A queer, transgender retelling of Peter Pan, in which Pan returns to Neverland, after a decade of growing up in the real world. The Lost Boys say that Peter Pan went back to England because of Wendy Darling, but Wendy is just an old life he left behind. Neverland is his real home. So when, Peter returns to it after ten years in the real world, he's surprised to find a Neverland that no longer seems to need him. The only person who truly missed Peter is Captain James Hook, who is delighted to have his old rival back. But when, a new war ignites between the Lost Boys and Hook's pirates, the ensuing bloodshed becomes all too real, and Peter's rivalry with Hook starts to blur into something far more complicated, sensual, and deadly.… (más)

Peter Pan returns to Neverland after a 10 year absence, and finds that the Lost Boys have made a truce with Captain Hook, but he is there to make trouble so he stirs up a renewed war with Hook.

The twist to this version of the story is that the reason Peter Pan goes to Neverland is that he is transgender. In the "real" world, his family call him Wendy and insist that he act like a girl, so he escapes to Neverland so that he can be his true self. I thought that was an interesting take on the character.... but then things get squicky when Peter Pan and Hook fall in love. Despite Chant's best efforts to describe Hook as a dandy of indeterminate age, I just couldn't help picture anything but a dirty old man and it felt pretty gross. ( )

I'm one of those weirdos who doesn't usually enjoy fairy tales and never did care for Peter Pan. Keep that in mind as you read this.

I was bored for some of the story. That's me, not necessarily the book. Peter Darling gave me a level of acceptance for the original story that I half-expected (in that I was sure of the major plot points) and yet I'm happy with how the author wrote it. This sort of conflict is just as difficult in Neverland as it is in our world, it turns out. That feels right to me. Not that people should suffer to be who they really are, but that it's hard to deal with conflicts because so many of them are internalized. They're very tricky.

I loved the end. The details, particularly. ( )

Full disclosure: I'm not a big fan of Peter Pan.

The idea was interesting.
Not sure about romance between these two. But it sort of works too.
The ending was a pleasant surprise - a good ending, but no perfection. The kind where you know things can get better but it's quite clear that there's a thorny road ahead. An ending, but not The End.

FINAL VERDICT : TRY IT ( )

Mi è piaciuto molto. Mi aspettavo qualcosa di più fiabesco e colorato, pieno di risate e invece... è stata una lettura intensa ed emozionante in cui il magico mondo infantile si scontra con la cruda realtà fatta di abusi, morte, dolore e rimpianto ma anche di rinascita, accettazione di sé, redenzione e speranza. Ho adorato l'evoluzione di Uncino, un personaggio tutt'altro che banale e scontato, non il solito cattivone odioso e stronzo che si diverte ad uccidere bensì un uomo distrutto e stanco, alla ricerca di se stesso e della propria identità, un uomo da ormai troppi anni prigioniero di quella paradisiaca isola diventata ormai un inferno. Unica piccola pecca che mi ha spinto ad abbassare la valutazione è lo sviluppo di Peter/Wendy... essendo il protagonista mi sarei aspettata di empatizzare maggiormente con lui invece per metà libro si comporta come un bambino pensando solo alle proprie ripicche personali e arrivando a far scoppiare una guerra uccidendo innocenti, solo a fine libro acquista un po' di senno rimanendo comunque troppo infantile se paragonato al compagno di avventure/disavventure. Vista la sua condizione e lotta interiore per accettare la sua sessualità e il suo essere uomo intrappolato nel corpo di una donna avrei voluto vedere un Peter più deciso e maturo dopo aver lottato per ciò in cui crede e invece... anche a fine libro rimane immaturo e... scontato. Meravigliosa ed originale l'idea di rendere l'isola che non c'è non un luogo idilliaco di pace e tranquillità in cui sfuggire dai problemi e dolori bensì una vera e propria prigione in cui illudersi di poter essere liberi perdendo però la propria identità ed umanità. Un romanzo sicuramente originale e che mi sento di consigliare ai fan di Peter Pan e a quelli che cercano una storia commovente e intensa per contenuti ed emozioni. ( )

"This book is for every villain who ever inspired a queer awakening, and for every queer child who ever saw themself in the enemy.

It's also for Simone, who is definitely a villain of some kind."
