I really enjoyed this, though it made me realize just how little I remember of the original Peter Pan! This inspired me to go back and read it so I can fully appreciate what Chant has done here. I loved the character growth for both Peter and Hook and the slow drip of reveals. This is a fever dream of a story that explores gender dysphoria, transphobia, identity and belonging, growing up, grief, and adulthood.
Graphic: Deadnaming, Transphobia, Violence
Moderate: Death, Sexual content
Transphobia and deadnaming occurs in Peter's flashbacks to life outside of Neverland.
