The Edge Chronicles	comment	The Edge Chronicles is a middle grade series written by Paul Stewart and illustrated by Chris Riddell. Surprisingly dark and cynical for its target audience, the novels take place on the Edge, as in the edge of the world. The series is filled with sky pirates, bizarre wildlife, and a notable aversion of many stock fantasy tropes.It should be noted that this series has some of the most detailed and beautiful art you will see in any novel, anywhere. Also some of the ugliest, also some of the scariest.It consists of trilogies (each centered around a certain character) and some additional novels and side-stories.The first trilogy stars Twig. Beyond the Deepwoods (1998) Stormchaser (1999) Midnight over Sanctaphrax (2000)The second centers on Rook Barkwater. The Last of the Sky Pirates (2002) Vox (2003) Freeglader (2004)The third (prequel) trilogy stars Quint. The Curse of the Gloamglozer (2001) The Winter Knights (2005) Clash of the Sky Galleons (2006)Next up in the main series is The Immortals (2009), a novel set about 500 years after Freeglader which wraps up the first three trilogies. A fourth trilogy takes place after The Immortals and stars a lad named Cade. The Nameless One (2014) Doombringer (2015) The Descenders (2019)Supplementary books and material include: The Edge Chronicles Maps (2004) The Lost Barkscrolls (2006), a short story collection. "Weird New Worlds" (2009-11), a story in blog form which takes place after The Immortals. The Sky Chart: A Book of Quint (2014), taking place after the Quint trilogy.

The Edge Chronicles / int_14beeefd	type	Darker and Edgier
The Edge Chronicles / int_14beeefd	comment	Darker and Edgier: The series itself is much harsher than the majority of childrens' literature. Plot Armor is averted for secondary characters, death is sudden and can come at any moment, prejudice, racism, and xenophobia persist across all races, Gray-and-Gray Morality abounds, and even the kindest characters cannot be pacifists and must kill to survive. You'll notice this if you read in publication order. The Twig books are dark enough, with serial murders, slavery, and an apocalyptic threat that can only be averted by destroying an entire city. But then the Second Age (Rook Trilogy) massively dials up the scale of suffering, especially Vox, which may hold the record for the highest body count of any single installment in a middle-grade fantasy. Stories set in this period are full of moments where children and adults alike fight on the frontlines, violence is very heavily described and occasionally illustrated, with anti-capitalist themes and classism in full force.

Unfortunately, his quest for vengeance in Clash of the Sky Galleons drives him to endanger himself, his crew and his son. Once Quint himself reunites with his own son, Twig, he's torn between a father's unconditional love and his desire to prevent his enemies from using Twig against him. This leads him to be far stricter and more short-tempered with Twig than necessary. Twig cared for his daughter but his Survivor's Guilt over not honoring his promise to Maugin and the feeling that all his crewmates died for no reason leaves him to leave her with the idea that he'll come back.

The Edge Chronicles / int_21d70919	comment	Crapsack World: Welcome to the Edge! You can live in the Deepwoods, a Death World full of Everything Trying to Kill You, or cross the Twilight Woods and the Mire to the Wretched Hive of Undertown, where slavery is only technically illegal, and openly practiced outside of it. Trade can only be accomplished through over-priced deals with corrupt Leaguesman ships, or bardered with by Sky Pirates, who have fifty-fifty odds of dealing fairly, or ambushing your community for slave labor and supplies. If you're lucky enough to make the cut as a Sanctaphrax academic, enjoy working at a university where Chronic Backstabbing Disorder appears to be a minimum job requirement, while a skism between Earth and Sky Schollars threatens to boil into cival war, and has done so already. Things only go From Bad to Worse by the Second Age, when Stone Sickness makes any large ships impossible to fly, Sanctaphrax, the greatest source of knowledge in the Edge is lost to Open Sky, the Earth Schollars have fled into hiding in Undertown for their survival, the Sky Schollars have become radicalized into a cult that will do anything to bring a Great Storm back, while the shryke and gobblin nations have arisen to enslave many of the free peoples of the Deepwoods. Then a Fantastic Nuke destroys Undertown... Things are much better by the Third Age, where the Edge seems to finally be developing a comfortable middle class, but you've still got two of the three cities run by dictators and the other by a greedy merchant oligarchy, slavery is still practiced in shady corners away from civilization, the phrax mines are harsh and lead to debilitating sickness, gangs of thugs and spies loyal to Quove Lentis traffic supplies and victims across the Edge in Skytaverns if you can't afford the price, while technological progress has enabled weaponry on a scale that makes combat in the first two Ages of Flight primitive in comparison.

