I liked and still like the story of Peter Pan, a boy who is so determined to never grow up and stays forever 11 years old. However, I cannot find the best words to describe how well I think Henry did in retelling the story from a total different point of view and giving the children Peter takes to his island their own character traits.
This really feels like a beginning of how the story could have, might have and perhaps has actually taken its turn between Peter and his very first Lost Boy.

Peter Pan really is a brilliant villain. I'm obsessed with this concept. I loved his characterization in this book: it was deeply unsettling, frightening even, yet there were moments where I almost felt compassion for him. For the boy that is, essentially, cursed to be alone forever and does everything to not be. Who will never be able to grow past his egocentrical view of the world, will never know the happiness of a kiss, a hug, a mother. A boy who only thrives on blood and on other children worshipping him. Because essentially he -or the island- is like a god, who needs offerings to be satisified. It is deeply chilling and saddening at the same time.
Jamie's (changing) stance towards his relationship with Peter is another thing I loved. We are told he loved Peter once, but we only see him when that love already starts to turn to hate. Yet the memories of the love remain, and those can be just as strong if not stronger than the love itself. The melancholy and sadness of those memories really hit me, thinking back to the times where everything was sunshine and rainbows and finding that everything has changed for the worse. And having to look past those feelings to realize that that person you loved is not the same as you thought them to be. I found it very well conveyed.
