Hollow Kingdom

In this hilarious, "dazzling" romp, a foul-mouthed crow is humanity's only chance to survive a zombie apocalypse-think Watership Down meets Dawn of the Dead (Mona Awad, author of Bunny).

S.T. is a bird of simple pleasures: hanging out with his human owner, Big Jim, trading insults with Seattle's wild crows (i.e. ""those idiots""), and enjoying the finest food humankind has to offer: Cheetos (R). But when Big Jim's eyeball falls out of his head, S.T. starts to think something's not quite right.

With no choice but to abandon his old life and venture out into a frightening new world with his trusty steed Dennis (a loyal but dimwitted dog), S.T. discovers that the neighbors are devouring one other. Humanity's extinction has seemingly arrived, and the only one determined to save it is a cowardly crow whose only knowledge of the world comes from TV-What could possibly go wrong?

I loved the stroy premise of this book from just the summary and the story really held up to my expectations! The writing was a bit wordy at times but I fell in love with multiple characters through out. I laughed, I cried. Overall, great book!

Redeeming point is the characters, but some of the choices the author made, like the humans becoming zombies because of phones, felt a little patronizing. Good in the beginning, but once you get to the phones, you’ll feel yourself slipping.

Good at first, got mediocre, kind of hamfisted. I like the characters, but it got weird and unsatisfying in the end.

The end was honestly pretty redeeming considering I felt like most of the book (especially around 70-85% through) was a shit show. I was going to give it a 4, but tbh I’ve thought about this book and it’s characters a lot since finishing it, and I think that says something - enough something to bump it up to a 6
