4 posts | 5 read | 9 to read
A gorgeous literary feminist take on what happened to Wendy and Captain Hook after Neverland from the bestselling author of Wendy, Darling, perfect for fans of Christina Henry and V.E. Schwab. Exploring themes of grief, survivor's guilt and healing broken bonds, Hooked is a modern-day Peter Pan story, perfect for fans of retellings, Christina Henry and V.E. Schwab. Once invited, always welcome. Once invited, never free. Captain James Hook, the immortal pirate of Neverland, has died a thousand times. Drowned, stabbed by Peter Pans sword, eaten by the beast swimming below the depths, yet James was resurrected every time by one boys dark imagination. Until he found a door in the sky, an escape. And he took the chance no matter the cost. Now in London twenty-two years later, Peter Pans monster has found Captain Hook again, intent on revenge. But a chance encounter leads James to another survivor of Neverland. Wendy Darling, now a grown woman, is the only one who knows how dark a shadow Neverland casts, no matter how far you run. To vanquish Pans monster once and for all, Hook must play the villain one last time

Mehso-so

I wanted to like Hooked, but it just seemed all over the place. I was often confused about where things were going within the story and how I even got where I was; it was hard to follow at times. I did like the characters. I grew to have a level of sympathy towards James. Wise took a villain and turned him into a likable and compassionate individual. I also liked Jane. She is a strong woman, and I absolutely loved how progressive she is.

A tormented Captain James Hook reunites with a now grown Wendy Darling in 1930s London as a creature from Neverland is loose and hunting those who have escaped Peter Pan and Neverland.

This is Peter Pan, but recognizing the absolutely fucked up nature of a boy/land incapable of change. Scene setting is excellent. Recognizable characters are fleshed out & complicated. Lots of POV & timeline switching which got confusing. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

BookmarkTavern @KristiAhlers @TheBookWitchON Definitely recommend, especially if you liked Wendy, Darling by Wise. It‘s not being promoted as a direct sequel, but it really feels like it is. (edited) 2y
