Review: Hollow Kingdom

Hollow Kingdom by Kira Jane Buxton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I kept wanting to read it aloud just so that I could do all the voices.

ST (for "Shit Turd") is a crow who thinks he's human. At least, in his soul. He was adopted by a redneck (Big Jim) who has now, unfortunately, become a zombie. The world is adjusting, and the humans are changing. Can ST find his place in this new world?

I found this story poignant at times, funny always, and ultimately it left me wanting more. The crow is essentially embarking on a classic hero's journey, and along the way we get to glimpse how a few other animals, scattered around the globe, react to change in the world.

Can't wait to read the sequel.
