Wow! What an intense way of starting my new year, in this second installment of the book, we pick up exactly where we've left off. Pan's shadow, along with another mysterious shadow has been found and Winnie Darling decides to return to Neverland with Pan and The Lost Boys. If you haven't read the first book, I would suggest reading it prior as this doesn't work as a standalone.
To be honest, I preferred the second book to the first, it's a lot more action-packed and I love how we dive deeper into the character's backstories and we get good character development, I love how Winnie finally takes claim over the Lost Boys. These books are so bingeable, once you pick them up, you won't be able to stop. Although this is a dark retelling, I appreciate how the banter between characters at times lightens the mood and gives the reader a little break.
I'm so glad I decided to wait a bit before reading this book, it ends on a great cliffhanger and safe to say, I was thrilled to be able to jump into the next one!
