When Hollow City came to its satisfying conclusion, I had an urge to reread the book and relive the strangely magically novel all over again. Ransom Riggs is at his best in Hollow City and his cinematic prose will provide readers with a story unlike any other. With plenty of unexpected twists, Hollow City is quite frankly one of the best sequels I've read to date and it definitely surpasses it's predecessor.
Hollow City is incredibly fast-paced with an interesting story that fans of Mrs. I love both Emma and Jacob, but still I don't get their relationship and it feels out of place and extremely unnecessary in this series. The way Emma took charge of the group, when all her life she was cared for by Mrs. To live the same moments all over again for so many years is truly a horrifying thing and in some ways, the children are adults trapped in childrens' bodies. It was interesting to see Olive, Hugh, and Emma's characters explored further and to see what effects the loop had on them. I loved learning more about the Peculiar children in Hollow City and character development is one of Riggs's strongest suits. I loved visiting so many varied locations and reading about the distinct Peculiar locals. The world-building in Hollow City is thorough and readers will be brought to new loops where there are peculiar animals and other unexpected creatures (for lack of a better term). The first novel in the series had a very closed environment to it and it was amazing to see the expanded world of the Peculiars. It was exciting to see the world outside of Cairnholm (Miss P's island) and to read about the Peculiar children who are traveling to London. I'm not diminishing audiobooks and ebooks at all, but there's something beautiful and raw about seeing the photographs on a page and not a screen. Each photo provides readers with a visual treat and I feel like reading Hollow City in a physical book is an extraordinary experience. I love the way the photos tie into the story and how each photo seems to tell a story of it's own. The photographs in Hollow City are just as bizarre and outlandish as the ones in the first book.
Hollow City does an excellent job of creating a captivating, magical world and accompanying the plot with finely selected vintage photos. Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children is one of my all-time favorite books and I've been waiting to read Hollow City for ages! As soon as I received Hollow City, I began to devour this strange book and I believe Hollow City is even better than Mrs. Check out Scott Reads It for more reviews!
