Peter Pan has to be one of my favourite stories ever. I fell in love with the mysterious boy who never wanted to grow up and lived in a magical place known as Neverland. But not once did I ever find myself wondering what happened to Wendy after she left Neverland but then I found this book and now I know…
Wendy Darling remembered Peter and her adventures in Neverland long after her brothers forgot. What Wendy went through because of these memories absolutely broke my heart. All of the times when she waited for Peter to come and save her was a total kick to the gut so thank you for that one.
I really enjoyed the fierceness of Wendy’s love for her daughter Jane and the fact that she did everything that she could to save her. This book definitely showed that a mother’s love is more powerful than anything.
I absolutely loved the darkness that was in this story because it really piqued my curiosity. Now I find myself wondering if Peter Pan was always a monster that was hidden behind a whole lot of fairy dust. Either way I still love Peter evil or not.
I recieved an advanced copy for free, and this is my honest opinion.

An excellent imagining of what the Darling children's experiences would be after returning from Neverland. Makes ample use of the source material while also delving deep into the Edwardian age through Wendy's stay in an asylum, Michael's service in WWI, and John's assumed rule as head of the family after the Darling parents died on the Titanic.
The delving into Neverland through adult eyes, with Peter as an antagonist, was full of texture and substance. The only missing character was Tinkerbell, which was never addressed or explained. I was fully expecting Peter to turn out to be fae, especially with some of the details of fae lore that governs Neverland here, which wasn't what happened. Perhaps there would've been space for Tinkerbell if he had been fae. But turning the Shadow into such a crucial element to Peter's villainy was excellent. The story doesn't lack for the removal of the fae elements, especially since it means we spend meaningful time with Tigerlily and another indigenous character, the author's own creation with Mary White Dog.
I loved these choices on the part of the author, as someone who deeply loves the original, and wouldn't change any of them.
