Hollow City by Ransom Riggs
3.0
Better than expected! I had heard that this middle book of the "Mrs. Peregrine" Trilogy was a little slow, but I liked it. Especially the ending! I loved that Jacob's powers are beginning to evolve in this story!
Spoiler and now he can control the hollows! I felt in the first book it was kinda a lame peculiarity to just be able to see an invisible monster. I would be like, "aww man, why can't I make fire or raise the dead or have bees live inside of me, this power is lame" But having Jacob figure out how to control the hollows is pretty BA. It kinda reminds me of being a parseltongue.
The story also ends on such a great cliff hanger, I can't wait to start on the next book!
