Never Ever

DNF. The writing in this is quite juvenile. I can only imagine that the 4 - 5 star reviewers are as well. The voice would be believable if she were the age that Wendy was written originally, but not a 17 year old.

2.5 stars? Almost 3, but not quite.

So this was a rather unique retelling of Peter Pan- which I really liked, and that's where it gets tricky!
I did really like the three Dalton siblings' bond throughout the book, and I really loved the unique idea Saedi had that made the plot and world.


There's only a few cons for this book for me (WITH SPOILERS):

Wylie and Phinn's relationship had some forcefulness to it that showed in the way they acted, thought, and talked. It was hard for me to like quite a few of the moments they were together because of that, it wasn't Instant Love at first- but once she's decided to stay on the island that's exactly what it's like.

I didn't care for Wylie much, I cared more for her brothers than her.

Once again, the cliche of Peter Pan being evil in almost every retelling of Peter Pan. Though I will admit, that doesn't bother me much when it's played out right!

Overall I did like it quite a bit and plan to read the next book, but it was not a favorite or a re-read!
