I'm at a loss for many reasons with this book. I love reading about these characters, BUT dang ransom really put them through it in this book. I'll admit there were a few things that I would've liked to have seen be executed differently and one thing in particular that I'm not a huge fan of. It's something that I've seen a lot of series that have been revived tend to do. I can't really go into detail with that, because it'll end up spoilery. I also had to act like I didn't read the line "he let

This was...not good.
I am tired. Tired of these continuations of series that just suck the content from the original series away, undo things that were done. Tired of authors being so lazy they can’t even come up with a new villain.
This book was flat. The characters felt dull and lifeless. The world of peculiars, once so interesting and unique, feels lifeless, like all the magic has been drained from it. The photographs interwoven throughout the story feel cheap, and not overly connected to the ...more

Sweet Lord, this is totally my favorite book cover from the series 😍😍
LOVED this! I am a big fan of the Miss Peregrine books and this one did not let me down... Only bad bit is that we have to wait to find out what happens next!!

Oh wow I loved this book and when I got to the last page I was sad because I knew I’m going to have to wait awhile until the next one and yes, there will be another one thank goodness.
This one was fast paced and exciting and I just wanted to keep on reading it.
I loved all the books in the series so for me Mr Riggs can keep churning them out for as long as possible.

I'm so disappointed. Like you can see above, I gave four stars to each book in this series so far. Let me be really clear: four stars means I love a book, it's not a favorite but I love it. I know many give five stars when they love a book, so I'm just explaining how I rate books myself. Anyway, like I was saying, I love this series. I loved each book in this series. I thought i ...more

I was a little hesitant going into this book after how the last one turned out to be a bit of a disappointment. I’m glad to report that my fears were unfounded and I absolutely loved this book! Everything about it was perfect, it had just the right amount of action and suspense and character development and it all balanced out beautifully. I was so happy to see the characters return to their normal selves, they had just become so different in the fourth book and it was quite jarring! I also real

With this book, I feel like we're back on familiar territory. We're no longer exploring American peculiardom so much anymore. The wights are back with a new plot. I was enjoying the different culture in America but the series does seem to have more direction now. Still it was fast based and exciting. Jacob and his friends are a great joy to read about, with Miss Peregrine being the least interesting character in each book. I'm glad the group ditches her at every opportunity. I'm really looking f

This wasn't the most in-depth or eventful book so far. I also dislike a cliffhanger. I hope he ends the series with the 6th book, these stories simply don't need to be dragged on and on.

Aw man. I really loved the start of this series and the whole idea of creating a world around creepy old photos. It really worked. I also was a huge Supernatural fan until season 6.
I sadly think it's time to let it go.
I didn't hate the book, but it also added nothing to the story for me and I would have preferred the series ended on a high. It was OK, as a filler book goes, and I may even have given this 3 stars if Ransom Riggs... RANSOM FING RIGGS hadn't written those soul destroying words that ...more

Ransom Riggs, why would you do this to me?
This book was such a DISAPPOINTMENT!! With a mediocre plot and an annoying love triangle, this book was not peculiar at all. As someone who has been following the series (this being the fifth book) devotedly, I wouldn’t defame the book unless it is BAD, like bad bad! All it tried to achieve was building-up for the next book, without adding anything to the plot.
That said, I’m still going to read the last book (of course, once it comes out) because I ...more

I love this series so much - EURGH that ending! Next one comes out next week, right? Right??
Oh I’ve made a grave mistake reading this now when another one could take over a year to release. That ending....
As mentioned in the review for A Map of Days, I’m thoroughly impressed that I’m enjoying this follow up series even more than the OG trilogy. I love being with these characters and just in this entirely new environment. I missed them, but I also love the new characters.
Overall I’m just happy to be back in this world, caught up on another series, and now we wait for the next book.

The quality of these sequels is deteriorating.
Hollow City was great, and I actually forgot the names of the next ones because they were extremely bad.
The charm of the original book is completely gone here. The peculiar world is no longer intriguing, the new characters are exact replicas of the old ones, the gang isn't even together anymore, Miss Peregrine does nothing except yell at the kids - I am so tired of this all.

Hmmmmmm. So, I want to start by stating that I enjoyed this book, but I think authors need to stop extending series. This series should have stopped at Library of Souls in my opinion.
I did like this book! But it definitely isn’t my favorite in the series. I felt the pacing was just odd, and I think it was like that because mostly only 3 main things happen in this story, and there just wasn’t much going on. In AMOD there was a glorious mystery element, and codes, and scavenger hunts. This book d ...more

Probably my least favourite book in the series so far (and I love this series).
For me The Conference of The Birds felt flat, it was a filler novel that (in my mind) should have been twice the length to actually close off the story... There are two or three stories running at once, none of which really get any closure or solid explanation and I'm left feeling disappointed more than anything.
Don't get me wrong, my reading tastes have changed over the years, it might just be YA isn't for me anymore ...more

The Conference of the Birds was good and I did like this book but I think this series should stop at Library of Souls. I liked how this book picks up what A Map of Days left off but I just didn’t enjoy it much. This probably my least favorite book in this series.

God. What a damn cliff hanger. I really hope Ransome Riggs comes out with a new book this year. He owes us for giving us a book with 150 pages less than the last novel. I’m so sad right now that I’ve got to wait.
Abandoned story
The author starts so many interesting story lines and then throws the away without a second thought. It feels forced.

Ahhh How exciting that we get another book in this fabulous series! I was ecstatic to read this one, even though the last wasn’t the best it pains me to say. However I was still excited and pre-ordered a signed copy as soon as I could.
So, we continue with Jacob and his peculiar friends. This book does not disappoint. It has everything that you would expect from this Fantasy series. There are explosions, revelations and despair. Ransom Riggs creates a masterpiece by entwining vintage photographs ...more

Jacob is trying to get Noor out of New York and into the safety of a loop. There, they meet back up with the other peculiars and Miss Peregrine. Noor is a part of an ancient prophecy predicting the end of the world. The question is, who are the other seven? War is looming with the wights and time is ticking as the peculiars and ymbrynes learn of a list of items the wights are gathering, one that makes things all the more dangerous. And Jacob gets closer to finding V. While this book wasn't quite

Hi, I'm Ransom, and I like to tell stories. Sometimes I tell them with words, sometimes with pictures, often with both. I grew up on a farm on the Eastern shore of Maryland and also in a little house by the beach in Englewood, Florida where I got very tan and swam every day until I became half fish. I started writing stories when I was young, on an old typewriter that jammed and longhand on legal

“One never knows when the end is coming, or if we may all be assembled together as a whole and complete family again. And so I want you to know that I regret every day that my full attention has been called away from you, and if these talks, and the rebuilding of our loops at home, have caused me to shirk my responsibility to you, I am sorry. In the end I am your mistress and your servant. You mean more to me than all the birds in the sky and the heavens above them. If you love me, I hope I have deserved it.”
