Great continuation of the first book. The plot was amazing and gripping. 
The plottwist at the end was amazing and (at least I) did not see it coming! 
I would definitely recommend every fan of the first book to read the second, too!

This second novel in the Miss Peregrine series is somehow even wilder and more action-packed than the first book. Filled with richly depicted time travel and increasingly dangerous attempts to save Miss Peregrine, the lore of the peculiar world grows ever more fascinating, and the ending provides a twist I never saw coming. This is such a great series!

Genial tittel, spennende fortsettelse. Bilder og tekst funker fint sammen, og det er like mye fantasy som i bok 1

So while this book was much faster paced than the first the fact that they kept saying 

she had 3 days when they already established she had two

was annoying (so minus .5 points)
I don't really like most of the characters still so while it is getting interesting I still kinda don't fully like it
I don't own the third and doubt I'll buy it myself but if someone offers me a chance to read it or I find it at a library I might

I'm not going to do a review for this one. All I can say is: I SAW THAT ENDING COMING! Did anyone else? I guessed it maybe halfway through the book.

brynn_books's review against another edition

3.5

I really enjoyed this book. I find the concept of these books so cool and interesting. The photographs are weirdly disturbing but they fit the story really well.

I’m pretty sure I liked the first book more but this is still a solid read and In excited to continued the series.
