Argon Adventures #5

by Renee Sebastian

Everyone who had a lick of sense evacuated weeks ago, seeking refuge in foreign lands. The only ones left behind are the bottom feeders, the destitute, and the Lost Boys gangs. With the collapse of the Royal Agora, Buckingham Palace, and Parliament, life in Britannia is looking dire indeed. Wendy knows she and her friends are the only ones left who have any hope in stopping Peter’s maniacal plans.

Wendy refuses to watch her beloved world crumble into dust and rust. She knows that the only way to save it and Neverland will require a true death. But whose will it be? Wendy’s or Peter’s?

[Adam McCormick · Rating 2 out of 5]

Stilted prose and a lot of pacing issues make this the least enjoyable book in this series. The appealing, very strong individuals of the early books are now very shallow approximations of themselves or, in Wendy's case, someone else. The Characters only talk to each other to explain the plot to each other and deus ex machina is the only thing saving the characters most of the time. Leaving aside the need for editing, which is pronounced, the phraseology and word choice was at times painful and always sounded like an american high schooler trying to talk like a Victorian-era Brit. Several encounters we've spent whole books waiting for pass almost without ceremony and don't fit at all with the rest of the story. Unless you are a series completionist like I am and have already read the rest of the series, save yourself the pain and steer clear.

Won this from a first reads giveaway.

In my honest opinion, this was alright. It didn't blow me away, but I got through it. Perhaps that was a feat for me. I may be biased, however, because I am not big on Peter Pan, save for Tinker Bell. In feel like this was trying to make a grown up version of Peter Pan, with a more ...I almost want to say modern twist. But it isn't, not really.

I have suffered through far worse novels in comparison.

I was fortunate enough to win a free copy from goodreads in exchange for my honest review
