Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Misty

For thousands of years, young women have been vanishing from Hallow
Hill, never to be seen again. Now Kate and Emily have moved there with
no idea of the land's dreadful heritage - until Marak decides to tell
them himself. Marak is a powerful magician who claims to be the goblin
king, and he has very specific plans for the two new girls who have
trespassed into his kingdom . . .
So begins the award-winning Hollow Kingdom Trilogy.
I actually would rate this book a 3.5, but I was feeling generous, so I
rounded up. It is a neat little book, good for those who like fantasy,
paranormal romance,etc., but it has its flaws, the biggest (for me)
being that the ending felt very abrupt, and some things were just too
obvious. But it is YA, so maybe to a 14 yr old, they wouldnt be so
obvious. Nothing to write home about, but a nice light read
nonetheless.  It was good enough that I want to read the rest in the serious, and I cared what happened -- but I was never blown away.  Enjoyable, not wowing.
