Close Kin is the second book in Clare B. Dunkle 's Hollow Kingdom trilogy. It takes place around five years after The Hollow Kingdom and follows Kate's younger sister Emily. Or at least it seems to. Where The Hollow Kingdom stuck pretty closely to Kate's story, Close Kin jumps around a fair bit, splitting its time three different ways as it traces the paths of Emily, her friend and would-be suitor Seylin, and an extremely unhappy elf named Sable. When Emily fails to take Seylin's romantic advances seriously, half goblin/half elf Seylin informs the Goblin King he is leaving to search out his other heritage and see if he can find any elves who managed to survive the last goblin harrowing. He does, in fact, come across a rather feral group of elves but, having suffered much in the name of mere survival, they are barely recognizable as the beautiful, carefree creatures Seylin dreamt of.

I have the same pic on my blog in my Twilight review...swweeeett!
ReplyDeleteIt's how I've always imagined Edward...sweet Edward...*sigh*
Dottie :)
Yeah, where did that Edward go?
ReplyDeleteI'm in 100 percent agreement. Fan art can be so cool...
ReplyDeleteI thought that was the official release pic?
ReplyDeleteI posted it on my blog as soon as I saw it:) Oh Edward....
I agree, I miss that Edward as well. I am curious to see how the movie of Breaking Dawn turns out though, the book was awful so I wonder if the movie will be as well?
ReplyDeleteMmmmmm...Edward. Pre-Breaking Dawn Edward, no less :)
ReplyDeleteLol. You guys are making me feel better. ;)
ReplyDeleteDottie, what can I say? It's just that kind of picture.
Jennie, I don't know. *sigh*
Camie, I love it. Seriously way better than the official Summit posters for TWILIGHT were.
Mandi, it looks very professional. Apparently it's fan made though.
Kath, I'm having trouble even imagining what that movie will be like. I just...haven't a clue how it could be good.
Allie, yup. Pretty swoon-worthy.
New Moon will always be my favorite. I hope Robert and Kristin do a good job transfering it to the big screen because I felt this was the one that held a lot of emotion.
ReplyDeleteHe just makes me giggle every time I see him.
ReplyDeletePrincess Allie, I loved NEW MOON as well. Haters to the left.
ReplyDeleteMartha, hehe. Well, you know him better than the rest of us what with all the unauthorized biographing...
That is one really hot picture!
ReplyDeleteSmokin'. In a cold, marbley way.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I think I'm the only one on the planet who doesn't find cold, marbley, bloodsucking Edward even remotely attractive.
ReplyDeleteAnon, don't feel alone! I definitely am put off by the cold surface with no give, etc descriptions. I probably mentally gloss over those in the text because I do like the guy. Or at least I like pre-BD Edward.
