![]() ![]() ![]() I suppose you could even consider Mary to be Peter Pan, what with her dressed in green and determined to keep everyone exactly as they are in Everlost. There's Peter Pan, with Allie even calling herself Wendy, not to mention Everland vs. You learn along with Allie and Nick, and even then you're not entirely sure what's true and what's not.Lastly, there's some pleasant retelling aspects that may or may not have been intentional. But Allie's a know-it-all meanie pants, Lief is an annoying little twit, and Mary is a manipulative sky witch.It's also great how you slowly learn more and more about Everlost. ![]() I would say Nick is the only character I really actually like, and maybe the McGill a little just because I like heroic villains. And yet it's taken me years to come back and revisit it (and I never even finished the series because it was a single novel when I first read it).I really like how none of the characters are exactly likeable. This is one of the first Neal Shusterman books I ever read, and thus has a special place in my heart. ![]()
