Hmm. Well. Actually there's not much that can be said about this second book in the "Peculiar Children" series of adventures. From Miss Peregrine’s island, the rescue mission now takes the children to London. This entire book is all about the children running from one spot to another, away from hollows and wights, whilst meeting lots of other peculiar children along the way.
On the plus side we meet a few interesting peculiars gifted with everything from telekinesis to indestructibility. On the minus side however, it was just that one thing repeated over and over again throughout the book. (Also, for a rare - even dying - species, the peculiars were surprisingly abundant throughout London).
There was one twist in the tale towards the very end - but I honestly cannot say that that made up for the ordinary narrative that preceded it.
When all was said and done, I enjoyed "Tales of the Peculiar" (one of the books published in the Peculiardom) more, in fact, than the main story.
