book was received from the publisher in exchange for an honest review,
This is definitely the kind of book that will leave you reeling for days and days.
Even a few pages in, I knew Library of Souls was going to be my favorite book of the Miss Peregrines Peculiar Children trilogy.
Ransom Riggss writing just gets better and better, the adventures get bigger, and my heart gets more and more attached to Jacob and Emma.

These books seem to be released just far enough apart for me to forget EVERYTHING that happened in the previous novel.
If you, like me, need a refresher course on the events of sitelinkHollow City, Wiki has a nice synopsis sitelink wikipedia. org/wiki/Hollow
And they're off! While Jacob struggles to master his newly discovered and incredibly useful talent, the Peculiars are on a quest to rescue Miss Peregrine, the ymbrynes and the other Peculiars.
Maybe it's just me, but this one seemed WAY darker than the last two books lots of disturbing happenings, injuries and bloodied clothing.
There are some tense, tense moments in store for the gang,
When he spoke, I glanced past him down the passage, My eyes were still adjusting to the dark, but what I could see was terrifying: winding and mazelike, it was lined with doorless doorways that gaped like missing teeth, and it was alive with sinister sounds murmurs, scrapes, scurrying steps.
Even now I could feel hungry eyes watching us, knives being drawn,
Luckily, there is plenty of comic relief, much of it provided by a boatman named Sharon Ha! who serves as sort of a tour guide through the terrors awaiting in Devil's Acre.
When asked if anything is illegal, he replies, "Library late fines are stiff, Ten lashes a day, and that's just for paperbacks, " Despite the fact that Sharon possesses a face only a mother gargoyle could love, he sure warmed my cockles.
Then there was this:
"Okay, okay, don't waste all your energy on them," Emma said, wobbling to her feet.
Then a rotten head of cabbage bounced off her shoulder and fell splat to the ground.
She lost it,
"All right, someone's gonna get their face melted!" she yelled, waving a flaming hand at the squatters.
And, my favorite bit
I have no idea if this is the last Peculiar tale, but I'm happy to take a look at anything else that may creep, ooze, crawl or slither out of the mind of this author.
I freakin love these stories and hope they go on for a while,
I have to say Jacob and Emma's relationship is my favorite that I've read in a while.
The way they interact throughout the novel is breath takingly beautiful, Every time I read a scene I felt like I was there with them following along the adventures.
I really wish peculiarities was true, Satisfying conclusion! Ransom Riggs Library of Souls the final installment in Miss Peregrines Peculiar Children trilogy picks up where Hollow City ends.
Even with a new purpose established at the end of Hollow City, I had become
a little tired of the peculiar children always being on the run.
They barely seem to have time to catch their breath, This made the first half of Library of Souls a bit difficult for me to engage with, Finally, though, Jacob, with his newfound ability to control the Hollows, takes the initiative, He is joined by his companion, Emma, and talking dog, Addison yes, a talking dog, who is the most memorable if not the best character in the book.
The fate of peculiardom is in their hands, The ending to this book and to the series is satisfying, I decided to bump up my rating from,tobecause I enjoyed my time with the peculiars and maybe even because Im looking forward to seeing how this series translates onto the big screen beginning this December.
boy with extraordinary powers.
An army of deadly monsters,
An epic battle for the future of peculiardom,
The adventure that began with "Miss Peregrines Home for Peculiar Children" and continued in "Hollow City" comes to a thrilling conclusion with "Library of Souls.
"
As the story opens, sixteenyearold Jacob discovers a powerful new ability, and soon hes 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.
Theyll travel from modernday London to the labyrinthine alleys of Devils Acre, the most wretched slum in all of Victorian England.
Its a place where the fate of peculiar children everywhere will be decided once and for all, Third book in the miss peregrine's series shows the dark side of the peculiar world, It's more gritty than necessary imo,
There is a line with these YA series between dark and exciting to gritty and filled with extremely mature content.
And this installment of our little tale of weird children trying to survive in hidden society with creepy historical photos is turn into an fight against extermination with drugs, slavery, blood sports, and stealing of children's souls.
There's no sex which is really only a american concern when rating content but I consider this very mature despite that omission.
I'm not kidding jacob and emma enter a over the top filthy, seedy, depraved underground worst than any in our world.
I'm getting ahead myself, This one starts off with Jacob whining and thinking about leaving perculairdom, I have mentioned that I'm not a fan of jacob's character in other reviews, Their friends are taken by the whites, So jacob resolves to recuse them with Emma than decided what to do after, So that the dramatic tension and I couldn't care less, Let jacob go the series would be better without him imo, They have the dog addison to help them track their friends and the honorably bracious pup is the best character in the book for me.
Since mrs. P and the others are barely in it, They enter the underground and meet many underisirables including both mrs, P brothers. Bantham is decently written character although you know how his part will turn out, But Kall or however you spell his name is over the top evil, Reminds me of Galbatorix from Eragon just ridiculous, Let me tell you what makes a good villain, . . Layers not by making him pure evil, Like modern history greatest villain hitler, There's a good poll in america I won't post it here but in summary it says you have to vote for a lifetime leader of the world candidateis a rampant crippled womanizer.
Candidateis a lazy failure of a drunk who wakes every day past noon, And the third is a vegetarian war hero who never drinks or smokes, Well of course most pick candidatewho is hitleris Roosevelt andis Churchill, Point is layers make good villains and Kall is a ridiculously bad villain, Anyway side tangent over. Jacob gains a stupendous ability he does not understand and sort of develops it and Kall and the whites are defeated.
The last quarter of the book is jacob saying goodbye to perculairdom which is really drawn out and overdone.
In short this is a over the top tale trying to be more epic than it has to be.
Will read the others in the series later but this seems like a good stopping point for now.
So much happens in the third book, I feel like this should've been much longer, There's many leaps and bounds that the characters make that made me want to go, "wait a minute.
Back up. " Like how there's a black market for powerenhancing drugs or there's weird peculiar cage fights, It just feels like we expanded from a little time loop to this whole new world far too quickly.

”
Library of Souls is the most imaginative book of this series and the final conclusion to the war continuing since the last two books.
Every element astounded me and kept my eyes attach to this book, The characters have developed perfectly, especially Jacob, I liked his mind and never did he bore me out because he always surpised me with his dynamic at every turn.
“Maybe," she said, "Maybe. But now you're making promises you might not be able to keep, and that's how people in love get very badly hurt.
”
I don't want to say much about this one except it's beyond my expectation from the beginning to the end.
The world Ransom Riggs created was wonderful and unique, he reminded me of XMen sometimes, but actually it's not like that at all.
This book is much more than some action or scifi movies, the book itself cloaks the profound messages immaculately between the lines and the characters have many dimensions.
Library of Souls is beautifully written but the story is a little bit slow compared with the previous books.
Anyway, the ending is real epicness, I tried to catch my breath while I was reading that scene, At the last page, I miss every character and want to learn more about them, Ransom Riggs made me addicted to this series, and when I spent my time too far from this book, I wanted to come back and read it.
I couldn't see straight until I read the final chapter, TRUST ME ! This series is a real addiction !
“It had become one of the defining truths of my life that, no matter how I tried to keep them flattened, twodimensional, jailed in paper and ink, there would always be stories that refused to stay bound inside books.
It was never just a story, ”
