I loved this. I listened to the audiobook a few months ago and it’s almost time for me to get the second one from the library (all the holds). It was a perfect reminder of what happened in the first book and now I’m ready to jump right in to the second once I get it!
Fantastic art. Would recommend reading the novel first then the graphic novel after.
The book is one I've read before, but the illustrations are quite amazing! Still a fantastic read!
Although I loved this graphic novel, I kind of hated it too.
Well, hate is a bit of a strong word. But there were things about it that just…annoyed me.
Basically, I read the novel edition of Miss Peregrine’s late last year, and I loved them. But the thing I found is there is no “filling out” in the series. Most of the pages are needed to help you feel close to the characters and understand what’s happening at all times. And because this book is so unique, when you take away some of those pages…it’s pretty hard to grasp. The plot is complicated, with twists and parts that are hard to describe in few words.
So compressing it into speech bubbles and pictures doesn’t really work, in a way. Well, it only does (in my humble opinion) if you’ve read the novel first.
But…if you have read the novel first, it’s amazing! As I already knew all of the characters and the plot, this book just made me feel even more immersed in the story. And the illustrations are insane! Jean has some crazy skill there – and it’s really used well in this graphic novel. Both her and Riggs’ skill combine to make this book…a peculiar kind of beautiful.
So overall, I would definitely recommend this! I would just also recommend that you read the novel first (or maybe watch the movie when it’s released!).
My rating is…

5/5 Stars.
Instead of rereading this for a fourth time, I decided to try out the Graphic Novel! I’m currently rereading the first two books so I can finally catch up!
I make it very clear that this is my all time favorite series, and it was fun to see it play out as a graphic novel. I will be doing the same for Hollow City!

i enjoyed it! the love between emma and jacob kinda was iffy for me but ill just ignore it for the rest of the story. the art and the colour palette was beautiful. i do own the actual novel, having bought it a while ago and i think ill read that soon. the graphic novel seemed rushed but thats cuz theres probably alot of content and not all can fit. so ofc im gonna read the novel. i actually saw the movie first and i enjoyed it and it didnt ruin the actual story for me so i shall be continuing the series.
I have a stomach bug and plantar fasciitis, so being able to read this book today was a good distraction.
This book was a nice way for me to get refreshed on the characters and the story before I continue reading the rest of the series. This book had a faster pace than the non-graphic novel of this book, but I enjoyed them both a lot and I'm excited to read Hollow City.
