The Hollow City

Book
The Hollow City

Author
Ransom Riggs

Summary
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. Along the way, they encounter new allies, a menagerie of peculiar animals, and other unexpected surprises.

Thoughts
I was not as impressed with the second novel, but second novels are...difficult. Even though it seemed to run at a slower pace, I still enjoyed it thoroughly. I was much more impatient and wanted answers to my questions, but what was provided was enough to leave me needing more. We find Jacob running for his life with his new-found friends and we wonder what new world he will stumble into next. I like it and want more and want to understand more, but why, tell me why. Riggs leaves you at the edge of your seat, wanting more, but not delievering until he knows you cannot stand it any longer. I wish I could give you more, but...spoilers!

'Til next time!
