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.
I am sad to see this series end, but Riggs gave the Peculiar Children a fine ending.
This book was quite jammed packed with action, and we got explanations for the origins of the Hollows and the Wights. We find out about what the wights were after this whole time, and why they have been wrecking havoc. We find out more about Jacob's talent and his grandfather's place in this peculiar world. I feel like Riggs gave me so many answers and did a great job tying up the loose ends. We made some new and interesting friends (Sharon and his cousins), we visited some new and scary places (The Library of Souls, Devil's Acre), but most of all, we saw Jacob experience great growth as he learned more about himself, his talent, and the Peculiar world. I even had a bunch of feels there at the end. So, for me, a great read.
