Our favorite little blue-haired girl gets to find out more about trolls than she bargained for in this delightful adventure that she shares with her mother. Terrific . . . as always!
(As an aside, I bought the hardcover version of this book. Had I known sooner the beautiful binding that the hardcover versions had, I would've bought them sooner. As it stood, I've gotta figure out what to do with the softcover versions of volume 1 - 5: whether to keep them or gift them.)In any case, this seemed like a very satisfying conclusion to what Luke Pearson had been teasing since the start of the series - that is, why there is much animosity between humans and trolls. I'm glad that I'v...
I love Hilda´s adventures so much! I tried reading it translated, but they did really bad job - so here we are, reading the original. Beautifully drawn, captivating story, all the stars from me. Thanks!
Hilda has been transformed into a changling troll, and a troll child has replaced her in the human city. While Hilda's mother searches for her daughter on the mountainside by day, Hilda is learning about the trolls' inner life underground in the caves. She befriends a mysterious troll who promises to turn her back into a human, if she completes three dangerous tasks. I love this fun graphic novel! The story is so imaginative, and the characters are compelling and emotional. I love the relationsh...
These get more emotional and nuanced with every book. I have so much love for this story.
For a lot of the book I wasn't sure if I liked it or not, it had great elements, the idea of changelings, treasure hoards, people who shoot first and question later, the politics of walls, that seemed all too disparate and disconnected, and then it clicked. The love of mothers, the care between parent and child, everything just worked and the balance between civilization and nature was found. And thankfully this volume did NOT end on a cliffhanger!
The last book was quite disappointing, but this ode to mothers wraps up the two-part story quite magnificently as Hilda works to return to her normal life after being kidnapped by trolls.I also recommend the Netflix series. Quite good.My tags: (view spoiler)[graphic novels, fiction, fantasy, trolls, mother and daughter, single mothers, single parents, changelings, kidnapping, hoards, hoarding, treasure hoards, collections, kings, mothers, prisoners, transformation, tweens, children, bells (hide
The cutest, as always
So very happy this is my hundredth book this year, and the one that wins my 2019 reading goal. I love you so much, Hilda <3
Note: I also wrote this review for the Manchester Public Library (CT) Goodreads account.At the time of my reading this, "Hilda and the Mountain King" is the last book in this series. I am a notorious series quitter (my track record for finishing entire series is pretty poor) but I went through this one very quickly and would easily pick up more if they were published. The characters are wonderful and the illustrations are beautiful and creative. A win all around.
After such a looooong wait for part two, I couldn't be more pleased with the resolution! The information revealed at the climax was totally unexpected and created quite a bit of drama and suspense, and it all resolved so beautifully. More of a focus on big events than relationships and characters (like the series usually is), but it's entirely appropriate here. My love for Hilda and her folks (human, animal, or magical) continues to grow.
After the cliffhanger ending of Hilda and the Stone Forest, fans had to endure a 3-year wait for this continuation. Not me though, because I only started this series earlier this year, ha ha suckers! That's what you get for reading current books! Mocking aside, it was worth the wait. Pearson continues to deliver charm, adventure, mystery, and terror to readers of all ages. This is the culmination of the entire series and... might be the last volume? It certainly could be, story-wise, although it...
What a satisfying ending to this wonderful series. I’m so excited to see whatever Luke works on next!
Well. Not much to say that can't spoil it but I love this series.
I pre-ordered this months ago after I read all the other Hilda books and was excited to see it arrive! Just as charming and lovely as the first 5, and I hope there will be many more. Not sure when exactly I read this, but it was early-ish in the year.

The 6th volume and this time tons of trolls, revelations, and a few moments that brought tears to my eyes.I read this one in Dutch, but wrote my review in English so more people can read it.I just LOVE the Hilda series. Well, OK, when I first started the series years ago I wasn’t such a big fan of Hilda. But now after re-reading the series again, watching the show on Netflix when it aired, and read the books that were made after that (which features some parts of the show/GNs but also have new m...
I love Hilda!
I think that was the best one! (But maybe the last too??? :( )
A great addition to the series and we finally get answers about Trollberg’s creation and other world building bits! Loved this expansion of the world.
