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!

I love these books so much. I honestly don't have anything bad to say about them, the only thing I can think of as a critique is how long the chapters are. That's it.

The new characters we meet in this book add depth to the story, as we learn more about the peculiar world and the trouble it's facing. 

Jacob has a tough choice to make in this book and the way Ransom Riggs went about it was realistic and felt right for Jacob.

The two twists in the book, I had no clue they were coming.

Overall I absolutely adore these books and the characters.

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!

This felt like such a downer, and made me unsure about continuing the series when I checked how long the series actually was. I rated it highly because I do think that if I were in middle school this would have been my jam. It was nice to learn about more Peculiar abilities, creatures, and lore.

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