Die Geschichte erinnert mich eher an die Reihe "A Series of Unfortunate Events" von Lemony Snicket, wobei der Schreibstil ein völlig anderer ist. In his travels he encounters myriad peculiar creatures, like his wise guardian, the Caterbird; the Slaughterers, a peaceful race who butcher animals for their livelihood; and the vicious, bile-swilling Rotsucker. Although he was a master carver, Tuntum Snatchwood earned most of his money from the illicit repair of the sky pirates’ ships.

Twig, on the verge of manhood at the age of 13, is told that the Woodtrolls who brought him up are not his real parents and that he must venture forth into the Deepwoods, keeping only to the path, to discover the truth about himself.It’s a book for children that’s so gripping and fascinatingly creative, it’s hard not to get sucked into this rich fantasy world. Galvenā varoņa unikālā izcelsme piedāvā lasītājam ceļot cauri daudzajiem šķēršļiem, kā caur savdabīgām puzlēm, ko radījuši autori. It was a good end to the story, finishing first book with an appropriate plot for the main character to be introduced and leaving the reader in a position that they know it's the beginning of a great journey for him . Always watching out for the horrible Gloamglozer, whose presence haunts the thoughts of all the inhabitants of The Edge, Twig steadfastly pursues his quest until he discovers his roots, not among the trees, but in the skies. But be careful, once you start reading the first book, you'll want to read them all and there are a lot of them.

In a brave attempt to find out where he belongs, Twig wanders into the mysterious, dangerous world beyond the Deepwoods. Armed with just a few magical gifts from his adopted mother, Spelda, Twig steps off the path and tumbles into a terrifying other world where nothing and no-one can be trusted.Chris Riddell's dramatic line drawings are the perfect complement to Paul Stewart's striking words in Beyond the Deepwoods, the first book of The Edge Chronicles. Q: The Edge Chronicles seems perfectly suited for film, with its fast-paced action, loveable creatures, and incredible comic-timing. My 10 year old son loves Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, Wolf Brother etc, Lord of the Rings, Magisterium. Autori - Kriss Ridels un Pols Stjuarts - grāmatā ir centušies parādīt, ka brīžiem var atkāpties no ikdienišķās un garlaicīgās grāmatu rakstīšanas, veidojot kādu radošu savu fantāziju un izdomu augli. Since I love character building and continuity, I grew tired of this conflict-escape cycle and craved more complex characters and dialogue.
