Book Review - Hollow City By Ransom Riggs

Hollow City by Ransom Riggs
(Sequel to Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children)

Publisher: Quirk Books

Release Date: 14 January 2014

Pages: 352

Summary: Having escaped Miss Peregrine's island by the skin of their teeth, Jacob and his new friends have to go to London, the peculiar capital of the world. Along the way, they encounter new allies, a menagerie of peculiar animals, and other unexpected surprises. 

My Thoughts: This book was so great. It picked off in the 1940's just where book one finished. The first significant amount of it was just them rowing away from the island but after that it really picked up the pace.

I loved hearing about The Tales Of The Peculiar and how they used them to find their way to London.

This plot was so well crafted and there was so many times when I was on the edge of my seat! All the children are so different and their personalities come across so easily and their are some very humourous moments. There was also a lot of new characters added which was nice to see.

The vintage pictures are absolutely beautiful and they really help for the reader to imagine the characters and some of the places they visit. For me, this is one of the best parts of this series and really makes it stand out.

Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children is such a unique series in YA. The pictures are something I've never seen before and the story line is amazing. Highly recommended.

Also, this cover is just gorgeous. What do you guys think?
