I enjoyed this book overall, but it took until the halfway point to get there. Hook was the more compelling point of view character, and we didn't get much of his point of view in the first half of the book (with the exception of the prologue), and being in Peter's head for that long got a bit tiring.

The premise was interesting and pretty well-executed. I won't spoil it beyond the fact that Peter is trans, but this book definitely did some interesting things with reality and fantasy and the Peter Pan story. I sort of wish there'd been more of that sort of thing/that it had been a slightly longer book, but it did do what it set out to do for its characters.

SPOILER: I'm just not sure what emotional impact Neverland was supposed to have on us.

It gets casually dropped in that the people who have been MURDERED weren't even real, and that means that we're not supposed to care about them anymore. I understand that we were focusing on the two main characters and their growth and all that, but I still felt like we should have spent some more time with that revelation in ways that we didn't. And also with the fact that Tinker Bell DID actually die.
