I have friends who have a far stronger connection with Peter Pan than I'll ever have. But, I saw this book here on Goodreads last week and then all of a sudden it also appeared on Netgalley and I was like: Okay, this sounds like it might be something for me, something I like. I really really want to try it out. And yesterday I got the e-mail that I got it (and the sequel too).

When I started reading it was actually love at first sight. I think this book is brilliantly done in almost every aspect possible. The tone and the art of telling the story is perfect. We do switch perspectives, sometimes we get some more information than the point of view character has and this all gives the story a fairytale feel, a slightly old fashioned feel. But, it also leads to some dramatic irony and it creates anticipation. As a reader I sometimes knew what was coming, even though the characters did not.

The story is based on Peter Pan and therefore quite a few elements and characters of the original tale are present. Some are presented in plain sight, exactly as they should be. Some are used in plain sight, but twisted in an unexpected or funny way and some show up totally unexpectedly in a very different form. It makes the story recognisable as Peter Pan, but it also adds something new, something fresh and something original to the tale.

This is mostly visible in the characters. Wendy Darling is still very Wendy Darling, but with dreams of her own, with a little more attitude and cleverness, with a lot of willpower. And, most of all, she's no longer the representation of all women, even though Peter does try to make her that at some point. It's refreshing, it makes her likeable and easier to relate to, but without losing the soul she has once gotten. The same goes for all the other characters, clearly themselves in some ways and more fleshed out in others.

While reading the book I forgot the time, quite literally, and that's one of the best feelings a book can give you. The one downside of this book? We still have to find Neverland. So, I can't wait to read the second book!

I really enjoyed this book, even though it kind of just...ends. There is a good character arc, but no real ending event or climax. I like the imaginative twists that the authors put on the original Peter Pan story and characters. A bit oddly paced, but I can’t wait to read book 2!

This is a re-imagining of Peter Pan, centered around Wendy in the 1780's. It would be entertaining, even if it seems to be written for a younger YA audience, except for the deep-rooted misogyny which was everywhere and overwhelming.

The Wendy was a fun and exciting reimagining of the Peter Pan many have grown up with. Wendy is portraying as a strong, ambitious, independent young woman with lofty goals. She will do anything she can to achieve her goals and the supporting characters are familiar from the original Peter Pan. I highly recommend this to adult and YA readers who are ready to absorb an adventurous journey that is a fast read that will leave you wanting more. 4.5 stars

Wendy is a beautiful tale of a story most have read, watched or listen to over the years. The author has the ability to create a balance of humor and danger bring readers excitement for all ages.

The authors ability to take a beloved story creating in such a way that she was able to make it her own.

Everyone will fall in love with Wendy.

Thank you to the Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of Erin Michelle Sky The Wendy.

The Wendy is a modern retelling of Peter Pan focusing on Wendy set in London. I absolutely adored this book.

We meet our main character who is an orphan. She dreams of being a sea captain but girls don’t become sea captains. However Wendy doesn’t give up on her dream and vows to get on a ship one way or another.

John & michael are her brothers in arms but not related. She’s being paid to be a nurse but it is a cover up for the home office where she works as a magic sensor to alert the troops when the ever lost are coming. The everlost are paranormal creatures who can fly & drink human blood according to rumours.
It is then Wendy meets both Peter Pan and Captain Hook, it’s loosely based on the classic tale but puts a fresh spin on it and I really enjoyed it. The authors imagination knew no bounds and you can tell they loved the original story.

The book has excellent humour like Wendy her inner monologue was hilarious. It was also so funny when we got to hear what the dogs were thinking. As a character Wendy was my absolute favourite. I love how she didn’t let any man push her around and the way she carries herself in such a male dominated world is admirable I really looked up to her as a character she was written perfectly.

The plot was gripping, I devoured the book in 2 days. I can’t think of anything I’d like to change about the storyline at all. I can’t wait for book two I need to hear more about Peter and the everlost!


Thanks to Netgalley and Trash dogs media for sending me this book in exchange for an honest review.

This novel was very hard to get through. This novel was very slow-paced and the world-building was confusing! I was hoping that this would be a feminist take on Wendy. However, Wendy came across as a Mary Sue. She is beloved by everyone. However, she had no special qualities that proved she was different from other women. Thus, Wendy was the blandest character in the novel. I will continue to read the sequel to see if Wendy improves.

Thank you Netgalley for providing me with a copy of this book!

The beginning of the book is immediately crisp, ironic, and deliciously humorous in a comprehensible way. I enjoyed the writing style writing style as it is very in tone with early 1900's books that were released. I Feel like this might be something not everyone loves, but I definitely enjoyed it. I think it works well as a tool to set the tone and period of the book. Furthermore, I found the sly humor and the teasing of the old books to be hilarious. I will say that the middle portion of this book hadn’t a bit of a lull, in which I found myself losing my excitement until the ending isn’t where it began to pick up a bit.

I will saY that this book is very unique and I will be reading the end to book, as I find the characters very intriguing and the story a delight. I think this author was bold, as they took a huge risqué with their writing style and such. But overall what a fun read!.
