Our view
“Hollow City” turns the Miss Peregrine story into a dark journey on the run, and it leans entirely on the first book. It begins right where that one stops, as Jacob and the other children make for London, and the quest, with its time travel and wartime setting, keeps the mood tense. Some readers find stretches of it slower than the opener, and it stops on a cliffhanger: a middle volume in every sense.
