Peter Darling
by Austin Chant
TW: transphobia from parents
CW: graphic blood scenes & there's fighting with knives and swords
What if Peter Pan was transgender? Born as Wendy Darling, Peter ventures out to Neverland to be his true self who is Peter Darling. I'm not a huge fan of the fantasy genre, so some of this book had me skimming. Luckily, I already knew the story of Peter Pan before diving into this story. Austin Chant will never disappoint me with his writing, his writing kept me reading. The action scenes were so descriptive and the imagery was excellent, I could picture the creatures Hook and Pan had to defeat.
I also liked the way Chant added to Peter's origin story the addition of The Lost Boys being fictional and Peter's imaginary friends was SUCH A GREAT THEORY. I was blown away.
As a trans man myself, I could relate to Peter so much. Many of his anecdotes about being born in the wrong body really resonated with me, so much that I was on the verge of tears.
I wanted more of Peter's origin story and maybe less of him and Hook? I enjoyed the storyline between Peter and Hook, but I think I was craving more of Peter being the leader of The Lost Boys like in the original story.
