>>119652437I don’t know who told that, but between killing off Micheal off screen in WWI for no real reason, inventing a bunch of complicated-even-for-junior-fiction rules pertaining to traveling and existing in Neverland (despite the fact that Neverland is not even Junior-Fiction novel setting, but instead one based in the logic of a child’s imagination, where magic just is, and things just happen because actually children don’t think that far ahead, nor think that hard about why), and then really poorly explaining said rules (like why would being turned back into a child make you forget your 8 years in med school, yet somehow remember everything else that happened when you were an adult), somehow making Peter come off as even MORE on an asshole than he was in the original book
even when he wasn’t being psuedo-possessed/influenced by Hook, never really explaining why Hook was back from the dead or how Peter died but then got better, having no real meaningful changes happen to any of the characters, or Neverland for that matter aside from hook coming back for real to reset to the status quo of the first book, the only thing really having been resolved by the end of it being the initial plot-kicker-offee of the Real World and Neverland leaking between each other through dreams (the problem with that never really being explained well either), and the book just generally being an all around confusing, poorly-explained, meandering mess that didn’t really go anywhere, I would strongly disagree with their assessment.
