Totally added to the "epic war" feeling throughout. And about that, Peter Pan? Yes! Why didn't I see that before!

I also found that The Halflings Network has a forum, so maybe a speculation discussion could be started there.Jessica Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14209200255996726079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5760056025198083881.post-11551663938534255942012-03-19T19:20:28.510-05:002012-03-19T19:20:28.510-05:00Good review.

I can't wait either for the next book and the dates I heard are just too far away. I personally think I know who she will end up with but something is going to have to happen so the boy can still make it to Heaven... But I also have a feeling about that too. Perhaps I should take your idea and start an email for what we think will happen in the future. keep up the good reviews.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01435982511194395779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5760056025198083881.post-24848849267219172212012-03-19T15:53:57.278-05:002012-03-19T15:53:57.278-05:00Really?

But I thought that was just because I basically grew up in Neverland. :)owo xDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01507220020820912546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5760056025198083881.post-32588089384751658852012-03-19T15:24:26.954-05:002012-03-19T15:24:26.954-05:00Yeah, I kinda agree.

You're totally good-looking!" haha!<br /><br />Talking about flaws, I guess that's why I liked Raven so much. He has plenty of room for growth and improvement. I liked the idea of Mace, but he does seem a little TOO perfect... And Vine is simply wonderful. He's still trying to find his way, but he's not hardened like Raven.Jessica Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14209200255996726079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5760056025198083881.post-23187956255903961022012-03-19T15:14:46.039-05:002012-03-19T15:14:46.039-05:00I cannot wait for the next book!

Peter Pan is also one of my favorite Disney movies. :) I loved the book, but I wish that the characters hadn't been so perfect. :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5760056025198083881.post-56899614458089931962012-03-19T15:02:31.277-05:002012-03-19T15:02:31.277-05:00Heather: Thanks!

There's so much to uncover and I feel like we've barely scratched the surface. So many questions...<br /><br />Sarah Elizabeth: Yay! Thanks for following my blog! :-) I agree, about other characters besides the main character having equal importance. In fact, the Halflings are my favorite characters in the book. Don't get me wrong, I like Nikki too, but I don't know...maybe it's the "Wendy" in me wanting to take care of all those orphan "Lost Boys" or something. lolJessica Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14209200255996726079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5760056025198083881.post-52864642068845950512012-03-19T11:31:58.686-05:002012-03-19T11:31:58.686-05:00Yes, I do see the whole Neverland/Peter Pan vibe n...Yes, I do see the whole Neverland/Peter Pan vibe now that you've mentioned it. I did find it super intriguing to learn more and more about the band of "lost boys" and see their perspectives on things throughout the story alongside Nikki. I love it when there is a main character, but all of the other characters are as equally important.<br /><br />Anywho...

Thankfully Jill set my mind at ease. I can't wait for the next book. There was such a mystery behind the whole thing and can't wait to get more of it in book two. The whole deal with the lab has me curious! I agree that it left you ready for the next two books.Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01547279026740589595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5760056025198083881.post-27339502979689411282012-03-19T09:44:03.159-05:002012-03-19T09:44:03.159-05:00Wow!
