After the angsty disappointment of the fourth installment in the series， it was a welcome relief to return to the adventure and intrigue expected from the Peculiar Children。 （Maybe Mr。 Riggs was going through his own dark moment with the previous volume and needed to work through something？） The emotion's still present， but Jacob's no longer slouching in the corner and whining every other paragraph。 Instead， you finally get to delve further into the peculiar world and remember there IS a plot at After the angsty disappointment of the fourth installment in the series， it was a welcome relief to return to the adventure and intrigue expected from the Peculiar Children。 （Maybe Mr。 Riggs was going through his own dark moment with the previous volume and needed to work through something？） The emotion's still present， but Jacob's no longer slouching in the corner and whining every other paragraph。 Instead， you finally get to delve further into the peculiar world and remember there IS a plot at hand。 Even with the combined weight of the looming American war and the pressure from the wights， you feel the glimmer of light brought through by the characters。 The quirks and personalities get back on track， and Noor slides into place like a puzzle piece you discovered dropped on the floor。 Mr。 Riggs's ability to seamlessly blend the photographs into the narrative remains nothing short of astounding。 My only complaint is the final chapter， where the blatant need to steer everyone into a particular place to accomplish the needed task felt forced - and wrong。 （view spoiler）[After EVERYTHING， how could Jacob and Noor blindly accept the postcard？ They chased it without a second thought， which came across as jarring and almost deus ex machina。 （hide spoiler）] Mr。 Riggs could have accomplished the same goal in a better way without losing the characters' integrity。 。。。more

The first novels in this series seamlessly blended the vintage， eerie photographs with a taut， well-paced plot and a diversely entertaining cast。 As the series progressed， it seems to me anyway， that the photographs became superfluous and the plot a bit plodding， while the main character became a one-note， one-dimensional bore。 Still an enjoyable read， but this one falls short of its potential。 I'm going to move on #6， because I've come this far， I hope it's a little better than #5。 The first novels in this series seamlessly blended the vintage， eerie photographs with a taut， well-paced plot and a diversely entertaining cast。 As the series progressed， it seems to me anyway， that the photographs became superfluous and the plot a bit plodding， while the main character became a one-note， one-dimensional bore。 Still an enjoyable read， but this one falls short of its potential。 I'm going to move on #6， because I've come this far， I hope it's a little better than #5。 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 I'm a big fan of this series。 Ransom Riggs' writing never fails to keep me on the edge of my seat。 While reading this， you feel like you're almost right there with Jacob and the rest of the kids， anticipating adventure just as much as they are。 However， I do have to say that I am not too fond of the romance between Noor and Jacob。 I think it was unnecessary， considering that there was so much else going on， yet their relationship was focused on in moments when it shouldn't have been。 I also real I'm a big fan of this series。 Ransom Riggs' writing never fails to keep me on the edge of my seat。 While reading this， you feel like you're almost right there with Jacob and the rest of the kids， anticipating adventure just as much as they are。 However， I do have to say that I am not too fond of the romance between Noor and Jacob。 I think it was unnecessary， considering that there was so much else going on， yet their relationship was focused on in moments when it shouldn't have been。 I also really don't know how to feel about the prophecy plot。 I understand that Noor needed to have some sort of purpose， but quite honestly， I think she is a bland character。 I don't know， maybe I just need more warming up to her。 I think her being party of the prophecy is better than Jacob being in it， though， since it would be extremely cliché if he were to be。 I think Jacob's character development has been good， too。 Though this book did kind of seem like a filler in the series， I'm okay with that。 Loved the cliffhanger at the end， too！ It's established great potential for the finale， and I am excited to read Desolation of Devil's Acre。 。。。more

Andrea Suchomelová ，

Bohužel musím říct， že tento díl mě opravdu zklamal。 Nejdřív jsem se nemohla začíst， potom mě kniha nudila a nakonec když už konečně byla nějaká akce， na kterou jsem celou dobu čekala， kniha skončila。 Doufejme tedy， že až vyjde další díl， bude to zase trochu lepší。

I really liked this one！ I was disappointed in the last one。 I do wish I had remembered more about it to help with this one but I managed。 It does have alot of damns and hells and more romance so probably not for tender younger readers。 Anxious for the next one。 This is one series that I have faithfully followed。 AR 5。3; 12 pts

The same old characters making the same old stupid mistakes again and again and again。。。。

Ben Nathan ，

Did I enjoy this？ Sure。 Was it necessary？ not at all。 There seemed to be a really interesting direction for this second trilogy talking about a whole new set of peculiar interactions and a whole new world maybe fighting for/against a prophecy。 Instead， we are getting a really lazy "bring back the big bad" trope。 It's fun， but kind of dumb。 I'll read the next one because maybe it'll make up for how listless this one felt。 Did I enjoy this？ Sure。 Was it necessary？ not at all。 There seemed to be a really interesting direction for this second trilogy talking about a whole new set of peculiar interactions and a whole new world maybe fighting for/against a prophecy。 Instead， we are getting a really lazy "bring back the big bad" trope。 It's fun， but kind of dumb。 I'll read the next one because maybe it'll make up for how listless this one felt。 。。。more

