This is the 3rd Peter Pan and Captain Hook related book I've read this year, and judging by my tbr list I believe it won't be the last.
I really loved reading this book and read the last 200 pages in a day, so obviously I think the storyline was brilliant and the writing style was very elegant, and original. I am not sure if the ending was better with that unexpected (at least for me) addition/twist or would have been better with the good ol' fairytale ending but it is probably the former. There's always some undecipherable allure of the idea of soul-mates. But I think what makes this book great is its redemption arc and how believable it feels. A former villain with a more likable past wouldn't have had the same power over the readers.
