Drew me in much more than the previous books and had, in my opinion, a satisfying finish. Still not sure about every turn that was made, but this felt like it had much of the soul that I enjoy in the original Miss Peregrine novel. ( ) With a larger-than-life villain creating larger-than-life henchmen and a prophecy to fulfill, Miss Peregrine's wards will need to use every tool at their disposal to keep peculiardom from being enslaved. What started as a unique, interesting idea has devolved into a repetitive, boring mess. There are characters and relationships I just couldn't care less about (though that has been an issue for me from the beginning). There is more than one deliberate mislead that just made me feel lied to by the time I'd finished the book. Riggs basically mangles his own foundational lore in this book. And in the end, it all just felt like a watered-down rinse and repeat of the first trilogy's end. I wouldn't necessarily say that Riggs should have stopped after the first trilogy, because he'd already created an interesting world that has a lot of possibilities. However, he definitely should have put more distance between the two trilogies, whether that meant evolving Jacob's abilities in some way, having a different main character (because, let's face it, with Jacob's peculiarity, there's only so much variety in what he can help fight against), or maybe even finding an entirely different group of peculiars to focus on. I now own every book in the series, buying them along the way, but wish I'd have read the last few before deciding to purchase them. I prefer to only own books that I plan to re-read someday, and while I may go back through the first trilogy, I would know to stop there in the future. For anyone else reading this series, certainly keep going if you've enjoyed it so far; plenty of others liked the this book more than I did anyway. ***Contains Spoilers*** The (hopefully) last entry in the Peculiar Children series. There is a lot of action in this book and I find action very difficult to follow so I ended up being bored. It could've easily been 200 pages shorter. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

"The last thing Jacob Portman saw before the world went dark was a terrible, familiar face. Suddenly, he and Noor are back in his grandfather's house. Jacob doesn't know how they escaped from V's loop, but he does know one thing for certain: Caul has returned. Risen from the Library of Souls, Caul and his apocalyptic agenda seem unstoppable. Only one hope remains--deliver Noor to the meeting place of the seven prophesied ones, if they can decipher its secret location"-- No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
