A fascinating spin on Peter Pan. Not just the trans!Pan angle (which is awesome), but also the way Chant explores the mechanics of Neverland: what's real, what real even means in a place like Neverland, and what happens to humans who stay too long. My nerdy, worldbuilding-loving brain is ALL AFIZZ!!!

When I picked up Peter Darling the book I read was not what I was expecting. This was much better. I honestly found this to be a really interesting story about learning to love yourself with a strong moral at the end. 
Would recommend
