General Thoughts
''Welcome to Neverland'...'
...a world magnificent and dangerous, with a sea full of monstrous mermaids, a jungle that comes alive, a villain who calls himself a hero and an unapproachable but honest pirate taking up the role of the bad guy.
A refreshing retelling of the classic fairy tale, a wonderful, terrible description of what Neverland means, of the devastating poignancy of losing one's memories, of having them distorted until you start to lose your grip on your sense of self, until the reader realises how truly fitting it is to call those boys trapped there lost.
A girl who's spent her whole life violently uprooted from each and every place she's learnt to call home, who doubts her mother's sanity and leans on the support of her only friend, suddenly finds herself inside a fairy tale.
Only it feels more like a nightmare.
