the ones that I found most prominent/interesting:
-Love
-War
-Duty (to one's country (world))
-Family feud
-The loss of loved ones
-Sibling rivalry
-Eternal life
-Revenge
-Hope/determination
The best part about Elizabeth Bear's incorporation of these ideas is that she portrayed them all to extremes, which really made the connections between the characters and their personalities pop. Not to mention the intricacy they lended to the story line.
