This was an interesting twist on Peter Pan and I must confess I think I have only seen that movie one time and never have I read the book, so a lot of the references were lost on me. Even so, this book was really exciting with lots of fighting and conflict but also with quite a bit of emotional impact. I loved the twist of Wendy as trans-masc Peter Pan. The romance felt a little like a side note at times with so much action but it was also the way the characters got any semblance of a happy ending so it is an important part of this book.

Austin Chant is becoming a fave for me with the way they weave in magic/fantasy and historical settings.
