All of the characters from the original story were there in one way or another, and some of the same story beats were hit. In Everland, I really enjoyed the way the Peter Pan story was woven into the story, and twisted to fit the science fiction/dystopian setting, even though I didn't love the book. Unfortunately, my instincts were right, and I did not enjoy this at all. So I'll be honest I went into this fully expecting not to like it, but somewhat hoping that it would redeem the series and make it worth my while. I just didn't get the opportunity to do so until this April! But I was still intrigued enough, especially by the retelling aspects, to want to finish the series. At that time, I thought Everland was okay, and I liked Umberland even less. I read Everland and Umberland, the first two books in this series, last spring.
