The New York Times #1 best-selling series
To find their friends, Jacob, Emma, and Addison go to Devil’s Acre, a crime-ridden Victorian underworld, but they uncover an operation far more sinister than they imagined . . .
In Victorian England, Jacob discovers the Library of Souls, a hidden collection that holds the key to saving his peculiar friends and the entire peculiar world. Inside the library, he encounters a ymbryne, a powerful ancient creature who possesses the ability to control time and manipulate souls.
With time running out, Jacob must unlock his own peculiar abilities and confront his darkest fears to rescue his friends from the clutches of the malevolent wights.
Filled with heart-pounding action, breathtaking twists, and the power of friendship, the third chapter of the Miss Peregrine’s Peculiar Children series is a thrilling adventure that tests the limits of courage and the strength of peculiar bonds.
“Oh, my birds, I love this book! I’m obsessed with Ransom Riggs’s wildly creative world packed with heroic, heartwarming characters, super baddies, and incredible settings like Devil’s Acre and the Library of Souls.”—Justine magazine
“Fans of the trilogy’s first two books will enjoy Library of Souls for its unique world, fast action, satisfying answers and a thorough tying up of loose ends.”—Free Lance-Star
“I enjoyed reading this book so much, the cliched ‘I couldn’t put it down’ doesn’t suffice.”—Geeks of Doom
“Readers are sure to leap right in after the cliffhanger ending of Hollow City, and they won’t be disappointed.”—RT Book Review, 4 1/2 of 5 stars
I was little gutted when I found out that Library of Souls was the final book in the Miss Peregrine’s Peculiar Children series as I have loved reading the books, they are fantastic books, with lots of adventure and the vintage photographs really help the reader imagine what the peculiars looked like.
Jacob and Emma has a lot to deal with in this book. Their friends has been taken by the wights and it was looking less likely that they would be able to save their from having their second souls removed.
Devil’s Acre was not a very nice place at all, it was like a prison loop where all the outcasts from peculiardom were put.
Jacob and Emma did manage to get some help and Jacobs powers were increasing since he managed to take control of one small hollowgast. But there were a lot more hollowgasts in the fortress, how will he get control over all of them?
This book was full of twists and turns and just when you think it may all start going right something throws a spanner in the works.
It was a very good addition to the series, I was hooked and I was sad for it to come to an end.
Ransom Riggs has a way of engaging his audience and I hope that he will right more books in the future.
