chrissie21 's review for:

Hollow City by Ransom Riggs
4.0

Fantastic sequel - this series is amazingly eerie but the strength of the children's friendship also brings light and enjoyment to the novel. The twist near the end of the book was brilliantly done and upon reflection I should have seen it coming. Riggs' addition of the peculiar animals and new loops was superb and really allows the reader to further explore this peculiar world that the author has so thoughtfully created. As well as this the time period that the children are mainly in throughout this novel is the Second World War which creates a fantastic backdrop to the building battle between the Wights/Hollows versus the other peculiars and their ymbrynes.
