Publisher Description

Step to the Edge and enter a thrilling new fantasy series filled with amazing characters and unimaginable adventures–and see for yourself what lies beyond! Far, far away, jutting out into the emptiness beyond, lies the Edge. Both the land and the air are filled with strange peoples and terrifying creatures; action–and danger–await at every turn. On board the famous sky ship Stormchaser, Twig eagerly looks forward to the adventure and excitement that lie ahead in his new life as a sky pirate. The crew’s quest: to collect stormphrax–the precious substance created at the heart of a Storm the very moment it unleashes its most intense power. Only a sky ship as powerful as the Stormchaser, piloted by a man as brave and fearless as Cloud Wolf, could risk entering such a storm. . . .

"Let's see... Its been a few years since I've read this book. So... Twig finally joins his father Quintus on the Stormchaser and he meets tons of other awesome characters. They are on a quest to find The Great Storm that will bring Stormphrax to the Academy so that it will stay a float and not let go of the anchor chain. So this is a daring quest and an adventurous book with a few mistakes made along the way. As you can see I can't remember much from this book but I can remember the first book and the last book of Twig's trilogy much better. I don't know why this one isn't as memorable as the other ones but it's still good."

Quotes

  • “The narrative will cast a spell over readers from the beginning with its utterly odd, off-kilter sense of logic and a vocabulary that is equal parts Dr. Seuss and Lewis Carroll.”

    " The story format was different, was quite a bit darker than the 1st in the series and had some politics that were hard for my 10 year old to understand. Still very intriguing with fascinating pictures. Think we will wait to read the 3rd. "

    " The second of the Edge Chronicles was better than the first, though probably for a slightly older audience (it's a little gorier and darker than the first book) but the I love how it's developed on the solid foundation of the first volume. For this reason i've left it firmly in the YA category and didn't think i'd consider it a "childrens" book. "

    " Definitely better the second time around. My favorite part is still when Twig comes into his own near the end of the book. I found it slightly far-fetched that after two years on a sky pirate ship, that Cloud Wolf taught Twig to fly, regardless of over-favoritism or not. In the beginning, Twig reminded me a lot of what he was like in the first book, and I found it comforting to see him with a home, and not so lost by the end. "

  • Overall Performance: 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5

    " More enjoyable than the first in the series because Twig develops a backbone and finally things start going well, but I found the transformation a little abrupt (tho not difficult to believe). As with the first, when characters die, they just die, and sometimes it is gruesome. "

    " Though I enjoyed the first book in this series, this one was definitely an improvement. The plot was more coherent, and read more like a novel than a series of events. Though I have to admit, I was rather surprised by the sheer amount of death -- of both good guys and bad guys -- in a YA book! "
