This is what bridges the gaps of these books between YA and adult literature. They are particularly haunting, especially on page 443 (go look).

Of course, a Riggs staple are the creepy vintage-looking photographs of peculiars, spread throughout the book. These three chase Caul, whose mission is to control the Library of Souls, long thought of as a myth, but it is real. That is Addison’s other specialty – his nose can sniff out peculiars. The couple (twinges of romance but a platonic love that does not take away from the adventurous narrative), along with peculiar talking dog Addison, are in pursuit of the kidnapped Ymbrynes, including their precious Miss Peregrine, and their other peculiar friends. The review continues below, but also check out the book tour dates and Ransom Riggs video below. Wth?!?!Īnd that’s where Library of Souls: The Third Novel of Miss Peregrine’s Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs begins – the moment Jacob realizes that his gift is not just to sense or see hollows, but to control them. When all of a sudden, a calm surrounded him and he was able to speak command in hollow-tongue. Jacob, in particular, had a hollow tentacle wrapped around his neck. When we last left peculiar children (well teenagers), Jacob and Emma, in Hollow City, they were on the brink of death.
