Review: Library of Souls (Book 3)

 Library of Souls
 Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children Book 3
 Ransom Riggs


This whole series only spans a few weeks, and we again pick up from where Hollow City left us readers which took me forever to finally come back to because I am one of those book collectors that will wait for the paperback copy so my series MATCHES but i digress ... 
and we are with Jacob, Emma and Addison who are continuing the search for their missing fellow peculiars and their beloved Ymbrynes.
Now that we know Jacob has a peculiar about him, he may end up more helpful than just a grandson of an old friend.

Their travels brings them to a nasty, run down loop in the middle of Victorian England known as Devil's Acre. This is a place that is most unfriendly to peculiars and their allies.
They are used and abused, hunted, and the land is ruled by those who wish to rob of them of their most valued possession: their soul.

There are also Hollows everywhere.
Never a dull moment, hmm?

As we learn the who, why, and where Miss P and the others have been taken, readers will be amazed at how Riggs once again took everyday photos - as creepy as they are - and blends a wild ride of secrets, history and vivid characters into a story that will be added to the "reread" list for years to come.
and the "must recommend to others" list.

The best part- and small SPOILER ALERT FOR THE LAST CHAPTER - is that he left the ending open for more! *happy dances all around*  So that is always nice.



NEVER SHY AWAY FROM WHAT MAKES YOU SPECIAL #staypeculiar 




P.S There is also Tales of the Peculiar that is mentioned in this story, and has been published as well. I may not write about it but if you want to know some history and backstories, it's one to look out for. Described in the book as "green and thin" and that's exactly what it looks like.
