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 . . . The Hollow Kingdom is a 2004 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year. Review: Review - I absolutely love this book. This was one of my favorite books as a child, and it was an absolute pleasure to read it again. The Hollow Kingdom is about a girl named Kate who, newly orphaned along with her sister, Emily, travels to Hallow Hill to live with her new guardians. Enchanted by her mysterious surroundings, Kate enjoys her new life until she starts to have the reoccurring feeling that she's being watched. Soon Kate discovers that her secret admirer is none other than the Goblin King. A battle of wits ensues as Kate desperately tries to avoid being stolen away to become a goblin bride. The book is definitely darker now that I read it as an adult, especially the fact that Kate is often made powerless. Whether its the king of the goblins or her guardians, Kate has difficulties getting other characters to listen to what she has to say. Often, they discredit her words and ignore her wishes for their own personal ideas. However, I was willing to forgive this substantial flaw because Kate is a really strong heroine. Even though the people around her ignore her, Kate never stops fighting for what she wants. Even when she loses a battle, she does so on her own terms. Despite ignoring her wishes at the beginning, towards the end all the characters grow to respect her and to realize the mistake they made by underestimating her. What really keeps calling me back to this book however, is the world building. I absolutely love the goblin kingdom and I think it's one of the most unique and interesting fantasy worlds that I've ever read. I am most impressed by the diversity of the goblins. Dunkle isn't scared of putting off the readers by making her mythical creatures horrifying. In fact, Marak, the male protagonist, is absolutely grotesque. Through this choice, she illustrates a world in which beauty is not important and the most important thing to a race of people is strength and community. So, although some people may apply the same arguments against Beauty and the Beast to The Hollow Kingdom, I feel that the good points of this book outweigh the bad. The writing is well done and the world building is wonderful. Kate's and Marak's relationship may stem from a terrible tradition, but it resolves itself into one of mutual respect. Review: Great book - This is a great book. I bought the entire series (Trilogy) for my daughter for her birthday. Has Goblins, fairies, humans and magic. Told from the perspective of the goblins. Really, really liked it. Another good author(s) are Michael Wisehart and Jonathan Renshaw. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,065,954 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,212 in Teen & Young Adult Fiction on Girls' & Women's Issues (Books) #1,826 in Teen & Young Adult Coming of Age Fantasy | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 448 Reviews | ## Images ![The Hollow Kingdom: Book I -- The Hollow Kingdom Trilogy - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71WN4B7GxwL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by L***S on May 10, 2017* I absolutely love this book.

I bought the entire series (Trilogy) for my daughter for her birthday. Has Goblins, fairies, humans and magic. Told from the perspective of the goblins. Really, really liked it. Another good author(s) are Michael Wisehart and Jonathan Renshaw. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Great Tale worth it's telling *by H***3 on February 1, 2006* This first book in a trilogy sets a great beginning for what is to come next. If previous reviews to the following sequels to the series are remotely true, then I can't wait to find out about more of Marak, Kate, Catspaw and Seylin. Dunkle's writing is clear and easy to decipher - unlike many authors who sometimes bog down stories with too much minute detail. But this also is a double-edged sword for there were times I wished for more details in this tale, especially toward the end of the book. This was a great quick read that I gobbled up hours of having it shipped to me, but I wish I was able to know if Marak and Kate really loved each other. Actions said it and actions speak louder than words, but there's also something definitive in actually saying the words. I'm a big romantic and maybe because of that I wanted there to be more proof of Kate's affection for her husband and more details of their personal life. On top of that, I wish it could have been more clear on how goblins age. Marak seemed to be much older than Kate and if so then how much older? That's more curiosity than anything else, though and has little in weighing my decision on it rating. In all, I liked this book and I plan on getting the following two as soon as I'm able. I hope that in the following books that the details I wanted so badly will be hit upon in the next books but we'll see. I recommend this book for teenagers anywhere from 12-18. It's a good, clean read and full of fantastic characters and the promise of more for future. Other recommendations: The Once Upon A Time series by collective authors; Donna Jo Napoli; for more mature audiences I recommend Susan Carroll's books and Robin McKinley's Deerskin. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/56015164-the-hollow-kingdom-book-i-the-hollow-kingdom-trilogy](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/56015164-the-hollow-kingdom-book-i-the-hollow-kingdom-trilogy) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-06-04*
