Great continuation of the first book. The plot was amazing and gripping. 
The plottwist at the end was amazing and (at least I) did not see it coming! 
I would definitely recommend every fan of the first book to read the second, too!

Great book with a thoroughly enveloping world. The prose is well written, with a great plot,  nicely rounded and developed characters. 
The very premise of these books is fantastical and wonderfully imaginative, I highly recommend the whole series.

The spoiler tags make the book look way worse than it actually is, this book is fine for teens just maybe not ten year olds.

This felt like such a downer, and made me unsure about continuing the series when I checked how long the series actually was. I rated it highly because I do think that if I were in middle school this would have been my jam. It was nice to learn about more Peculiar abilities, creatures, and lore.

Definitely a good book, although is just behind the original for me. The story was interesting, and I always love how Ransom Riggs incorporates the peculiar photos as well as leaves you on a cliff hanger magnificently every time. I’ll need to pick up the next book soon!
