Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Book three is likely the best of them all.This draws our adventure of the mysterious Hollow Kingdom to a satisfying close.The author seemed notably more comfortable with herself and the tales and maybe it was that the first two books gave her great practice to make a nearly faultless final adventure.
Following the death of Marak, Catspaw takes his place as king, preparing to marry Miranda, a human girl raised to be Catspaw's wife by Marak himself.But things quickly don't go as planned when elves return to the kingdom and an offer of an elvish bride pushes Catspaw to renig on his promise to Miranda.
Miranda flees the kingdom once she is aware that she's being set aside and all that she was raised to do was for naught.The tales takes a spinning trail through Miranda's plight as she leaves the goblins and finds the elves... or rather the elf lord finds her.Either way, this book certainly redeemed the whole saga with its climatic ending and surprising and pleasant twists.
Had the ending of this book not been so gratifying, it would have suffered a lower score.Readers may find Marak Catspaw and Nir the elf lord too irrational for their own good and that in itself causes much conflict between the two races.What also made this book enjoyable was the underlying hint of racism and prejudices.The elves think the goblins barbaric and vice versa.Both peoples saw themselves as the better race and saw all faults and weaknesses only in their enemy.
Five bright stars for closing the story of the Hollow Kingdom with a bang.Dunkle proved her mettle in this book and she may just find a niche as popular fantasy writer alongside Sharon Shinn and Robin McKinley.