In Beyond the Deepwoods the stone pilot never speaks, just grunted when moving the flight rock, We never even found out if they were male or female, due to the wording of the text. And that was it until they got to the mire in Stormchaser. Once she started actually talking to Twig, it became apparent she had plenty of reasons to hide her face. Nevertheless she still becomes more open in general; And doesn't hesitate to ditch the suit in front of Twig's crew, as opposed to wearing it all the time aboard the Stormchaser. A lighter example with Celestia in The Nameless One, who teasingly calls Cade "city boy" for his inexperience living in the Farrow Ridges, until he builds his own dwelling and shows he can rough it as good as the other settlers. They quickly become close friends thereafter.

Although he does the best anyone possibly could in that situation, he still loses most of his crew. The Rook trilogy ends with the Freeglades established as a utopia of agrarian siblinghood. Then 500 years pass, and it's become another stratified city of haves and have-nots, though not quite to the extent of Undertown.

Come the start of the Twig trilogy, they've been forced to abandon their first child, which led to their marriage falling apart. Eventually, Quint vanishes into the Great Storm without ever learning that Maris found new happiness as the mother of the Free Glades. At the end of Midnight Over Sanctaphrax, Twig is an established sky pirate like he's always wanted, and his friend Cowlquape is Most High Academe of the new Sanctaphrax. By the Rook Trilogy, a frustrated Twig has spent decades wandering the Deepwoods without being able to return to Riverrise, while Cowlquape has been imprisoned in the Tower of Night. Rook averts this, becoming the first Verginix descendent in generations to see his children grow up. But even he's not immune. Near the end of his natural life, he visits Riverrise and spends 500 years imprisoned there by Golderayce One-Eye. Happens yet again in the Cade Trilogy, when Nate's research on the underside of the Edge tears him away from his beloved Eudoxia for fourteen years.

Applied constantly throughout the series whenever flight rocks are involved, particularly in the Winter Knights when the freezing cold makes almost every attempt to fly lethal. There is also an incredibly badass moment where a freezing storm sends the Galerider's rock unstable, and nearly dooms the ship. The Stone Pilot saves everyone single-handedly by setting herself on fire.

The Edge Chronicles / int_6edb0066	comment	Zero-Effort Boss: The Bringer of Doom. The most impressive skyship in the First Age of Flight, armed with the best equipment in Sanctaphrax, made from the largest flight-rock ever harvested, crewed by shrykes in their prime, and built from Bloodoak. Nothing can stand before this behemoth...or so it would be. Instead, it makes an impressive entrance, then anticlimatically tumbles to the ground because the guy charged with harvesting the floating rock used to keep it flying couldn't be bothered to remove the Stormphrax weight inside it. However, it did demonstrate its invincibility by devastating ships that did get in its way beforehand.

The Nightwoods are a forest beyond even the Deepwoods, dark and deadly and full of vicious waifs, found on the other side of the Thorn Forests. An extremely dangerous crossing of the Nightwoods is also the only way to reach the legendary land of Riverrise.

The Edge Chronicles / int_9d12bbc1	type	Foreshadowing
The Edge Chronicles / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: Many times. One example comes when Twig tries heartcharming in Beyond the Deepwoods. The idea is that a stick placed in the middle of a drawn heart falls to point towards his destiny. Instead it stays pointing upwards. This is pointed out later when Twig meets the sky pirates. We meet Screed Toe-Taker several chapters before Twig does, as he strands and massacres a family of innocent goblin migrants. The Winter Knights has a scene in the Loftus Observatory that foreshadows both The Cloudeater and Maris and Quint nearly falling to their death Throughout Clash of the Sky Galleons, we see pieces of the Bringer of Doom being made. One is even a Chekhov's Gun for its eventual destruction. Also, almost every appearance of Thaw Daggerslash gives clues that he isn't as charming as he acts at first. The Reveal at the end is really no surprise at all when it comes. The Last of the Sky Pirates has a scene early on that reveals Twig left for parts unknown instead of scuttling his ship. The fireball that hits Rook in Vox is actually a prototype of the real weapon Vox intends to use to destroy Undertown and New Sanctaphrax. Quint/Cloud Wolf is absorbed into the Mother Storm in Midnight Over Sanctaphrax, hinting at the ending of The Immortals: not only will his son and great-grandson share the same fate, but the effect can happen in reverse — and will do so to deal the final blow against the original Gloamglozer. Without the initial loss of Quint, the finale of Nate saga would come across as far more of a Gainax Ending.

