By that, I mean accurately, as I know it can be done. I’d really like to think that this series is written so perfectly that it can be directly adapted into a movie or series if the creators were dedicated to doing it well. This, combined with Riggs’ photos really brought the entire story to life. Reading the graphic novel after having read and experienced the Hollow City novel was really fun as it enabled me to accurately visualise the characters, landmarks and scenery in my favourite graphic artist’s style. I knew this would be a quick read, even for my slow ass, but I didn’t think it would take me half an hour to complete! A quick read and a wonderful addition to my TBR. I finished A Map of Days (the second book on my TBR) and rewarded myself by reading Hollow City. If you haven’t seen my posts, I am participating in the O.W.Ls Magical Readathon which means my TBR is 3 books tall and totally achievable! REVIEW! Maybe you’d like to catch up before you read A Map of Days (also linked 🙂 I’ve linked that review if you want to read it. I assumed I had reviewed Hollow City on this blog, but turns out the only review of a novel in this series is Library of Souls. This is not a review of the Hollow City novel, rather a book-talk about the graphic novel as I had read Hollow City as a novel almost two years ago.

This is the graphic novel of the second book in Ransom Riggs’ Miss Peregrine’s series, illustrated by the amazingly talented Cassandra Jean. Cassandra Jean's evocative visuals once again work seamlessly with Hollow City's vintage photographs and Ransom Rigg's twisting fantasy narrative to make for a wholly immersive reading experience for fans of the original novels, fans graphic novels, and fans of reading great stories alike! But no matter where they go, trouble lurks after them. I’m not truly sure what it is about her art – could be it was the fact that she was the first art of the Shadowhunters I saw and thus the first to bring my favourite characters to life – but I am absolutely in love with it! Blub:Īfter fleeing an army of terrible monsters, Jacob Portman and his peculiar friends find themselves lost at sea, but the only person who might be able to get them ashore safely, their illustrious headmistress Miss Peregrine, is stuck in the form of a bird! Hoping to find a way to get Miss Peregrine back to normal-or as normal as a peculiar can get-the children journey to London. Both series have been illustrated by the wonderfully talented Cassandra Jean. Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children and anything Shadowhunters (as you may know), are two of my favourite series.
