Thank you to NetGalley and INscribe Digital for providing me with a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
Please be aware that this is the second book in the series so will contain some spoilers!
Goodreads Synopsis:
Not every adventure goes as planned…
Wendy’s troubles are far from over. Hook wants her in irons, the crew wants to throw her overboard, and Pan’s magical compass is the only thing standing in their way. But Pan himself is nowhere to be found.
When a new everlost captain appears on the horizon, it will take everything Wendy has to survive.
And a tiny red dragon will set events in motion that could save or doom them all.
Review:
I was lucky enough to be able to jump into this book straight after reading The Wendy. I found myself somewhat obsessed with this re-telling as was so eager to jump right in. Imagine my surprise when I realised that there is at least another book in this series! I’m absolutely gutted I have to wait for the next one because I really do love this re-telling.
Wendy is a strong, independent woman who is fighting societal norms on a daily basis. She’s prepared to fight alongside the crew and this book just speaks volumes on women empowerment. This book also had a lot more of Hook and Peter which I really liked as their character development was really enjoyable to read. You find out why Peter is so childish and Hook begins to change his way of thinking, especially when it comes to Wendy and her role on the ship.
In this book we reach Neverland and honestly, it’s everything I could have hoped for and more. Erin Michelle Sky and Steven Brown have increased my love for this land and this story as a whole. I love that while this is a re-telling they are sticking with certain aspects of the original childhood story and keeping original characters, even if they aren’t completely the same.
This book was a quick read and one I read in one sitting as I simply couldn’t put it down. The Navigator is a fast-paced, action packed and captivating read with an incredible plot twist which I honestly did not see coming. I recommend this to all Peter Pan and story re-telling lovers!
I cannot wait to read the next book!
Rating: 4/5 stars
