Library of Souls by Ransom Riggs
3.0
This is my least favorite of the three installments. It felt like everything was all over the place, does that make sense? That everything was in such a disarray.
I felt bad for the hollows for a while. It made me uncomfortable how Jacob sort of possessed them off their faculties and just controlled them. It says so much about how we look at creatures who are perceived to be less intelligent than humans... Like to an extent, the way we treat animals. The way they were manipulated and then discarded off the plot at the end didn't sit well with me.
The epilogue or the last chapter spiked my anxiety! Trigger warnings should have been posted for this one. I laud the writing because it made me so anxious, you could only ever achieve that if you could properly execute that kind of terror. I felt tingly. But I'm glad the peculiars rescued Jacob in the end. Plus the fountain of youth.
(Shifts to addressing the author) Well, still, the world for this series was amazing and soooooo thanks, Ransom Riggs, for a good story!
