The fate of peculiardom hangs in the balance in this epic conclusion to the #1 bestselling Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children series.

The last thing Jacob Portman saw before the world went dark was a terrible, familiar face.

Suddenly, he and Noor are back in the place where everything began - his grandfather's house. Jacob doesn't know how they escaped from V's loop to find themselves in Florida. But he does know one thing for certain: Caul has returned.

After a narrow getaway from a blood-thirsty hollow, Jacob and Noor reunite with Miss Peregrine and the peculiar children in Devil's Acre. The Acre is being plagued by desolations - weather fronts of ash and blood and bone - a terrible portent of Caul's amassing army.

Risen from the Library of Souls and more powerful than ever, Caul and his apocalyptic agenda seem unstoppable. Only one hope remains - deliver Noor to the meeting place of the seven prophesied ones. If they can decipher its secret location.

Jacob and his friends will face deadly enemies and race through history's most dangerous loops in this thrilling page-turner, the final adventure in the beloved Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children series.

Ransom Riggs was born on a farm in Maryland and grew up in Florida, but now makes his home in the land of peculiar children: Southern California, where he lives with his wife, bestselling author Tahereh Mafi. Ransom was raised on a steady diet of ghost stories and British comedy, which probably explains the novels he writes. He’s the author of the #1 bestselling Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children series, the first of which was adapted into a major motion picture from 20th Century Fox, directed by Tim Burton.

6th and just as good as the other 5. Suspenseful at every page. Hard book to put down. You won't be disappointed.

There is nothing worse than seeing the words “epic conclusion” on a series that is this good. I wish it wouldn’t end.
Jacob and Noor end up back at his grandfather’s house after the events at the end of the last book. I love how each of these books starts up right where the other left off. The continuation is refreshing and there is no need for the author to refresh minds. Caul has returned and has created a whole new breed of hollows that Jacob is unable to control. When Jacob and Noor reunite with Miss Peregrine and the rest of their friends in Devil’s Acre they find that Caul has released desolations over the area and show everyone how strong he has become. The main journey in the book is the trip made to a collapsed loop so that Noor can join the other light-eaters. The prophecy states that they will end Caul’s terror. There are many obstacles that they must overcome and many disappointments. The new peculiar characters throughout the book are an interesting bunch with unique talents. Many that have not yet been mentioned.
This book is full of fabulous pictures that the author has once again done a brilliant job incorporating into the story. It also has humor, surprises, shocks (both sad and happy), and disappointments. It’s one big rollercoaster ride that brings the reader to the end too quickly. The final battle is quick and action packed. It really keeps the reader’s attention. The ending is the best. Miss Peregrine’s surprise for her children is heartfelt and a bit of a tearjerker. It brought everything full circle for the reader and there are no loose ends. All in all: a great series.

By far, Ransom Riggs' best piece of work, and none of his others were at all shabby. He is an amazing author with incredible imagination but obviously researches extensively. He'll keep you guessing and on the edge of your seat until the very end. His use of imagery is extraordinary! I was a little disappointed that the disposition of two of the characters was left in the lurch, but the book was so good that I could forgive him. I could sort of guess what happened to them, anyway; it just wasn't spelled out like it was for the other characters. I'm so sad that this is the last book in the series. This is a series for every fantasy/mystery fan out there! Well, not really "fantasy" in the usual sense' but more of "imaginary". I sincerely hope that he's working on something else.

Ransom Riggs has pulled off...

Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2021

Ransom Riggs has pulled off one of the most satisfying conclusions to a series, that I have read in a long while. With this review there may be slight spoilers. I'm also not going to make it to long. I know going into finales we are all nervous about the outcome. Where will characters end up? Who will survive? Who won't?

Now going into this second trilogy conclusion, I have all those questions running through my head, but I also know with YA most, if not all the characters will survive. I like to see loss in my stories because it makes it more believable. Now was there loss, yes, but nothing that really hit the spot. This finale, for me, just suffered for being a tad to long. I feel like we could have cut some parts of this down just a tad and not lose the meaningful bits.

Desolations provided readers with great character moments, fantastic action, a conclusion worthy of fans who have been with the series since the beginning. Ransom Riggs journey with the peculiars has finally come to an end and I for one have enjoyed my time with these characters and this world.

An exultant, exhausting, impressive 500-page finale to this ten-year serial novel.

Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2021

Riggs wraps up his multi-part series with an exultant, exhausting, impressive 500-page finale. On the heels of the Harry Potter books, Riggs has crafted an updated take on serial literature. More than any of the earlier books, reading Desolations feels as if one is reading installments, as was prevalent in the 19th century English and American literature. (Not forgetting Russian literature’s Tolstoy and Dostoevsky.) Over a ten-year period we have learned about the world of peculiars, Miss Peregrine and her ymbrene sisters, and Jacob Portman and his very peculiar friends, all of whom have amazing talents. In a book of this length, it is impossible to describe all the action, but to summarize: Miss Peregrine’s evil brother Caul has come back from the near-dead and is terrorizing the entire peculiar world in an attempt to obliterate them all. And he does a smashing good job of it. My only complaints are to the publisher: a cast of characters and their abilities would be helpful in a reissue, as well as a foreward that summarizes the overall action, but in particular a more detailed summary of what was happening when book #5 ended. There are many references, but out of context, they are not helpful.

Solid series. I wrote reviews on other books within the series and this is pretty consistent quality with the other books. If you're liking the series, it's worth it to go through all of them.

I received the book exactly as the photos. The sleeve has slid off partially corners have been folded, scratches on the front, and there's a page that has its edge folded.

Item returned, I'm hoping the replacement is in a brand new condition, since that's what I'm paying for.

Edit to 5 stars: they replaced it with one in a good condition.

I read all the books of Miss Peregrine's and I enjoyed it so much. But this one wasn't as good as the previous one. I find it a bit long and some part not interesting enough. However it was worth reading it to wrap the end of the story. The book also arrived perfectly fine in a good condition.
