Lost in the Never Woods by Aiden Thomas

4.0

This book is pretty good, but the pacing is a little off.  Things are slow during the beginning and middle, and very quick at the end.  Early parts of the book we also a little repetitive.  That being said, I love how the book explores the nature of having to return to normalcy after being somewhere so magical, and the realities of never growing up.  The character interactions were on point.  The relationship between Wendy and Peter felt natural, and Jordan's concern for Wendy impacted their friendship without making either of them unlikeable.  Also the twist at the end was great! Not the greatest thing I've ever read, but it definitely had it strong points.

Who do I recommend this book to?: People who like urban fantasy, fairy tale retellings, and stories about trauma.
Will I read more by Aiden Thomas?: Just based on this book, maybe not.  However, I've heard in reviews that people generally like their debut novel, The Cemetery Boys, better, so I think I will give that one a try.
