For my third quarter SSR book I read the third fantasy novel in the Peculiar Children's series called Library of Souls, written by Ransom Riggs. In this book, there are many horrific events that took place such as the kidnapping of the peculiar children, as well as romantic scenes with Jacob and Emma Bloom, the two main characters in the story. I would definitely not read this book in a hundred years because in my opinion there is a lack of characters. The main characters are only Jacob and Emma which are trying to save lost children but there were not any good scenes in the book where different characters were introduced. I loved the fact that Jacob and Emma are falling in love with each other but there cannot be a mix of love and 'fighting monsters' at the same time. Throughout the novel, the main characters are trying to find Miss Peregrine and the peculiar children which were kidnapped by wights which are evil peculiars that have taken form of human beings. One of the scenes included Emma and Jacob being chased by some of these evil creatures, but managed to escape and remain unharmed.
In conclusion, I think that in the future I would prefer to read a different novel that does not involve monsters and made-up creatures. I have never been into fantasy and Sci-fi novels but I decided to give this one a try, but it has not changed my interests one bit. I could not connect with this novel at all because I have never been in a situation where I have to go save somebody who has been kidnapped, or just saved anyone in general. I think in the future I will just stick with the classic novels that are based on true events, not ones with made up human-like creatures or monsters.
