I love that the book delves deeper into the characters and explains why they are the way they are. Oh and romance, that really perked me right up.

I think for me, the writing was a bit mediocre, and it was really difficult for me to connect with the characters. However, I did enjoy when he and Peter would bicker and have their moments were they wanted to kill each other but didn't. & weren't you surprised by the Tiger Lily and James scenes. My mouth was literally hanging open like whatttt. Okay yall getting steamy lol.

I read another Peter Pan retelling, <i>Tiger Lily</i> by Jodi Lynn Anderson, a while back and it became one of my favorite books of all time so I've been a bit wary about reading other Peter Pan retellings since I feel they won't be able to match that one, but I'm definitely going to have to give this one a try. Thanks for sharing and, as always, fabulous review! ♥<br /><br />~ Zoe @ <a href="http://www.zoereads.org" rel="nofollow">Stories on Stage</a>Zoe N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08980248647201093593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964812786330789100.post-69166552655504787162015-09-07T03:06:34.452+02:002015-09-07T03:06:34.452+02:00This is such a beautiful review, Olivia! (And hi! ...This is such a beautiful review, Olivia! (And hi! I saw your profile on Vlora's blog!) This sounds absolutely fantastic and I'm definitely pulling up that GR page to check it out more throughly. The retelling of Peter Pan sounds like it's done in a way that is not only true to the book, but true to the new story that is being told, and Hook seems like he's become a much more complex character, which I'm all for. I actually dislike the original PP, and consider it to be a kinda dark story anyway- seeing Pan in a light where he's not necessarily the "good guy" is something I'm more than happy to have, so I'm really looking forward to that, too. And romance for Hook! YAY!<br /><br />Seriously awesome review. xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
