The authors take their Peter Pan prequels to the era we know best as Peter must team up with Wendy to save Molly, George, and all of England from a new threat still after the star stuff. If you've enjoyed the others in the YA series, you'll certainly enjoy this one. The multiple plots actually seemed to compliment each other, and I always had a hard time putting the book down.

Very good book, especially for the young adult market. I love the fact that Vaughn doesn't write much differently here than she does in her established series, so she doesn't feel like she's talking down to teens at all.
There's one thing that really bugs me, but if I bring up exactly what it is, it will be a spoiler. I will say that I don't honestly think that every YA book or series really has to include a particular sort of negative experience in order for the protagonist to experience growth.

This book seemed to get dragged out for an extra 150+ pages, and I expected some really big cataclysmic showdown in those pages after all the build up of the previous 400 but nope. Instead of a bang it ended with a pop.
I was very disappointed, although I had been losing interest since just over half way. There was just too much filler and not enough happening in the book to keep my interest.
My interest in YA Paranormal has just nosedived completely. I won't be continuing the series.

Really enjoyed this... it does seem to have led into a follow up book which can be annoying at times, especially if the author doesn't wrap up what is going on in the plot of the current book.This one did slightly do this hence the 4 stars and not 5.
All in all I really enjoyed the concept and plot of this book. I disliked one of the main characters which I don't think was intentional but that is a personal preference.
Would defo recommend to YA/dystopian fans.

Good idea
I enjoyed this book, not sure if it is YA or sci-fi. Sometimes the story felt more basic and others it was quite gory. I love the premise and the overall dystopia story. Flicking between the different people is good and builds tension. Overall worth a read - im not sure there is enough for me to read the next books.

Second Installment of Solid YA Series
I just recently re-read the entire Mortal Instruments series and thoroughly enjoyed it (maybe even more so than the first time around). This book is a solid sequel to the first one, and continues to develop Claire's creative world and characters.
The action is fun, the romance is hot (although sometimes a little too distracting from the plot), and the writing is good. Claire does a great job mixing in humor and emotion with her story, so the characters are engaging - even when they are unreasonable, selfish, and childish.
Give the series a chance if you like YA. It's a fantastic source of entertainment.

This series is so addictive. I completely devoured this second book after finishing the first. It’s the sort of book that you can binge in one sitting which is partly why I loved it so much.
This was even better than the first book. There was somehow even more action and drama packed into this little book and it still didn’t feel like there was to much in such a short space. The action was completely gripping and still managed to keep me hooked to the point that I bought the third book while I was halfway through reading this one.
I loved Cammie even more in this one. Her wit gets me laughing in places and I felt every single emotion she was feeling in the book. For YA, the novel is so emotionally written and I loved that. You can completely tell with this series that Ally Carter had a true bond with Cammie, which really brings her story to life.

This is a perfect short read for bedtime. A fun story about Mama Graciela, her bacalaitos fritos (codfish fritters which everyone should eat as we here at home love to make them) and her many cats. The story is enthusiastic and I loved the illustrations. -YA/NA Book Divas
