Post from the Losing Wendy: A Dark Fantasy Peter Pan Retelling (The Lost Girl Series Book 1) forum
"The woman your mother bargained with doesn't have friends. Only lovers and slaves. Sometimes both. You, Wendy Darling, are no gift." Peter is actively warning Wendy, but also doing a really good job of distancing himself SO FAR when he's not all shadow form. Considering everything, I never noticed how much self-control he had at this point. Also, I knew Simon was giving a leader vibe, but in retrospect, it's off-putting. Like 16, a 16-year-old boy who's a little too good at reading a room? That's the attentiveness of someone who's been through it and will probably react poorly to certain situations.

I'm rereading this and I never realized that the fates are mentioned so soon. Like obviously Wendy is busy referencing a fable to help understand her current circumstances, but I need to pay attention to all these fate mentions because they are SOOO important.

Reading this book made me remember I should probably go outside. I woke up this morning, went for a walk, then made myself breakfast. It was nice to make a new memory of just peacefully walking by myself. I'm 1000% more grateful for color and will make more efforts to get out of my monotonous school schedule as a college student.

I'm on the first page of chapter 16. As dark as it sounds it's so beautiful to not only have choices, but to share pain. This hypothetical of the whole not having pain and the minority, the receiver, taking it on shows me that we shouldn't minimize the pain of others but try to share the burden with them. I've always felt this in my core but couldn't put it to words until I read this.
