floressius's review against another edition

It was boring and flat, the characters weren't interesting, and the dark stuff veered towards being edgy rather than impactful/actually meaningful. The dialogue was also cringe-worthy and poor, the story meandred too much, and Peter's entire backstory was ridiculous. 

I wanted to enjoy this, so it was pretty disappointing for it to be this bad. DNF as I didn't want to waste anymore time on it.

Didn't enjoy the amount of graphic violence. There was also something that just...didn't work for me throughout the whole book. I can't put my finger on what it is. Maybe the erasure of Wendy and Tink? It wasn't bad as far as reimaginings go, it just wasn't for me.

The worldbuilding and art was awesome. I liked the story but even though a lot happens the book feels very slow. So I stopped reading and started the audiobook (which was amazing). The book wasn’t my favourite, because the pace felt weird and it didn’t grip me. There were also some holes in the story for example the mist destroys weapons like guns and bomb but at the first battle the Volk of Avalon was shot down by bomb
I am not sure how I feel about the ending. The „not happy ending“ is great as a teaching moment for Peter and his willingness to follow the lady blindly even if the cost is the live of all the devils. The book should have ended with him crying and remembering all the children lost in his campaign, but no the next second he’s laughing and happy because he has the power of the horned one. The captains perspective and his love for Danny was my favourite book and I which we would get to know how their future looks like.

mysimas's review against another edition

The story is gritty and raw for the sake of being gritty and raw. I felt like it was going nowhere and gave up
