So far, "Tiger Lily" hasn't surprised me yet. The premis was promising, however the conflict is still setting up and, from the reading description, it's not even the main conflict!
However, I can say that I like the way that the romance is playing out in the novel. The boy and the girl don't meet eachother and fall in love moments or days after. It's nice to see something realistic: in Neverland, Tiger Lily and Peter are both highly guarded individuals, as they have the right to be. In their first encounter, neither of them wanted to be seen: in fact, it was by chance! Their curiosity pushes them, and soon Tiger Lily has been introduced to a whole different world with the Lost Boys. Sneaking out as much as she can,
The author has done a very good job of setting up the scene and providing background stories that can be set up to create multiple paths for this story to travel down. I have made quite a few predictions and asked a lot of questions so far: I'll be updating for you guys once I'm finished with the book!

So is this like a prequel to Peter Pan? Sounds so cool! Is it good so far? I bet it is, I mean it sounds different, not like the same story that we read over and over again.
ReplyDeleteYes!! It does have a different ending though. It's really cool, I'd recommend it for sure! :)
DeleteThis sounds like a really interesting book! Maybe I'll read it someday....
ReplyDeleteYou should. :D
DeleteIf you enjoyed John Green, I think you'd like this. :)
I didn't even know that Peter pan had a prequel book, is this written book relevant to Peter Pan or just a different story? I think this book could be interesting if they connect it to Peter Pan.
ReplyDeleteThis book was unofficial prequel to Peter Pan. It's pretty interesting and talks about lots of the background characters that you'd never really notice. It's kind of romance revolved which I didn't really appreciate, but it was all around an interesting interpretation of what went down before the Darlings arrived in Neverland.
DeleteIf you want something less romance-y, there's a book series called "Peter and the Star Catchers" and it's a prequel which goes back even further to before Peter lived in Neverland. I'd highly recommend it!
