Bookpage - Starred Review - "It doesn’t get any weirder, funnier or better than Hollow Kingdom."​

-
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."​
-
