Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children certainly wasn't slow for long. After a while everything started moving considerably quicker and now the characters are being portrayed more as themselves and not just their as their abilities. The peculiars are all getting their own personalities and I can see the relationships forming between them and Jacob. Jacob's bond with Emma is certainly getting stronger and I'm all for it. He seems to really be hitting it off with the pyrokinetic girl who also had a relationship with Jacob's grandfather.
The fact that this is the same girl that his grandfather had a relationship with in the 1940's seems odd and messed up but time doesn't work the same way for these peculiars, so her and Jacob are actually the same age. Though you can tell Emma still cares about Jacob's grandfather, she is really taking a liking to Jacob. I really like them together because she's very strong and Jacob needs strength right now with everything he's going through, so they can lean on each other. I'm also kind of worried about this pairing because Jacob will eventually have to go back to America and what will they do when they part? Emma can't go with him because she is still living in the 1940's and if she leaves that time she will die in hours. But if Jacob stays with her he will be stuck in the 40's and have to leave behind his modern life. Either way, Ransom Riggs has made this tricky and I also don't know what will become of the other children. Will they live on the island on the same day on repeat forever or can they break the loop without dying?
I've always wanted to read this book! I need to get on that.
