WARNING: This review may contain spoilers.

The first chapter began with an excerpt from the Captain’s journal followed by Peter’s POV, where he struggled with something on their ship. The book (sort of) reminded me of Peter Pan with a mix of the movie Interstellar.

Although it took me quite a long time to finish the book, I don’t have any negative comments to say about it. The book exceeded my expectations and it was refreshing to read something like this.

I like how the book focuses on the entire purpose of the mission. The plot is somewhat similar to the above-mentioned movies but Sullivan put a twist on the story which makes it distinctive from the others. The writing style is easy to understand. Sullivan thoroughly exemplifies the personality and essence of each character specifically the main character, Wendy, who is such a strong and lovable woman! It is indeed a retelling of a well-known fairytale, Peter Pan. Nevertheless, it’s an action-packed and pleasant story.

The ending is not really a cliffhanger, but it makes me wonder what will happen in the next book! I suggest you give the book a try if you like space adventures, mermaids, pirates, or retellings. 🙂

Wendy Darling worked her entire life to rise through the ranks of the prestigious Londonierre Brigade.

Now as a Captain, she has everything she’s always wanted, including a ship and crew of her own. But when the Brigade receives a strange transmission from the legendary James Hooke, lost a hundred years earlier in uncharted space and presumed dead, Wendy is willing to risk it all to rescue her hero. She races to the planet known only as Neverland; her mission to find the long-lost crew and bring them home.

But there is more to Neverland than meets the eye, and more to Hooke than what was written in history books. When Wendy crash lands on the ominous planet, she quickly discovers Neverland’s dark secret; a malevolent being known as The Shadow that’s looking for a host body to escape its eternal prison. To fulfill her mission, Wendy must decide whether to trust the dashing Hooke or the mysterious Fleet mechanic who goes by the name of Pan–and she has to decide quickly…

Before the darkness consumes them all.
