I'm not sure the description of Peter pan meets squid games is quite right, especially since squid games is very adult themed and this is a ya novel. I liked what I read, but think it could use different marketing.

Thank you Entangled and NetGalley for the arc copy. All of these comments are my own.

When I got this arc it said it was like Squid Games meets Peter Pan but this book gave no resemblance to either of those. It was very much just Thailand Folktales, which wasn’t necessarily bad. I don’t know much about the Thailand culture but I did find this folktale fun and interesting to read about.

The story was good but the action was a little underwhelming for me. Although I did enjoy it for the most part; I did just want more from it. There were parts that made me sad, laugh, and happy which I think great for a book to do.

I do think a lot of YA readers will enjoy this!

3 stars!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC!

Wow this was such a neat story!

I loved reading about the Thai mythology and seeing it incorporated into this story. I also liked the family dynamics at play.

And the fact that this was written by a team? Couldn’t even tell! And the fact it was a mother-daughter duo makes the story even more special I think.
