WWWWOOOOOOOWWWW

I’m a big Peter Pan retelling fan, and this one was tremendous. I’m a bit disappointed in myself that I didn’t realise the twist much sooner, but it was honestly phenomenal. I promise it’s miles away from what you’re expecting this book to be.

A great story, beautifully and brutally told, I'll definitly get more of the serious, a great twist on a childhood classic.

 This book was such a page-turner and it’s been a hot minute since I’ve sped through a book so fast. There were so many twists  that kept me on my feet, wondering and worrying about where the characters will end up.  And as for our protagonist, Jamie…you can practically feel the weight of all the years he’s lost by the time you turn the last page. 

 

What I liked the most about this book was that it just seamlessly fits with the original Peter Pan story. Original Peter was already a menace to begin with, but this book really casts that in a whole new light.
