I found this book easy to read. I enjoyed most of the story line but it didn't not have a conclusion which kind of annoyed me. ( )

This was my least favorite book of the series so far, though the story itself was good overall, about as good as the rest, to me. But I feel like either Ransom Riggs is getting more lazy or I'm just noticing it more. The most glaringly obvious is Noor. I was never a fan of Emma and Jacob's relationship, so I don't care that Jacob has a new romantic interest. However, Noor herself, and the development of their relationship, is like a rinse and repeat of Emma. Riggs seems to have no imagination for major female characters, especially those of the love-interest variety. And in this book, Jacob remarks that his relationship with Emma was "chaste," to which I respond, "Compared to what?!" This is quite a ret-con of the earlier books, during which Jacob and Emma were definitely fairly physical. I really don't understand the author's thoughts in all of this.

This is not the only example, though, as a prophecy that was written in many different languages and cobbled together into English just happens to rhyme in English (and this happens again later with a shorter text). A loop that is locked just happens to let 2 people in, but keep all others out (nothing nefarious or planned, simply no explanation given). And the climax seems like it should be impossible (not saying more to avoid spoilers), but no explanation is given to make it more believable.

I think Riggs has done something decent here with this series, though I do wonder if he should have stopped at the first trilogy. Or perhaps made the second trilogy more of a removal from the first. A lot of people don't really care for the villain in this 2nd half, and while it doesn't really bother me, I get the frustration. I don't know if he plans to continue with more books or not, but even though this book was less fun for me, I'm still looking forward to reading the culmination of this 3-book arc, and possibly of the entire series.

Picks up where the last one left off and ends on another cliffhanger! I enjoyed this installment of the Peculiar Children series. The teen angst was definitely toned down in this book. There's still angst, but it's not coming from Jacob so it didn't seem so prominent. I liked that Jacob and Emma had a talk and are trying to be friends. It seemed very mature and that's refreshing in the YA genre. ( )

I just finished this book and I'm not sure what to think. First of all, I had my doubts about listening to this book as an audiobook and those turned out to be well-founded. I missed the obscure and strange photos that appear in the print and e-book versions and I found myself zoning out of the story repeatedly. That being said, this series was starting to loose its charm before this volume and I can almost say for certain that it will be quite some time before I pick it up again. ( )

I have read all of the books in the Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children series and I have loved them all...up to this point. I was extremely excited to read this book and bought it within a week of its release. I felt that compared to the other stories there was no real beginning and end. Each of the books usually end with some sort of cliffhanger or an event that can be continued in another book, and this one did as well, but I am not as excited for the next book. This book didn't have a ton of excitement and interesting portions like the other books. When I got to the end of the book, I kept thinking "that was it?" I hope the next book is much better. ( )

One of the main driving factors of this novel was the fantastic character cast because unfortunately, the plot narrative ended a bit disappointing. Instead of focusing on the Americans clans and the impending war due to Noor. And, instead of new villains or lackeys and evil peculiar, we get the old villain as the main villain from the first three books.

Deep in the green-glowing bowels of a Chinatown seafood market, down a dead-end hallway lined with crab tanks, we crouched in a puddle of dark the lighteater had made, watched over by a thousand alien eyes.
