Reviews with content warning for Mental illness - The Never King

This book was surprisingly good! I enjoyed the plot and the characters are endearing (even with their murderous tenancies), however, it would have been so much better with a little more world building.

I really enjoyed this book, I just wanted more!!! More of the book, more spice and more of the guys who keep saying they’re bad, but haven’t actually been bad yet!

One thing I will say is that the action / fighting scenes were brushed over quite quickly, but I guess that’s not what this book is really about.

I love Winnie’s character, and the struggles that she faced growing up were heartbreaking. I’m excited to see how her character grows throughout the series.

I love the plot of this Peter Pan retelling, I was deeply engrossed in the characters and the spice was definitely spicy! I can’t wait to read the next books, I’ve already purchased them!!

Loved this book if I could give it a higher rating I would. I've been struggling to find a book to keep my attention for a few weeks now but as soon as I picked up this book I couldn't put it down it captivated me from page 1. Excited to start book 2!

Ok, is this going to win any literary awards? No. Was it trying to be too big for its boots? No. Is this really fun and silly? Yes. Its a dark retelling of Peter Pan and the lost boys. Its spicy. Its rediculous. My only gripe was that it was meant to be enemies to lovers which i honestly didnt feel the enemies part of it.

I mean, it's spicy Peter Pan fan fiction. It doesn't need to be the best thing ever written, but the characters are super flat, and we are barely with them long enough to get to know them beyond their bedroom preferences.
