Lynnie 
young-adult, adventure, fantasty
I ADORED the first book in this series by Ransom Riggs (Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children), & I thought the second book in the series (Hollow City) was okay, but not fantastic. I'm happy to say that I enjoyed this book almost as much as the first.
I really liked that this book narrowed its focus to a few main characters for most of the story- it really made the action flow and it was a joy when the other characters from the previous books finally appeared. I enjoyed the action and adventure along with the vivid descriptions of Devil's Acre but like the Hollow City, I thought the photos included in this book were afterthoughts- as if they found a picture, wrote a small paragraph about it & then stuck that into the novel when they thought they needed another picture. In many ways the photos and their descriptions often took me out of the story. The photos were used most effectively in the original Miss Peregrine novel and in subsequent books I don't think anything would have been missed if they'd been left out entirely.
Library of Souls brought the story of the Peculiar Children to a satisfying end or at least a place where continuing the story isn't necessary. It was great to spend some time in the Peculiar world again for a few days.
