![]() ![]() I found the relationship between Emma and Jacob really forced and disturbing. I put the final one on my TBR, but at this point it feels like morbid curiosity than eagerness. ![]() I thought it rendered the rest of the book pointless. I was also highly disappointed in the ending. ![]() I didn’t find that necessary and it was a bit overwhelming. The idea of the first book being a story to string together the odd photographs was great, but the new pictures have entirely different people in them and seemed to necessitate adding another large number of characters to the second book. This lackluster summary is appropriate for this book, which has a serious case of ‘Second Book Syndrome.’ The first book introduced us to a ton of unusual characters and a cool underground world where the second one gave us a lot of throw-away characters and introduced too many new main characters. Along the way, they encounter new allies, a menagerie of peculiar animals, and other unexpected surprises. Having escaped Miss Peregrine’s island by the skin of their teeth, Jacob and his new friends must journey to London, the peculiar capital of the world. This second novel begins in 1940, immediately after the first book ended. ![]()
