-
Bookpage - Starred Review - "It doesn’t get any weirder, funnier or better than Hollow Kingdom."​
-
The Nerd Daily - 10/10 - "It’s a magnum opus on environmental degradation, an expose on the impact of technological dependency, and—above all else—a testament to the bizarre and indelicate beauty of rewilding."​
-
WPL's More Books Please! - Crowing About Hollow Kingdom - "From the first chapter I knew that it was a book for everyone. Everyone! ... It’s an unforgettable book about the end of world as we know it and you really should read it – Cheetos optional."
-
Morning Star - "Funny and sad, Buxton’s fable is also full of purpose and meaning, and ultimately hopeful."​
-
SciFiNow UK Magazine (October Issue) - 5/5 - "Part ecological fable and part adventure story, but it’s all very good"
-
Daily Express UK Magazine. - "A wholesome and humorous tale of unlikely heroism"
