I have to say that the best characters were certainly the Captain, who had the best development, and Pan, who never strays from a mission he sets his eyes on. Gwen throughout most of the book was naive and at times annoying, always listening to everyone’s advice and never listening to her gut when she needed to the most, but there is reason for it and I’m not going to write her off just because I disagreed with her.

Surely once we arrived in the magical land, more interesting characters were introduced and it became more enticing to read. I struggled with getting through the beginning chapters that lead up to Gwen’s arrival in Neverland, and it was because of the vagueness of all the characters’ actions. I liked the set up of the book, though it took some time to properly get into it. Of course, it’s up to you to decide which characters are in the right state of mind and whether you believe what they do is for the good.

I’m gonna get philosophical and say that the constant back and forth of the story, of trying to figure out who the real villain is, has much to do with the fact that the story isn’t innocent and everyone in fact is a hero and a villain. Call it a book hangover if you will, since I do feel like I’m in a haze with emotions I can’t explain. So, I gave this book 4 hopeful stars to mask the 3.5 I actually feel it earns because it has me thinking a lot of things about it. But will she be able to save Neverland without losing herself? Review With time running out and her enemies closing in, Gwen is forced to face the truths she’s been hiding from all along. As Gwen struggles to remember where she came from and find a way home, she must choose between trusting the charming fairy-tale hero who says all the right things and the roguish young pirate who promises to keep her safe. Here, good and evil lose their meaning and memories slip like water through her fingers. The world Gwen finds herself in is called Neverland, yet it’s nothing like the stories.

The only saving grace is her best friend, Olivia, who’s coming with them for the summer.īut when Gwen and Olivia are kidnapped by shadowy creatures and taken to a world of flesh-eating sea hags and dangerous Fey, Gwen realizes her mom might have been sane all along. Now these delusions have brought them to London, far from the life Gwen had finally started to build for herself.

Summary: For as long as she can remember, Gwendolyn Allister has never had a place to call home-all because her mother believes that monsters are hunting them.
