A review by fsmeurinne
Never by Jessa Hastings
3.0
In her latest fantasy romance, a fresh retelling of Peter Pan, Jessa presents a story filled with potential. Centering around Daphne, the novel attempts to weave a complex narrative alongside Peter Pan and Jem Hook. While the plot has its chaotic moments, and the character development, particularly of the adult-like Peter and Jem, can be challenging due to their problematic interactions with 17-year-old Daphne, glimpses of the author's well-known narrative skill exist. Despite her questionable decisions and lack of depth, Daphne's character adds a certain intrigue to the story. Although the book struggles to address the original tale's problematic aspects adequately, Jessa's writing style and the novel's unique perspective offer some redeeming qualities.
