You have to understand, I wanted to rate this 5 stars so badly. I'm absolutely enamored.
Of course, anything Peter Pan already has my whole heart. But this... Wow.
It's a children's book, so while I felt like it wasn't dark enough... I have to give it some slack. They'd almost get there, and then back off. But that's okay.
It's not my favorite writing style in the world, and sometimes the passiveness of the scenes irked me. As did the denseness of Claire, because the truth was right in front of her and she didn't know.
But overall, I loved it. I'm going to read the next book right now and ahhhhhh.
I loved the characterization, especially with how fierce tiger Lily is. I love Peter's character, because he perfectly embodies a child who hasn't grown up. And hook... Gah.
Claire got on my nerves a bit. But so does Wendy in every single Peter pan book ever (expect for Lost in the never woods). I had a feeling about N's true identity.
I'm kind of all over the place right now. I can't get the clock tower scene out of my head. And Peter?? What was that fake name?? Grrr
