Far over the Edge, the Mother Storm is brewing - a storm more terrifying than any seen in the lifetime of any Edgelander. Sweeping in from the open sky, it must strike the source of the Edgewater River to bring new energy to the land. But in its way is Sanctaphrax, a magnificent city built on a floating rock and tethered to the land by a massive chain.
Only one person can save the Edgelands from certain disaster: Twig, the young sky pirate captain who had dared to sail over the Edge but returned with his memory shattered and his crew flung far and wide. But to recover his memory and take action, Twig must first find his lost crew. And this means a journey back into the Deepwoods - and beyond.

"For some reason, this book did not captivate me as much as the first two. Twig (the main character) seemed slightly more arrogant in this book than in the past. I understand that he is now a more experienced character, and the innocence the reader fell in love with during the first books has faded. But I wish the author had watered down the know-it-all tone. Overall, I feel like the author made some bad choices on that aspect. However, my favorite part of the book came with the slave market. Very interesting part of the novel, and yet again, I was devastated at the loss of some characters that I had only known for a very short amount of time which, to me, always signals a good book." — Sarah (4 out of 5 stars)

" I chose this book because fantasy books can take uou away from normal, everyday life. This book is about Twig (a young sky pirate) who on a quest finds himself and his crew lost in the sky during a nightmare storm. From there he is thrown into the beyond the deepwoods and has to warn everybody about the coming storm. My favorite quote is when Twig shouts "Long life the new Sanctaphtax!" Twig meant that even though Sanctaphrax is for the wealthy and "up-tight" it changed. Paul and Chris's writing styles are very dull and simple. Midnight over Sanctaphrax is a great story if you have read all of the other books. I would reccommend this book to a fantasy loving reader. "
" I was reading this to my boys since I don't love this kind of book, but they do. We read for about 3 nights. I was finally getting into it, but my boys weren't really enjoying it. They have books they want to read on their own instead. The two oldest go down to their rooms and read until I make them turn off the light. They would read all night if I let them. Jaron also reads in his bed until I turn off the light. I'm so glad they love to read. I would hope that I am the one that instilled this in them. I love to read, especially in bed. "
" Another adventure in Twig's world of The Edge Chronicles. Twig finds himself searching through the Edge for his lost crewmates. Can he find them in time to save Sanctaphrax? A nice fast paced adventure young readers should enjoy. I still think this is a great series for young people who aren't sure if they really want to enjoy reading. This series will hook them! "
" These books got kind of gory and gross after a while. I was reading these with my children but we decided to stop. "
" This was as enjoyable as the second one. Paul Stewart is a great author, and Chris Riddell's pictures are great. "
" last of trilogy very good. "
" Great story, full of excitement and adventure. MUST read the other books! "
" A cracking ending to this trilogy. Highly recommended for a YA audience. "
" So not only do I want a banderbear for a friend but I also want a prowlgrin of my own. "
" I'm so glad there are 10+ in this series! "
" Excellent book so far! This is also a great series if you like to read children's series books. "
" Ooo... oh man, nicely ended and definitely not as predictable as one would expect. "
" I really liked this book, very awesome adventure story. I think it was a lot better than Harry Potter, because it sort of emulates real life with slums and criminals and so on and so forth. "
" I'm enjoying this series, fun fast read. "
" The conclusion of the first Edge triolgy. I enjoyed the tenacity and loyalty of Twig and his friends (crew). Enough adventure to keep you turning pages and enough warmth to make you glad you did. "
" this is when the books start to get really good! "
" Yeah!!! only ugh it seemed like sort of a mix between a sad and happy ending I can't decide!! "
" Still very imaginative,and funny at parts. "
" This book just didn't hold my interest. I don't care about the characters anymore. It is very unusual for me to not finish a fantasy novel, but I just kept thinking about all the other books I could be reading that I'd like better than this one.. "
" Ooh, this series is just getting better and better! The illustrations are just amazing, so detailed and vivid. And the characters are well though out, and creative and funky. It's just a bit dark, which I like. "
" i love twig and how courageous he was and is for his crew members. cant wait for number four.. . "
" This was an epic book and a great ending to Twig's portion of this series! "
" J'aime beaucoup ce monde fantaisiste. Les créatures sont fascinantes et tout est nommé avec style. "
" Good , Sad, Its the Last Twig Book in Edge Chronicles "
" The end was great but it took a while to get attached to any of the characters "
" Can't believe I lost this book. "
" This book is excellent. Paul Stewart takes is to a place where plants can kill you. there is an endless fall at the end of the cliff and there are all types of magic creatures, a human can be best friends with a bear and sky pirates roam the sky Above Sanctaphrax. "
