5.0

I loved the main character's voice in this. Between shifting from domestic life to wild, balancing curiosity with self-preservation, and challenging his own biases, ST shows us this scary world in a determined and hopeful light. 

I've always loved animals, with crows topping the list. If you feel at all similar then I highly recommend this book! It brought me to tears at moments and it made me laugh a bit too (two of my favorite things for a book to do to me!) I felt it to be fast-paced, with enough descriptors to make vibrant images without bogging down the narrative.

I found out about this book by seeing the sequel in-adore which I almost bought instantly before realizing it wasn't a stand alone. After enjoying Hollow Kingdom so much, I'll definitely go back for that next book!
