 Reading this book reminds me of the good old time of reading a fairytale story. The narration strongly resembles the vibes! with the descriptions of how magical the land was, the high stakes of the adventures that our main characters need to go through, and all the jazz that makes us fall in love with fairytales stories.

I couldn't recall the detail of the Peter Pan story (I am even not sure if I have ever read the OG story) but I'm quite sure this book added some twist with how each of the characters intertwined. If you have watch Once Upon a Time TV Series, you have gotta love this!

Although I did enjoy reading this book, there are some parts that a little be questionable.

Unexpectedly stumble to this one. I enjoy the premise so much. My only problem is the main protagonists - not my fav girl type. But outside that, this one is the enjoyable one!
