Denne serien blir bare bedre og bedre! Bok tre framstår som skremmende aktuell når den tar opp både smittsom sykdom og karantene og politisk splittelse i befolkningen.

4.5 Det er mye jeg liker med Hollowpox og den ligger nok hakket bedre an enn andre bøker som jeg har gitt terningskast 4 til, men allikevel er det enkelte ting som drar ned scoren. Boken i seg selv er spennende, men har litt for mye felles med filmen Zootopia til å føles helt fersk ut. Allikevel er jeg spent på neste bok.

Prinsessen får gave fra bokbransjen H. K. H. prinsesse Ingrid Alexandra fylte 18. år 21.01.22 «Bokbransjen har gått sammen om å gi prinsessen en dannelsesgave. Og hva er vel mer dannende enn en bokpakke? I et videointervju i regi av NRK svarer prinsessen på spørsmål fra andre ungdommer. En av ungdommene spør hva prinsessens nyttårsforsetter er. Prinsessen svarer: Å lese mer bok og være mer aktiv. Bokpakken består av et utvalg av de siste års vinnere av Brageprisen, Kritikerprisen, Bokhandlerprisen, Bokhandelens sakprosapris, Vesaasprisen, Rosettaprisen, Bastianprisen, Uprisen, Årets tegneserie og Arbeiderlitteraturprisen» (bok365.no, 21.01.22)
