This book was so vibey and fun ! It picks up right where ‘Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children’ leaves off and remains at a really fast pace. Riggs is also heavy in the cliffhangers, ending off right where everything takes a dramatic turn and keeping me on knifepoint. I also preferred the sequel to the first book as the peculiars were exploring the already spooky atmosphere of 1940s blitz London, encountering more of their kind and the world Riggs creates outside of the initial loop of Cairnholme. It was unintentional as I didn’t know where the setting would take me in this book but the delving into the catacombs of St Paul’s as I happen to be wandering the graveyards of London was an immaculate coincidence.

Character wise it’s a large cast but they remain distinct, Horace really had my heart in this one with his inherent cowardice which he constantly tries to resist, however the terrible audiobook accents were no less jarring.
