Oh my gosh. This book… this whole TRILOGY was such a wild, enjoyable ride. I rarely need to buy the rest of the books in a series right after I finish the first one… but as soon as I reached the last page of Stars… I was already ordering Seas and Shadow. The writing is so good and the STORYTELLING! Ah, it’s just, chef kiss, SCRUMPTIOUS. I love my fairytales dark and twisted and this book went above and beyond to deliver that. No character felt under-developed, no detail unnecessary or out-of-place. The characters felt new and yet completely loyal to the source material of the story of Peter Pan. Definitely one of my favorite reads of the past few months.
