REVIEW- Library of Souls by Ramson Riggs
A boy with extraordinary powers.
An army of deadly monsters.
An epic battle for the future of peculiardom.
The adventure that began with Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children and continued in Hollow City comes to a thrilling conclusion with Library of Souls. As the story opens, sixteen-year-old Jacob discovers a powerful new ability, and soon he’s diving through history to rescue his peculiar companions from a heavily guarded fortress. Accompanying Jacob on his journey are Emma Bloom, a girl with fire at her fingertips, and Addison MacHenry, a dog with a nose for sniffing out lost children. They’ll travel from modern-day London to the labyrinthine alleys of Devil’s Acre, the most wretched slum in all of Victorian England. It’s a place where the fate of peculiar children everywhere will be decided once and for all. Like its predecessors, Library of Souls blends thrilling fantasy with never-before-published vintage photography to create a one-of-a-kind reading experience.

A war between the most unlikely of teams gives the name of judgment of others a run for their lives. Lies to not only yourself but the ones you care about more than life itself.
A love that shouldn't be between a peculiar and a normal.
The souls being taken and your power is only useful when you truly know how to manipulate your mind into doing so.
When your life is in danger yet you must not only save yourself but those who became the family you always wanted.
When fate is decided for you it may be hard to be a part of something that is, per say, beyond your most peculiar dreams.
The anxiety of not being able to save the ones you love but wanting to sacrifice your life for those who gave there's the same.
As aging catches up, it's hard to believe that the world you've come to cherish more than the one you're from, isn't where you belong.
Everything you've experienced, learned and the people you met is something only you know and have to live with. But when you return to your normal life, nothing is the same as it was before and it never will be. Feeling betrayed, embarrassed and foolish beyond belief, your parents find the letters Emma wrote when you returned home and of course, they think you're mad.
But what if they came to your rescue, knowing you didn’t belong in the world you live in.
"We're here to save you. Like you saved us"
I rate this book 3/5, wasn't my favourite of the series but was still worth the read!
