You can skip this one. Good female protagonist, but this can be found in other books.


Trigger Warning
It's weird Peter Pan fan fic incest with SA but it's got a wonderful female protagonist and a good plot outside of the really weird elements that were added in. Peter Pan does not need to be SA'ing grandma, daughter, and family members nor do we need to be making this a romance thing where everyone's into Peter. This is why I have to avoid fantasy :( the plot was good but I am traumatized

Pleasantly surprised by this one. A lot was obvious but the storyline developed well. After my initial what the heck comments with all the science & magic overlapping, I did end up enjoying it. Holly remains annoying & verging on dangerous but I’m happy for her in the end.

Okay so…. What if we took the Peter Pan story and made him a creep? I didn’t see this coming and honestly it was…. Uncomfortable. The writing style was beautiful but slow at times, but overall just didn’t do it for me.

A little more than a 3.5. I have not read any Peter Pan re-imaginings before this one. I thought this was inventive and was written in a way that I believed the magic and fantasy. There were a few gaps that I would have liked filled in a little more.
