For more information you can look at the Policy page. (Disclaimer: Some of the links below are affiliate links. Darling is a fast paced emotional story which I have to recommend to everyone! I adore how Ancrum interrogates the original, while also updating and bringing new elements to Darling. And, ultimately, are immersed in situations beyond their making, while also being the only ones who can right these wrongs. The lives and voices of teens who are thrown into precarious situations, needing a leader and friend, a brother and protector.
All the ways in which she finds her own power and solidarity. The ways in which she discovers her own agency. Darling is not only a close examination of the character of Peter, his flaws and vulnerabilities, but also of Wendy. By showcasing the shades of grey within our own actions. But Ancrum is also able to allow the retelling aspect to shine by examining ethics and morality. There are moments when the original peeks through, when you see an echo in the shadows. Darling balances this high suspense atmosphere which only builds as you continue to read. I buddy read this with Fadwa and we were both unable to stop reading. The ideas of people stealing into our houses, worlds where we never grow up, and the idea of escapsism. Darling is able to bring to light some of the more sinister elements I never even began to contemplate when encountering the original. We are able to witness that captivating charisma that is often toxic, that hides sinister shadows in the night, and yet is able to persuade us in the morning of one’s innocence. Ancrum takes us on a roller coaster of emotions and what struck me most about Darling is Ancrum’s use of suspense. Having loved Ancrum’s The Weight of the Stars, Darling was one of my most anticipated books for 2021.
This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.) (Disclaimer: I received this book from Netgalley.
