This book was such a page-turner and it’s been a hot minute since I’ve sped through a book so fast. There were so many twists that kept me on my feet, wondering and worrying about where the characters will end up. And as for our protagonist, Jamie…you can practically feel the weight of all the years he’s lost by the time you turn the last page.
What I liked the most about this book was that it just seamlessly fits with the original Peter Pan story. Original Peter was already a menace to begin with, but this book really casts that in a whole new light.
