The Second-to-Last Point Is a Spoiler

Impressions I'm Left With:
- Addison seemed alright, if somewhat holier-than-thou in some instances.
- The exploration of Jacob's power seemed like one of those "let's save it til the end of the season because it's cool" things.
- The majority of the book spent it's time in the "we have 22 episodes to fill but not enough actual things to create episodes for" land.
- I cannot for the life of me keep Millard and Hugh straight in my head. They seem to have blended into one character... except when Hugh saved the day that one time.
- There were just too many characters to keep track of at any given time.
- Miss Peregrine's brother is too chatty for his own good and it took them entirely too long to decide to get him some clothes. That whole scene was just... not very good and too banter-y
- Harry Potter did the road-trip/camping book a lot better.
And those are my thoughts on Hollow City.