So enjoyed this book and thought it was the last 。 。 。 To my surprise there's a 6th book and I'm so excited it just came out a month ago。 I cannot wait to continue the story。 This has definitely caught me by surprise and been an amazing book series。 Hoping the last book is just as deep， detailed， and well thought of as the last books。 Loved the change of hearts， the new insights and more。 So enjoyed this book and thought it was the last 。 。 。 To my surprise there's a 6th book and I'm so excited it just came out a month ago。 I cannot wait to continue the story。 This has definitely caught me by surprise and been an amazing book series。 Hoping the last book is just as deep， detailed， and well thought of as the last books。 Loved the change of hearts， the new insights and more。 。。。more

An action filled continuation of the peculiar children， with a new addition。 Part catches up with the peculiars and even more dangerous enemies are rising putting their skills and knowledge to test。 And ends in a cliffhanger of course for follow up。Whilst I enjoy the curious tale and the pictures used in it， I also find it occasionally too unrealistic regarding how the children behave given the contrasting visual age and true age。

I really loved how fast paced this book was。 It seemed to fly by， and all of the plot events were quite interesting。 This book did seem kind of like a "filler" at some points， like a few of the scenes were just there in order to prep for book 6。 I did really like how more characters （such as Hugh） were getting involved rather than the usual 2-6 （such as Jacob and Emma）。 Peculiar America is really cool to read about， especially with the clans。 Something that I wish would happen would be for certa I really loved how fast paced this book was。 It seemed to fly by， and all of the plot events were quite interesting。 This book did seem kind of like a "filler" at some points， like a few of the scenes were just there in order to prep for book 6。 I did really like how more characters （such as Hugh） were getting involved rather than the usual 2-6 （such as Jacob and Emma）。 Peculiar America is really cool to read about， especially with the clans。 Something that I wish would happen would be for certain characters （ones that I will not say because ~spoilers~） had a love interest or another plot line connected to them。 I do really like the new characters that we've seen in this book and in the last one。 I will admit that I'm not a huge fan of Jacob， but I do like some of his reactions to certain scenarios。 Overall， I quite liked this book and I'm excited （and nervous） for the end of the series！ 。。。more

Mulle selle sarja eelmised raamatud meeldisid， aga i just couldn’t get into this one。 Ja ma ei tea， kas see oli selle pärast， et see raamat oligi halb või oli probleem selles， et ma ei mäleta absoluutselt， mis eelmises raamatus toimus。

Wow， I suddenly found out there happened to be a sixth book and I thought the 3rd one was the last。。。 So happy to be able to continue reading！ It stays compelling and captivating and very original！ Looking forward to the sixth one！

The story was interesting but kind of just felt like those filler episodes in a show where sure， you get some information but it's mostly just more path laying and then a cliff hanger。 The more of Jacob we get the less I like him unfortunately， while he's narrated as modest there's also an undercurrent of vanity in the way he speaks of himself in correlation with others。 I also think the sudden jump to a new girl that he hasn't really built anything other than some adrenaline rush moments with i The story was interesting but kind of just felt like those filler episodes in a show where sure， you get some information but it's mostly just more path laying and then a cliff hanger。 The more of Jacob we get the less I like him unfortunately， while he's narrated as modest there's also an undercurrent of vanity in the way he speaks of himself in correlation with others。 I also think the sudden jump to a new girl that he hasn't really built anything other than some adrenaline rush moments with is kind of ridiculous and unnecessary。 I didn't think he should be with Emma either but like be single for a minute child， damn。 。。。more

Chyba tylko i wylacznie z sentymentu daje tej książce 3 gwiazdki。 Zdecydowanie jestem już za stary na te powieść。 Historia Jacoba jest już wtórna。 Choć autor się stara to niczym nie zaskakuje。 Konferencja ptaków jest chyba najbardziej schematyczna książka z całej serii。 Gdy tylko na stronach pojawia się pewna postać lub wspominana jest pewna rzecz czytelnik już wie że "zwrot akcji" który autor szykuje już go nie zaskoczy。 Moim zdaniem historia mogła zakończyć się po 3 tomach。 A za granicą już je Chyba tylko i wylacznie z sentymentu daje tej książce 3 gwiazdki。 Zdecydowanie jestem już za stary na te powieść。 Historia Jacoba jest już wtórna。 Choć autor się stara to niczym nie zaskakuje。 Konferencja ptaków jest chyba najbardziej schematyczna książka z całej serii。 Gdy tylko na stronach pojawia się pewna postać lub wspominana jest pewna rzecz czytelnik już wie że "zwrot akcji" który autor szykuje już go nie zaskoczy。 Moim zdaniem historia mogła zakończyć się po 3 tomach。 A za granicą już jest tom 6。。。 Ogromna szkoda。 。。。more
