The New York Times #1 best-selling series. The movie adaptation of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children is now a major motion picture from visionary director Tim Burton, starring Eva Green, Asa Butterfield, Ella Purnell, Samuel L. Jackson, and Judi Dench. Like its predecessors, Library of Souls blends thrilling fantasy with never-before-published vintage photography to create a one-of-a-kind reading experience. A boy with extraordinary powers. An army of deadly monsters. An epic battle for the future of peculiardom. The adventure that began with Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children and continued in Hollow City comes to a thrilling conclusion with Library of Souls. As the story opens, sixteen-year-old Jacob discovers a powerful new ability, and soon he’s diving through history to rescue his peculiar companions from a heavily guarded fortress. Accompanying Jacob on his journey are Emma Bloom, a girl with fire at her fingertips, and Addison MacHenry, a dog with a nose for sniffing out lost children. They’ll travel from modern-day London to the labyrinthine alleys of Devil’s Acre, the most wretched slum in all of Victorian England. It’s a place where the fate of peculiar children everywhere will be decided once and for all.
Reviews with the most likes.
What a beautiful conclusion to this wonderfully peculiar series.
Out of all three books, the first was by far my favorite but they all took my breath away. I love Ransom Riggs and this amazing story he created.
I want to start this review by saying that I really should have either reread the first two books or at least read some kind of recap of them before starting Library of Souls. For the first chapter or so, I was lost. It had been such a long time since I was in the world of the peculiar children that I had forgotten a lot of what was happening and why things were the way the were. That being said, once I got my bearings, the book became much more enjoyable.
I really love this world and the characters, but the story was lacking in this book. I did not feel the same pull toward the plot as I did with the first book, or even the second book. For me, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children will always be the best book in the series, the other books just did not have the same magic as that one.
Read this one to finish the arc of the three-volume story, but my favorite is Hollow City, the second.