The Edge Chronicles / int_9dab0a6e	comment	Continuity Nod: All over The Immortals. For example, the scene where Nate meets Weelum is very similar to the one in Beyond the Deepwoods where Twig meets the first banderbear to appear in the series. Another example appears in the final story in The Lost Barkscrolls anthology, when the main characters visit the ruins of the Foundry Glades and find the skeleton of Amberfuce in the cauldron he was boiled alive in at the end of Freeglader. A subtle one in Midnight Over Sanctaphrax when Flabsweat, a minor character in the previous book, gets a passing mention. Played with in The Last of the Sky Pirates. When Rook is talking to Deadbolt Vulpoon, the latter mentions how his father gave his life to save Twig in the last trilogy. It didn't quite happen like that.

He's hardly the worst villain in Vox and, whilst he was definately a Jerkass when he was younger, he only really becomes a villain because he has been betrayed by everyone he has ever worked with. In the end he dies a broken old man with his palace falling to pieces around him, betrayed once again - this time by the one person he thought was actually on his side. It is also interesting to note that the name of this book is Vox rather than, say, Rook. To a lesser extent, Screed Toe-Taker. His final words, and his final smile, are a poignant contrast to his 20-odd years of murder. Then you meet him as a noble young man in The Winter Knights, and his final fate seems even more tragic.

Screed himself, apparently, which was his original motive. A straighter example occurs much earlier in the same book. Spleethe smuggles Twig onto the Stormchaser to use him as a hostage in the mutiny. A brief line earlier implies that Vilnix was going to use Twig as a hostage himself to steal the Stormphrax when they returned. OK, so Vox summoning a Dark Maelstrom to destroy New Undertown wasn't a good thing, exactly. However, not only did it directly cause the much-needed death of Orbix Xaxis, but it also spurred the mass settlement of the Free Glades, the best hope for peaceful and prosperous life in the Edge.

The Edge Chronicles / int_c7a56f9e	comment	The Symbiote: One of the Deepwoods' native dangers is the aggressively carnivorous bloodoak tree. Bloodoaks, however, don't have any means of capturing prey — in practice, a bloodoak's just a trunk with a stomach in it. Each bloodoak grows alongside another plant, the tarryvine, which roots itself in its trunk; the tarryvine is mobile, agile and quite capable in a fight, but lacks a way to digest prey. Their relationship is straightforward enough — the tarryvine darts into the surrounding forest to snatch passing animals or people and dumps them down the bloodoak's mouth, creating a shared meal for the two symbiotes.

Whilst a charming, capable, and dedicated Sky Pirate who possesses a variety of useful skills, with great ambitions to be captain of his own great sky ship and become a legend in his own right, he's never succeeded as he is unwilling to start at the bottom and work his way up to become Captain as is tradition. As such he masterminds a ruthless plan to murder Captain Wind Jackal, by impersonating his hated archenemy Turbolt Smeal and luring him and his crew into increasingly dangerous traps, all whilst he ingratiates himself to said crew, thus when Wind Jackal dies he can take over. When this gambit fails and the crew instead chooses Wind Jackal's son Quint, Thaw flat out aligns with the dreaded Leaguemasters to help them wipe out all the sky pirates, as long as they give him the ship after the crew's killed.

The Edge Chronicles / int_fe0330fb	type	Brick Joke
The Edge Chronicles / int_fe0330fb	comment	Brick Joke: Overlapping with Continuity Nod. The League-Master's round table is seen in Stormchaser first, and gets shattered by a falling weight near the start of Midnight over Sanctaphrax. In Vox, several books later, Rook finds himself in the palace, and notices an odd round table, that had at one point been snapped in half and then crudely bolted back together. Happens again in Vox and The Immortals. Vox Verlix has the head of his own statue hurled through one of the skylights in the Palace of Shadows in Vox, and it reappears in The Immortals when Nate goes to meet his mother's brother, the Professor of Flight, who is apparently related to the lesser-known half of the Verlix clan. The Professor states that it was dug out of a pile of broken masonry in Old Undertown (the ruin of the Palace of Statues).
