The Conference of the Birds by Ransom Riggs
4.0

I’m loving the spin on how to first trilogy ended. I’m loving that Miss. P is finally seeing them as something more that meddlesome kids. I’m loving that we don’t lose any of what this series does well.

But I am getting a bit sick of Jacob thinking running of without telling anyone is a good idea. Surely the guy knows by now - you run away, you get hurt...Every. Single. Time. It’s time this dog learnt a new trick!

I’ll also have to say I find something lacking with the romance. In the first trilogy it felt like an important part of the story. Now it’s just a convenient side plot to connect Jacob to all the parts of the story he needs to be to keep him relevant.

I’m eager to see how to series will end. How Ransom will wrap up this section of his story and whether he’ll leave it open for expansion of the world or whether I’d move onto something else.
