I have always loved a good revelling, especially when it isn't the exact story, but the author's take on something that stems from it. I find them intriguing and exciting, and I thoroughly enjoy looking out for those little head nods toward the original story. I did like the premise of this story, especially since I had a thought that the original pan story was really a kind way to say the children passed, so they went to neverland and never had to grow old. I'm odd like that. So when this book had a firm telling that revolved around death taking you to neverland, I was very excited. I liked the characters the author created for us. They were fun and had little bits and pieces that connected them back to the original. I liked that they grew throughout the story and created bonds with one another. I would have liked a bit more detail for the characters, but I am hoping that there will be more depth added to them in the future reads. Overall, this was a great read and truly gave us something new, with a hint of the original, which was fun and enjoyable. **I received this book for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)
In the Neverland, people don't grow up. Because they're dead.Remy Cutler dies, and somehow escapes certain death. She returns to the land of the living with nothing but a ripped gown and a fear of heights. Two years later, she plans to escape her arranged marriage by stowing away onto a ship in hopes to leave her home with no one knowing. However, she is found out, and the sailors aren't happy. Before any damage can be done, she is yanked from her predicament back to The Neverland, a place where death resides - the very place she escaped from years ago. Souls are ferried by her savior. To her, he's known as Nick, but to The Neverland, he's the slippery Nicholas Grey. The more time Remy spends with Nick and his crew, however, the more she realizes he's shockingly misunderstood. Pirates aren't all bad the way gentlemen aren't all good. One such gentleman goes by the name of Peter, and he has nothing but power on his mind and revenge against Grey in his heart. And then there are those that are completely indiscernible, like James Hook, a Viking and ruler of The Other World, whose sole ambition is attaining more souls to rule over, no matter what the cost. This dark retelling of Peter Pan infuses familiar characters created by J. M. Barrie with new characters and Greek mythology. It is the first in a trilogy. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

**I received a copy of this book from Xpresso Book Tours in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own and not influenced by my source.**
This book was just too descriptive for me. I felt like nothing was happening because it spent too much time decribing mundane details about the ship and setting. I also didn't bond with any of the many characters we are introduced to so early in the story as well as Remy. I couldn't decide if I was annoyed by her or bored by her.
I also wanted this to be a Peter Pan retelling steeped in mythology and I don't think that was the case. It seemed like the only thing of Peter Pan was the use of Neverland though the mythology of the underworld was starting to become apparent.
This book just didn't capture my attention like I had hoped.
