“It was pretty, but there was nothing surprising. I do love the idea of the friendship between Wendy and Ned and could have used way more of it.”Characters change and growMagical setting

“I understand the focus of this book was Wendy, which I appreciate because it was amazing to read how she grew up and her struggles. Wendy Darling you are a bada**! I truly wish we got a little bit more about Peter and his shadow. I wanted to know what happened to him and Neverland after they were reunited. I enjoyed this book overall though!”Characters change and growMulti-layered charactersDark settingMagical settingDarkThought-provoking
