Maybe not a five star read the second time through, but I remember why I loved this, and that's what's important :)

This is one of my new favorite series, no questions asked. This book picks up right where it left off and it didn’t slow down from there. I had a full period to read during school (88 minutes) and spent the whole time reading. I finished the book the next day. Hollow City was amazing and I enjoyed it so much.

It was definitely creepier than the first book, but I loved it. Of course, if you’re not into that kind of stuff, I wouldn’t recommend you read it, but it personally doesn’t bother me. I think it adds a special touch to the book that makes it even more exciting. Ransom Riggs definitely knows how to write and he’s written a perfect fantasy with time travel, peculiarity, and even a bit of history. His characters are so in-depth and creative. Emma is one of my new favorite characters (of all time) because she doesn’t let anything stop her. I also like Jacob a lot and think he’d be a really awesome friend.

I cannot express how unique this series is enough. Nothing is cliché with this series. It’s not like every other young adult book, it’s different. I think that’s the reason why I love this series so much. I highly recommend you give it a try, I swear you won’t regret it.
