I picked up The Hollow Kingdom from my library, it was one of the firsts to my many YA reads. This is the only book I've ever read about goblins. I really hope more authors will write about them. I've only had the LOTR goblins, from the movie, to fall back on. Although I didn't even pay attention to that movie and fell asleep halfway through it all the time....

Marak, the goblin king, I tend to see him handsome even though Clare has said he and the other goblins, except Seylin, resemble LOTR goblins in skin texture, etc.

I just really loved this book! The characters were easily loved. I hoped after the third book Clare might go on and do more stories involving the goblin world. I have not yet found any books resembling this.

The marriage ritual, Charm, and the talking door were very interesting, the painting buckets also. If I keep writing what I liked about this book I'd just be telling you the whole story! It's a must read!
