Edge Chronicles 3: Midnight Over Sanctaphrax (The Edge Chronicles)

This is such a wonderfully written, and beautifully illustrated book that even playful adults will love it.Indeed, it may take the the experiences of many lived years to truly appreciate what Twig endures.A great story.

Great series! Wont post any spoilers will simply say this is a great starter series of books to get kids into reading.

A MUST HAVE FOR YOUR COLLECTION

Book came in GREAT condition

As I said when I reviewed the first 2 of this series, they are excellent books. I love reading them even though I can't stand reading in general.

it is a wonderful bedtime story. It is action and adventure just how I like it. I hope you like it.

Would you like to go on an action-packed adventure on a flying ship that is sailing into a storm and possibly over the edge of existance? Then this book is for you.Harry Potter aside, I've never read a fantasy novel more original. The first three installments of these series will have you hooked. You won't be able to put the books down.In the first installment, Twig is a young boy raised by a woodtroll clan who gets lost in the dangerous Deep Woods and goes on a topsy-turvy adventure you won't want to miss. Man-eating trees, wild wolves, giant insects, gloamglozers -- who would want to miss that?The second and third installments are twice the fun and we leave Captain Twig at the height of his grandest adventure. But the magic stops here. Be warned, folks. As the books continue on, they get less and less orginal and the stories are not at all as marvelous as they started out. They become repetitive and watered-down. To tell the absolute truth, the series should have stopped after this one. It would have been fine the way it was.But don't miss the first three installments. You'll love them if you love adventure.

I should say that I'm a little (?) older than most readers, but just as captivated by this fabulous writer. I'm not in the target audience, being 58 years old, but I and my granddaughters (9&6) LOVED this book!The 3rd book in the series is the fattest one yet, maybe getting just a little too big for the younger reader... But anyone hooked on the previous two books will not care - they will only wish it were even longer!Read the prequel to learn more about Cloud Wolf.Paul Stewart's imagination is unleashed in this episode - there are more strange creatures, people and beasts than ever - and Chris Riddell's illustrations get better & better - I WISH I could draw like that!I can't wait for the next volume ...
