Hollow City by Ransom Riggs
The basis of the book:
The extraordinary
journey that began in Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children
continues as Jacob Portman and his newfound friends journey to London
the peculiar capital of the world. But in this war-torn city, hideous
surprises lurk around every corner. Like its predecessor, this second
novel in the Peculiar Children series blends thrilling fantasy with
never-before-published vintage photography to create a one-of-a-kind
reacting experience
My thoughts on the book:
I really liked the story. Really, really liked it. I like how he has taken actual photographs and made an usual story from them. It is nice to have an usual and different type of story to read in a growing sea of sameness.
I truly wanted to know what would happen once I started reading. I did have moments when things didn't click for me or make sense but it didn't stop me from finishing. I could have just been tired from reading, who knows. I thought there was some good character development from the first book, which made me happy. I didn't want these characters to stay flat the entire way through however long the series might be. The way he has weaved this tale makes me anxious for the next book and it cannot get here soon enough. I cannot wait to see where he takes this story.
Overall, I give this book 4 out of 5 stars. It is one of the better books I have read and hope everyone enjoys it as much as I did.
