However, I feel like this is one of those few stories where a few more pages (50-100) would have been perfect to deepen the story and character development (which I would critique the most: Jamie is already very critical of Peter from the first chapter and perceives his wrong morals; I would have preferred to read the horror's dawning on him).
Overall, I wish there was a second book to this. Retell the whole story, not just Hook's & Peter's beginnings. I need him to get his revenge.

This book is dark and graphic and leaves some important elements unresolved...but it felt intentional.

The beginning started of really slow and reading through the first half of the book was a bit of a pain, because nothing important really happend and the book didn't really get to the point. Many scenes were way too long and could be shortend a bit.
I loved Jamies development! His anger and annoyance for Peter were pretty obvious since the beginning.
The book was brutally written and at some points it was repulsive and disgusting to read if you keep in mind that 8-12 year old boys did those gruesome things like slaughtering others without a bit of mercy. This writing made the book really thrilling and fascinating for me. It was very gripping at the second half of the book because of the fast pace and hoping that your favorite side characters do not brutally die like most of the others.
The fast pace at the end made it also very enjoyable to read and even though we know the ending of the book since the beginning, there are many small plottwists and turns that keep you occupied.
All in all I would recommend this book and encourage to keep reading even if the first half is a bit slow, it is worth it.
