4.5. Creo que lo mejor de todo es saber que va a haber una nueva saga y que la historia de los peculiares no termina acá. Si bien el libro se me hizo super mega denso el final valió la pena. Sobretodo el final final, pasó de algo triste a lo mejor del mundo, es más, tengo que admitir que estaba tan feliz que lagrimee un poco. Gracias Ransom por esta saga tan hermosa con personajes tan geniales, ya quiero leer los nuevos libros!!! No puedo esperar! <3

Was reading with Rebecca but we haven’t read anymore in over a year so I’m setting it aside for now

So good! I love Riggs’ writing style and this story was very well told. Enough weird and spooky and adventure!

Unfortunately I didn't enjoy this book too much. I love the world and the characters (which is why I really wanted to finish the series) but there's something about Ransom Riggs' writing that just doesn't appeal to me.
First off, this book took me a while to get into because it's been so long since I read Hollow City. I'd forgotten quite a few things but eventually some things came back to me.
For a big part of this book I was quite bored. I'd read 2-3 pages and then get distracted by something else. I also feel like the photographs just didn't have the same appeal as they did in the first book.
Nonetheless, I DID like the ending and how the series was wrapped up.

I wanted to like this one so much more than I did!
In all fairness, it wasn't a bad book. The problem for me was for a lot of the book it was basically we are running away, can I do this, no I can't, yes I can, blah blah blah. In essence nothing was really happening. The parts that DID have stuff happening were interesting and good but for me there just weren't enough of them. It was a very trying book because at times I would be zooming through it feeling like I couldn't put it down and at other times I was flipping through pages to see how much longer until it was over.
I bought this one with a gift card too which was disappointing. Usually I don't buy books at full price (bleh!) but I felt like I was going to love this one since one and two were so good. I also wanted to have a hard copy because honestly the look of this book makes me happy. If you have the hard cover book take the dust jacket off for a special surprise! :D I love hidden surprises!
Would I suggest this book? Not on it's own BUT as a conclusion to the series I feel like you have to read it.
