This book(second in the Edge chronicals series) is an excellent way to succed the first one and developing the plot into more of a definet quest instead of pointless wandering. You can really see Twig( main charector) develop in this book as he goes from a lowly woodtroll to a brave skypirate

seving under his captain and Dad, Cloudwolf,(also know as Quint).

This sequel to Beyond the Deepwoods is amazing & suspenceful,but a little predictable. Even though it was great with a few twists in the end.Can't wait to read next one, Midnight over Saxtapharax.

I like that there weren't the typical LOTR troll and elf fantasy archetypes, but a variation unto themselves. The nine year old me would love to tromp through the deepwoods, pirate with Twig, and battle Screed for his Looty-Booty.

Not a bad book much better than the first one in this series.

If you like a book with lot's of action than you need to pick this book a story about family who's life is in trouble and might be in trouble to survive or die.

(For the whole series): I blasted through all of these the first time I read them. Stewart and Riddell created an amazing world, where rocks float and there are a bunch of different humanoid beings running around, each with their own outlook on life and way of living. You can read them in published

order or reorganize them into internal chronological order, as some of the characters turn out to be the grandparents of other characters. Either way, a good rollicking read with characters you might actually care about. The pen-and-ink illustrations top it off – interesting, complex, and perfect for the story.

I was really feeling this volume, much more so than the first. The illustrations are amazing, and the story was gripping and even though there were a whole bunch of tangent stories stuck in there, and they were a little distracting, everything came together in the end, and the strong central plot

really pulled me through. The imagination is also fabulous, things like things we know, but different. And that whole idea of a garden where rocks break through the earth and then float off into the sky is incredible. And that's just one of the clever inventions in this series.

Probably one of my favorite fantasy adventures. The Edge world is incredibly original, detailed, and endless. Twig is a great hero with great growth. I also love the Stone Pilot, though he was honestly cooler before we found out who he really is. I love ALL the characters in this book, and the fact

that so many of them end up dead just about brings me to tears.

The plot is awesome too. Political intrigue, daring quests, psychotic madmen, beguiling forests... This book has just about everything a fantasy adventure nut could ask for. Not to mention the superb art.
