Publisher Description

One of This Year’s Hottest New YA Series — Goodreads

When the world doesn't want
you to be who you are,
you must become more yourself
than you knew you could be.

London. 1789. More than anything in the world, Wendy Darling wants to be the captain of a ship, but women aren't allowed in the Royal Navy. When she learns the Home Office is accepting a handful of women into its ranks, she jumps at the chance, joining the fight against the most formidable threat England has ever faced. Magic.

But the secret service isn’t exactly what she hoped. Accompanied by a reimagined cast of the original Peter Pan, Wendy soon discovers that her dreams are as far away as ever, that choosing sides isn’t as simple as she thought, and that the only man who isn't blinded by her gender ... might be her nation's greatest enemy.

Not worth finishing

I’m only in the first 6 chapters and I have no plans on reading to the end.
I really don’t like Wendy the main character. I’m tired of this trope of “victim-hood” that writers keep milling out. I don’t know if they think it makes the character relatable or if it’s some quick way to add depth and substance, but it doesn’t. I get it, Wendy was a feminist and leagues ahead of her time, but stop shoving it down my throat every chapter.
Also, there are too many boys in love with her. When they started describing how the different drumming of her fingers evokes these heartfelt emotions in the boys, I had to stop.
Shame because it has such a fun premise for a book. Poor writing and an un-likable character are what did it in. Not worth finishing.
