I've owned this book for years, and I finally got around to reading it on Sunday. Immediately upon opening it I realized exactly why it had taken me so long to even open it. It's slow, almost painfully so, with what felt like information. At some point it felt like the book was just listing facts, and if it hadn't been for the fact that I was travelling without any other form of entertainment, I probably would have given up on it. But I'm really glad I didn't. The worldbuilding is interesting, nothing I haven't read before but the book had a twist that I found myself really enjoying (that would be magic, in case anyone was wondering). So basically the world is ending and people are barely getting by, our main character is a special snowflake that is going to save the world (not that he knows this of course). So nothing new there. The supporting characters are really cool with laaayers so that's always a plus (also: bonus points for conflicting saviours). The Knight of the Word is on his way to help him because magic! Yeah, I’m not explaining this very well am I? As a person who has never read a book by Terry Brooks I didn’t have any expectations or any background story before reading this, so to say that it left me pleasantly surprised would be an understatement. It was a bit slow in the beginning but as soon as I got a hang of the worldbuilding I found myself immersed in the story and its characters. Basically: you should all go andd read this

I wanted to like this more than I did, which is not to say that I didn't thoroughly enjoy it. I did devour this is two days, after all. It's just... I think my expectations were too high. I kept looking for something more. Perhaps this 'more' will find its way into subsequent books, the release of which I eagerly anticipate. I think they worried that my grandfather would infect me with some incurable dreaminess from which I'd never recover - that these fantasies were somehow inoculating me against more practical ambitions - so one day my mother sat me down and explained that I couldn't become an explorer because everything in the world had already been discovered. I'd been born in the wrong century, and I felt cheated. Particularly around the beginning, I was definitely aware of the sort of haunted writing that also accompanies the author's charming documentary-style videos on YouTube. There's a great lilting quality to it. I don't hear that quality so much as the story progresses, but it could be an acclimation thing. And the photographs, of course, are a brilliant inclusion. Miss Peregrine felt a bit like a caricature, though the children - at once younger and older than expected - were all perfectly matched to their ripened wisdom and maturity in the confines of perpetual youth. However, I felt the protagonist, Jacob, wavered too much as I often had to remind myself that he was only 16 years old while other times he seemed almost tween-ish. Everything else in the story... hollows, wights, ymbrynes, loops scattered throughout time that remind me of a shifting apollonian gasket... I want more! It's a great start to a fun mythos that I can't wait to explore further. Prediction time! Jacob's dad, being an ornithologist, will be useful with the ymbrynes in future books. He may also find a subject for a book that he actually finishes, marketing it as fiction.
