This was really good, Vane and Pan are my favourites at this point, but Vane won at the end of the day.

This series just continues to pull you in with each book.

In book three Peter finally has his shadow back but he’s not the only one getting use to having a shadow. Darling somehow ended up claiming the death shadow and is trying to learn to control her new rising anger and powers. As the Fae queen calls in for more backup from Vane’s brother the crocodile. The Lost Boys, Peter, and Wendy are all left fighting for the ones they love each other. Shadows are relinquished and given to new owners as the dynamics of Neverland change Peter learns more about who he truly is.

What a clusterfuck. Seriously the first two were amazing compared to this mess. A) there is not much spice, B) plot lines, while they are a continuation, are just magically resolved, C) The epilogue?  The series should have ended at book 2.
