Commentary Supposing Books Everland (Everland #1)
The only way to grow up is to survive. London has been destroyed in a blitz of bombs and disease. The only ones who have survived the destruction and the outbreak of a deadly virus are children, among them sixteen-year-old Gwen Darling and her younger siblings, Joanna and Mikey. They spend their nights scavenging and their days avoiding the deadly Marauders—the German army led by the cutthroat Captain Hanz Otto Oswald Kretschmer. Unsure if the virus has spread past England’s borders but desperate to leave, Captain Hook is on the hunt for a cure, which he thinks can be found in one of the surviving children. He and his Marauders stalk the streets snatching children for experimentation. None ever return. Until one day when they grab Joanna. Gwen will stop at nothing to get her sister back, but as she sets out, she crosses paths with a daredevil named Pete. Pete offers the assistance of his gang of Lost Boys and the fierce sharpshooter Bella, who have all been living in a city hidden underground. But in a place where help has a steep price and every promise is bound by blood, it might cost Gwen more than she bargained for. And are Gwen, Pete, the Lost Boys, and Bella enough to outsmart the ruthless Captain Hook?Identify Books In Favor Of Everland (Everland #1)

Wow....Frankly speaking...I never enjoy Peter Pan and I never thought that I'll read any of it's retelling...until now...WOW!Congrats and thank you to the author for this magnificient book!I actually finished this the other day, but for some reason my goodreads kept tweaking out whenever I would go to mark as finished. SO anyways, this was a fun book! It didn't necessarily WOW me, hence the 4 stars but I still very much enjoyed it. I loved the steampunk theme to it, and the plot is pretty creative. For all you retelling junkies out there, read this!
After reading the two latest Owlcrate-books, and really liking them, I had some hope for this one. Not only had I ''learned'' that owlcrate books were easily read and intriguing, but this one was a steampunk book. I love a good steampunk book. When I also opened it, and realised it was a retelling of Peter Pan, I was overjoyed, seeing how I'd just - the same day - finished listening to the original Peter Pan story. But it did not live up to the expectations... I was intrigued at the beginning.
Everland was a fun-filled ride of adventure as the reader is introduced to a different spin on the classic story of Peter Pan. I enjoyed the tale immensely as I've always loved Peter Pan. Now before you write this off that you know the whole story and don't need to read this, I disagree. While it was predictable for various reasons, it didn't lessen my enjoyment. Spinale takes the world of Peter Pan and mixes it with an apocolypse. If this had been done before, I didn't read or watch it. I loved
I typically stay away from re-tellings because there are just so many that are poorly done and often lazy in execution. But I received the audio for free from audiobooksync this year and then it was chosen for a group read with NBRC so I began!At the start I was really impressed. I loved the steampunk/dystopian take on the novel and I thought it was very clever. A great way to bring a classic story to todays readers. But by about three quarters in I felt it dragged quite a bit and kind of limped
I got this book in my owl crate and its......... Cute. not amazing. but cute. a nice little snuggle up read if you're looking for a interesting escape. A little cheesy at times....but cute.
