After their victory over the wights and hollows, Jacob and Miss Peregrine's peculiar children are disappointed in the assignments they're given in the Devil's Acre as part of the reconstruction process. Jacob, in particular, really wants to follow in his hollow-fighting grandfather's footsteps, so he does whatever he can to make that happen. But peculiardom in America is vastly different from what he and the others are used to in Europe, and there's a whole new menace to defend against. It was really nice to see these "kids" who have been through so much have a chance at a little rest. Certainly not as much as they want or deserve, but the book started out more leisurely than the 2 before it. The explanation for why America's peculiar community is so much wilder than Europe's makes complete sense, and I loved the overall change of scenery from the first 3 books. I'm also perfectly okay with Jacob and Emma's relationship cooling off, considering that it always weirded me out anyway. This book was a lot longer than the previous 3, but it didn't feel all that long. I don't remember at any point thinking that something could have easily been cut out. It's the set up to another 3-book arc in the series and unsurprisingly ends with a cliffhanger. I wasn't sure how much I'd like continuing on in this series, but I'm excited to see what comes next! The fourth installment of Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children series starts off right where book 3 left us. I loved spending time with the peculiar kids again. So much so, that around page 120 I realized that not much of anything plot-wise had happened, but I didn't really care. If you didn't really like the first three books or thought they were only okay, then the continuation of this series may not be for you. The third book has a satisfying enough ending, and this is really much more of a new plot rather than a continuation of the story from the first three books. This was a small disappointment in that it's mostly just buildup to the last couple chapters where everything happens and we're left with a massive cliffhanger. However, that seems to be Riggs' general writing MO, so it wasn't exactly unexpected. I'm not so bummed out that I won't read the next one though because I will, especially since I thought the series was done after the first three. One thing I WAS super happy about though is that Emma and Jacob broke up, and I really hope it stays that way. I've always thought that relationship was super creepy...I mean, I can see how Jacob would fall in love with his grandfather's ex-girlfriend, but I had a problem with Emma, who is 80 years old no matter what her body may look like at the moment, falling for a 16 year old kid. That's just super uncomfortable to think about. I have a hard time believing that these "children" wouldn't have matured beyond their looped ages given all that they have to go through and all the time on their hands. There are still things going on in their daily lives and relationships to navigate, not to mention some really heavy stuff going on that they were perfectly aware of despite their rewinding of the same day over and over. Anyway, I'm just glad to see that weirdness dissolve, and I'm hoping that maybe Jacob will hook up with Noora, who is much more his mental equal, in the next book. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

This book starts the series going a different direction than the first three books. It is good, but very different in "feeling". It is successful in developing the story. It does a good job of exploring teenage emotions in the backdrop of also being peculiar. It definitely is a young adult novel.
This story focuses on "America", and doesn't hold back on some of the more sordid history. I will continue the series. ( )
