90. Everland - Wendy Spinale

One thing you should know about me is that as a kid, after the live-action Peter Pan came out, I was OBSESSED with the story. I watched the cartoon all the time and I'm convinced Jeremy Sumpter was my first love. I am 100% getting at least one Peter Pan tattoo in case anyone is wondering as well. Eventually.... not right away though, I am a broke college student right now with $19 to my name and a credit card to pay off so. Tattoos have to wait, but this is a book that I loved so I should talk about that instead.

Everland is a futuristic, steampunk, little girl Bella with gold fairy dust and mechanical wings, apocalyptic, AMAZING.

I have always kind of underlined certain things in books that really resonated with me when I'm reading. For example, the To All the Boy's I've Loved Before trilogy if you go find one of the reviews (I think its the second book, PS I Still Love You) you can find the quote from Stormy that moved me at that time in my life. When I read it I just went, "yes, I needed this right now." So I do that now but I like to highlight it so I can always go back and reread the book and see if any feelings have changed or if I leant out the book then whoever is reading it can see if they have similar feelings.

So anyway, with that explanation, I highlighted A LOT. Normally I get one or two quotes that I love, but in Everland there were many. Probably like six, but that's a lot for me.

When Pete says "to die would be an awfully big adventure," I cried. Then obviously highlighted it.

I knew it was a Peter Pan retelling going in, but I honestly didn't know what to expect and I think it was better that way, for me at least.

But the basics of it for anyone who wishes to know is:

London has fallen, everyone is pretty much dead. Hook destroyed everything and accidentally let loose a virus that leaves no one unharmed. Pete helps Gwen save herself and her family and she helps him save the lost boys(/kids) and it's a GREAT adventure and probably my favourite retelling ever. I mean it.

Spoiler!!!

Gwen chopping off Hooks' hand gave me life, and days after I'm still living for that moment of pure amazing.

If you'd like me to read/ review a book, just leave a comment below! I'll try not to give too many spoilers or give too much away while reviewing the books, but if I do, also let me know so I can give warnings to anyone who hasn't read the books before. I appreciate all feedback, but please be respectful on constructive criticism.

Everyone's opinions are valuable so please don't make anyone feel terrible for having their own opinion on a book. Just because it's different from yours does not mean it's the wrong opinion.
