BOOK BLURB:Five hundred years into the third age of flight and mighty phraxships steam across the immensity of the Deepwoods, plying their lucrative trade between the three great cities. Nate Quarter, a young Lamplighter from the mines of the eastern woods is propelled on an epic journey of self-discovery that encompasses tournaments, battles, revolutions and a final encounter with the Immortals themselves. This is the final tale in the "Edge Chronicles" sequence and it's a fabulous climax to the most original and dramatic fantasy series being written today. Set years in the future, this book is ideal for new readers to discover the series before going back to read the 'history' of Twig, Rook and Quint. Packed with incredible illustrations from Chris Riddell, this is a wonderfully funny, moving and utterly inventive book.
REVIEW:
When this title landed I thought great as to be honest it gave me the chance to reread the previous novels by Stewart and Riddell to refamiliarize myself with the characters and places within the world. Its something I’ve been looking for an excuse to do for a little while and was something I was pleased I did as if you’re new to the world you really won’t get the full tale or references within.
The first thing I noted with this was how the authors had grown with their talents as they brought this the last tale in the series to date to the reader. Well written and a good solid adventure within this title really did live up to everything that I’d come to expect from these two after their previous novels. It was good fun, a much needed breath of fresh air and something of a guilty pleasure that allowed me to pig out on some serious young adult fantasy.
