Book Review: “Library of Souls” (Book 3: Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children)

by Ransom Riggs.

This concluding book certainly makes up for the boring second instalment of the Miss Peregrine series!

Travelling through London, this adventure comes to a stop at the slums of Devil’s Acre, a vile corner of Victorian England. Here is where we meet the magical Mother Dust, the mysterious Sharon, and the quirky Bentham. And here is where we go back and forth in time, and in and out of different parts of the world as the mission takes Jacob and Emma from the legendary library of souls through the integrated time loop system. Although at times it felt like things fell too conveniently into place, I enjoyed this book.

Overall this series contained a very good idea at its core, with some interesting characters and some very cool fantasy and action sequences (although there really wasn't enough material to stretch it into three books).
