I've been reading this series ever since it first came out and I have LOVED every single book that Ransom Riggs wrote, every book has been a new & exciting adventure. Except this book, I feel like the author fell flat with this one. I was honestly a little bored with it until the last few chapters; it's one of those books where I kept thinking, "Ok, when are things going to pick up?" Map of Days (book 4) left readers wanting more; there had been so much character development in the last two books, each peculiar changing and growing, maturing and each misson taught each peculiar an important lesson. I was excited where the author was going with it at the end of Map of Days but this next installment of the series, bored me. Loved the new romance aspect, the ending was good, but thats it. I heard the next book in the series is the last one so I am really hoping he ends it on a good note.
