This second novel in the Miss Peregrine series is somehow even wilder and more action-packed than the first book. Filled with richly depicted time travel and increasingly dangerous attempts to save Miss Peregrine, the lore of the peculiar world grows ever more fascinating, and the ending provides a twist I never saw coming. This is such a great series!

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.

Genial tittel, spennende fortsettelse. Bilder og tekst funker fint sammen, og det er like mye fantasy som i bok 1

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!

So while this book was much faster paced than the first the fact that they kept saying 

she had 3 days when they already established she had two

was annoying (so minus .5 points)
I don't really like most of the characters still so while it is getting interesting I still kinda don't fully like it
I don't own the third and doubt I'll buy it myself but if someone offers me a chance to read it or I find it at a library I might

I'm not going to do a review for this one. All I can say is: I SAW THAT ENDING COMING! Did anyone else? I guessed it maybe halfway through the book.
