This book is very dark and bloody which I don’t usually go for but the concept was too interesting to pass up. I’m honestly in shock over this book and it’s ending. I never knew what to expect and Christina Henry was not afraid of anything when writing this. But I am afraid of this story. It was bone-chilling at times.

The ending of this book is so powerful I had to re-read it several times. Wow.

This is the origin story of

Captain Hook

This POV that I never would see as a kid who grew up watching Peter Pan. Like wow. It all makes sense now. Christina Henry wrote this so well. The twists?!! *chefs kiss* hella dark

I adored this peter pan twisted story. Jamie was such a good well-developed character that I really had empathy for. There were quotes in this book that really stuck with me. However, I will say it was much more gruesome than I was expecting.

Honestly, this is probably one of my favourite books of all time. The characters are so complex and I love reading them interact with each other.

From trying to figure out Peter’s mysteries, to Sal and all of the boys’ deaths, to Jamie finally getting away from Peter, but realising he’ll never be truly free.

This book is truly a master piece.

Predictable. Did like some of the character developments. Really disappointing.

It’s very dark so there are a few triggers, especially with a lot of it being to do with children.

Meine Sicht auf Peter Pan wurde sehr verändert, weshalb die Originalversion viel an Leichtigkeit und Magie einbüßt. Das finde ich sehr schade. Andererseits ist es meisterhaft, wie gut dieses Buch zu der Welt passt.
