I love this book so much than the first one. It's more adventuresome feeling, loads of interesting facts about the Peculiar world; engaging characters, and it's pretty funny too. There's something in Jacob's voice that could make me laughed whenever he tried to describe all the things that he saw. 
 Truly an Oscar-worthy performance. 
 The only problem I have with this book is that there's no chemistry between Jacob and Emma. I can't feel it whatsoever. I assumed it was quite rushed, and I'm not able to see their relationship strengthen to the point that I think they are quite ready to express their feeling toward each other. 
 I hope the next book are more about Jacob and Emma since the book ended with just the two of them.
