Setting und Idee fand ich super und hat mir sehr gefallen, allerdings hat mir bei der Umsetzung einiges gestört. Angefangen bei den Charakteren, irgendetwas hat einfach gefehlt. Ich fand manche Dinge, wie die Grausamkeit Peters kamen fast schon zu viel vor, wohingegen andere Dinge und Themen bloß einmal erwähnt und dann vergessen wurden.
Dennoch war es für mich eine gute Geschichte, die sich schnell lesen ließ.

Frustrating. Jamie's exhaustion and deep sadness and his love for Peter that, especially in the early chapters, you can feel being twisted and stripped away, are all really good. And there's some nice creepy atmosphere. But too much time is wasted wandering around the island, with interchangeable boys getting into fights, etc. Also, I feel that eventually Henry crosses a line and makes Peter too evil -- only evil -- and that's much less interesting than if, you know, the situation were a lot more nuanced than that.
This book suffers from prequelitis in that what I really wanted was for Jamie's backstory to be the before, and for the narrative to then actually develop beyond the set of circumstances that we all know. Instead it just, um, cuts off before Peter Pan, because of course it does; these books always do.I guess I wanted to be reading actual fanfic fine okay yes.

So viel Tell but not show, dass ich das Buch gelangweilt zur Seite gelegt habe, um die letzten zehn Minuten der Bahnfahrt lieber aus dem Fenster zu schauen.
Es dauert mehr als zwanzig Seiten, um eine Szene zu beenden. Füllwörter, „sagte, „antwortete“, zu wortreiche Beschreibungen und zu wenig Handlung. Ein Jammer. Ich hatte mich sehr auf das Buch gefreut.

Occasionally repetative, but is a good twist on a childhood favourite

I thought this book was a very different version of the classic Peter Pan stories we all know and love. While i personally do not like when Peter Pan is personified as dark, evil, or cruel, this book was very interesting and hard to put down. I enjoyed all of the little hints about the real story and hearing a different version as to why some parts of the classic story are the way they are. This book definitely pulls at the heart strings and can make you cry, especially by taking a classically loved character and painting them as evil. It was also great to see a bit more of a back story between Peter Pan and Captain Hook. Would definitely recommend this book to all Disney and Peter Pan lovers!
