WHY PEOPLE DON'T TALK ABOUT THIS BOOK ????
Obviously, I AM SO INLOVE WITH THIS SERIES. I haven't read anything like this. It's so different in it's own way. I still remember how thrilling the first book is and how nerve-wrecking the 2nd book and IT'S CLIFFHANGER !!!
The writing of this book was good, the characters was justtttt- I love Jacobbbbbb !!!! He's just the type of character that is kind of lowkey but will definetly make you remember him.

Overall I think the book was good, but I think the ending was contrived and I'm still upset about Fiona, y'all. But it was a good conclusion to the series and in a lot of ways I was really happy with it. You can't have everything you want in a book =). So, 4.5 out of 5 stars. I would recommend this book and series.

Truth be told, I'd have given up on Library of Souls if this wasn't the third book of a saga I was enjoying.
The other books were gripping and introduced us an interesting diversity of characters… but the first half of this book was dull and unexciting. Even worse, this book presented a weak plot, in my opinion.
In Library of Souls, most of the major plot points happened out of the blue, as if Ransom Riggs had just figure what to write in the last minute. If the Library of Souls was such a crucial element of Peculiardom's lore and culture, why haven't we heard about it before? This element would have been much more interesting and believable if it had been carefully planted in a previous book. Moreover, why did Caul's initial plan suddenly became untrue after being so well presented to the reader? Maybe because the author didn't think it through and found out it didn't fit the story? This all seems very sloppy in my opinion, upsetting even! Finally, as a villain, Caul/Jake is such a letdown… Plain, shallow, confusing and disappointing… He need a better and more developed backstory.
Nevertheless, the writing was rather beautiful, and Riggs sure knows how to set a tone and picture a very visual and immersive environment.
Overall, I'd give this book 3*, but as a whole, and given that I enjoyed its predecessors so much, I'll be giving it 4*.

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!
