Straight On 'Til Morning
by K.J. Sutton
I have fallen so unexpectedly hard for this book I don’t even know where to begin.
Owning to the book’s synopsis, I expected a stereotypical “badass-female-lead who has to kill her enemy/love interest until it is quickly a them-against-the-world-love... with fae” type of fantasy book but this story blew me away.
Firstly I love how close the author kept the story to the original Disney Peter and Wendy story. Easter eggs like the ticking crocodile and Michael’s glasses gave the story a nostalgic charm, all the while the book was far from Disney-rated. Think Lord of the Flies set in Neverland. It also must be noted that of all the fantasy novels I have read, this spin on a children’s tale had the MOST morally-grey and complex characters I have come across so far. Seriously.
I absolutely adored this book. This was my first read of K.J Sutton’s works, so I can’t wait to read her infamous ‘Fortuna Sworn” next.
