Jacob may have a shiny newfound ability, but it’s not as easy to control as he would have hoped, especially when most of the other peculiar children, as well Miss Peregrine herself, need rescuing, and it’s up to Jacob and Emma, along with the peculiar dog Addison, to save them. It’s time to navigate the seedy underbelly of peculiardom, and it definitely won’t be easy.

This book nicely ties up the 3-book story encompassing the first half of the overall series as it exists right now. I was sad that most of the other children were barely in it and that there weren’t many new characters involved either. The story is still inventive and full of action, though. The setting(s) for this book isn’t quite as interesting as those in the previous books—so much time is spent in one dark loop. The inclusion of “drugs” and addicts in peculiardom makes total sense, though it’s certainly sad and pretty appalling when the truth is revealed.

The ending was way too easy, but even as I say that, I’m okay with it. The books up to this point were intense and the characters went through a lot. They deserve something good happening. Overall, the book is even darker than the previous ones, which, coupled with the fact that it has more of an ending than the others that tended to leave on cliffhangers, left me feeling a little less overall excited about the book. I don’t think that’s the book’s fault, though. I’ll sum up by saying that I’m really glad I read these books, but I’m a little uncertain about continuing from here. ( )

This is my favorite one so far ( )

The third, and final, book in the Peculiar Children trilogy was full of mystery and adventure. Everything I loved about the first book was back. There were some things that didn't get wrapped up. Like what happened to Fiona? I always thought she survived because, well, she can control plants. So I believed that she managed to survive the cliff fall by using her ability since there were trees everywhere, but she's never mentioned during the wrap up. I know they were busy trying to put Peculiardom back together, but I thought at least Hugh would want to go back to that loop and look for her.

There weren't as many pictures as the two previous books, which I think was a good thing. Trying too hard to fit the pictures into the story was a detriment to the second book.

The end was satisfying, and a definite end to this particular story, yet it's left open enough that there could be further adventures in store. ( )

Yeah I read the third one. I wanted the story wrapped up and put away. These books are really so awful. ( )

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. ( )
