Background
I had a stroke of genius while at my parents’ house over the holidays: why not try to use my old New York Public Library card and access their collection of eBooks? Such a good idea, made better by the fact that they had the third book of the Peculiar Children series, Library of Souls, available! Oh, how I’ve waited for this day.
Even better (if that’s possible): I downloaded this book the day before I was traveling back to Guatemala (yesterday), meaning that I had all day to read. And read I did.
Overview
I really do not want to give anything away, so I’ll be extra cautious. Promise.
Basically, the story picks up right where it left off: Jacob and Emma have temporarily escaped their peril, but their friends were not so lucky. Jacob discovers (and hones) a new ability as the heroes do their best to find and save their friends.
And that’s all I will say.
Favorite Quotes
“The present seemed suddenly strange to me, so trivial and distracted. I felt like one of those mythical heroes who fights his way back from the underworld only to realize that the world above is every bit as damned as the one below.”
“Why did we have more than we knew what to do with, while they had less than they needed to stay alive?”

Holy smokes, I love this trilogy! Seriously. It is so good. No bullet-point list; if you’re into YA fantasy lit, check it out. You won’t be able to put them down.
