Hollow Kingdom

Hollow Kingdom


by Kira Jane Buxton


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5


I don’t Usually stray from reading romance, but when I do I feel like I go pretty far! Kira Jane Buxton’s vision of a post apocalypse future really shook me.


In this anti future, the human race is stuck down by a cancer-line disease that’s turning them into blood hungry monsters in need of a tech fix! Left to their own devises, nature, the animals and plants gang together to survive in this new world without people.


This adventure is told from the point of view of ST, short for Shirt Turd, a plucky, wise cracking domestic crow that identifies more as a person than crow. He is assisting by his speechless companion Dennis the family bloodhound as they go about their mission trying to rescue the other domestics that have been loved indoors after their owners perished.


This story made me laugh (ST’s sarcasm is awesome), think and cry. I haven’t read a book that made me appreciate the human condition so much. If you’re interested in a fun and thought provoking look at humanity, these animals deliver!


I’m excited for the follow up, Feral Creatures being released later this month!



Hollow Kingdom by Kira Jane Buxton was originally released in August, 2019.



Thanks so much to Grand Central Publishing for gifting me with my review copy. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
