Hollow Kingdom audiobook – Hollow Kingdom, Book 1

In the midst of a sunny afternoon, lounging in my backyard hammock with a gentle breeze rustling the leaves, I found myself completely captivated by the world of Hollow Kingdom audiobook by Kira Jane Buxton. This unique tale takes us into the mind of S.T., a crow with an extraordinary personality and perspective on life.

Buxton’s expert storytelling delves deep into the intricacies of a crow’s existence, presenting a character that is more human-like than one would expect. S.T. views his fellow crows as inferior beings, showcasing his superior intellect through witty remarks and mocking gestures. It’s fascinating to see how Buxton weaves together elements of humanity and bird-like qualities to create such a complex and relatable protagonist.

When S.T.’s beloved owner, Big Jim, unexpectedly passes away, the crow is left to navigate the unfamiliar human world on his own. The stark reality he encounters is far from what he had imagined based on television portrayals. Society reveals itself to be hollow and empty, forcing S.T. to adapt and survive in this new environment.

Narrated by Robert Petkoff, Hollow Kingdom audiobook brings this extraordinary character to life in an exceptional way. Petkoff’s portrayal of S.T.’s thoughts and emotions adds depth and authenticity to the story. His narration seamlessly guides listeners through this gloomy yet captivating journey.

With just a few minor interruptions along the way, Buxton’s storytelling remains engaging from start to finish. Hollow Kingdom is a truly remarkable work that pushes boundaries and challenges preconceived notions about animals’ perspectives on our world.
