The New York Times #1 best-selling series.
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 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.
