There were also some great new characters, Rowan being my favorite! His relationship with Slightly was a great addition to the story! And then there's Hook himself. I've honestly never been able to stand her character, even in my childhood, and this book made me dislike her even more and she made me quite uncomfortable at times. Tink's jealous side also comes out a lot more in this retelling. A lot of this is owed to his child-like nature, but he's also just really disturbing in general. Like several other retellings I've come across (and even the original to some extent), Peter is more of a dark, twisted character than the Disney version portrays. I really enjoyed this retelling of Peter, Wendy, and Hook! Each of the characters were complex and had familiar storylines, but there were also plenty of unique elements to the fairytale to keep it interesting. Is it any surprise that they would become involved? Obviously, Peter isn't cool with this. Just across the island is Captain Hook and his pirates.
She wants that person to be Peter (obviously, Tink isn't cool with this), but he's too firmly set on never growing up. But Wendy is growing up, despite Peter's best efforts, and she's looking for someone to share her adult life with her. In Neverland with her brothers, she has taken on her familiar motherly role with the lost boys. Hook & Jill is something of a coming of age story with Wendy as the main character.
