A Land of Never After

A Peter Pan Retelling (Curses of Never, Book 1)

De: R. L. Davennor

Narrado por: Tanya Dougherty

All my life, I’ve dreamed of the sea.

Mermaids, stormy skies, daring adventures, pirates…it was little wonder I sprinted to the docks the moment I left the orphanage. Eager to begin my new life, I searched for a ship that would have me—and found a thief instead. I chased the bastard.

Now I’m trapped.

I’m told this place is Neverland, but everything I touch is dead or dying; what’s left is hellbent on killing each other. Monsters lurk around every corner, and everyone I meet hides a damning secret. I’m thrust in the middle of a deadly feud, and the only one capable of unraveling the curse that plagues us.

Neverland is my home now. Until it’s done with me?

It will never let go.

Peter Pan meets Pirates of the Caribbean in A Land of Never After, but listener beware: this children’s tale has been reimagined for adult lovers of all things dark and deadly, with an LGBTQ+ positive twist. Content warnings include language, violence, and mentions of gender dysphoria and suicide.

Instant Classic!

A fun retelling of a classic tale! I loved this story and I was immersed in the adventure instantly. The narration is amazing and I loved how her changes for each character. So good!

Great detail

loved the story line and great detail. I felt like I was in Wendy's shoes.

Amazing audio, story with potential, useless insert of sensitive conditions.

The audio performance of this book is wonderful. The voice actor is pleasant to listen to. The words and emotions clear, precise, and properly portrayed.
The overall story is an interesting and engaging retelling. I enjoyed the new perspective. Genuinely a wonderful experience. However, I was forced to forget components embedded in the story in order to finish it. The lack of sensitivity given to issues made prominent for unknown purposes, gave me pause. I would hope consideration would be given for those struggling with divergent conditions such as gender dysphoria. The portrayed "good" way of responding, interacting, and supporting struggling characters was harmful and disturbing to read. Hopefully in future, the author will consider the harm they are causing through their fragrant disregard for the severity of depicted conditions.
