Tried my hand at some of the Close Kin goblins and elves (and human)

Okay so does anyone else have that one book series that they’ve loved for years and have been waiting to find someone who has also read it so they can fangirl together but NO ONE knows about it???

Totally unrelated; has anyone here read the Hollow Kingdom Trilogy by Clare B. Dunkle?

Catspaw was becoming a real goblin king.

Clare B. Dunkle, from Close Kin

I read the story of Lim & Marak Blackwing. I already liked the little of their story that was mentioned in Close Kin, but the full thing was just so good 😩 My favorite thing about Clare B. Dunkle's worldbuilding is that when she expands on the tales of previous King's Wives (both goblin and elf), the stories are always tragedies or heroic acts of sacrifices, never romances. Lim's story is a bit of both, a little similar to Kate's in that regard, which is what made quite compelling to me. The two are an interesting pair for how much discomfort and pity they inspired in me during the story lol.

Things I Say While Reading Close Kin by Clare B. Dunkle

There’s a bunch of dicks in this book. Not penis dicks. Asshole dicks.

Wait. That doesn’t sound any better.

Jerk dicks.

Nope. Still sounds dirty. I’m just going to give up now.
