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!

The very premise of these books is fantastical and wonderfully imaginative, I highly recommend the whole series.
Graphic: Torture
Moderate: Violence and Gun violence

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.yrlaevelyn's review against another edition

The new characters we meet in this book add depth to the story, as we learn more about the peculiar world and the trouble it's facing.
Jacob has a tough choice to make in this book and the way Ransom Riggs went about it was realistic and felt right for Jacob.
The two twists in the book, I had no clue they were coming.
Overall I absolutely adore these books and the characters.
