The Edge Chronicles is the best series I have ever read. They are full of adventure. I liked #3 the best. That's the one where Twig tries to find his lost crew mates. I have read all the way up to seven. I am reading number eight right now. Great series!

This book is one of the best of the seires. It, like it's brothers is writen well and paced well. The book combines war of the goblins and freegladers makes you want to read on even if your extreamly tierd. It will make you want to read it again even if you've only just finished it!!!!! The best part is when the goblin armies are sent to war beacuse you meet new charcters. By Sam age12

First off, I LOVED IT! ! ! ! I am a big fan of teh Edge Chronicles, twig being my favorite character. I never really liked Rook Barkwater until this book. Now I do. Freeglader is all about the journey that the Undertowners have to take after the Dark Maelstrom to get to the Freeglades and have peace. Banding together with the sky pirates from the Mire, the fleeing Undertowners must brave attacks from Muglumps, shrykes, goblins, and survive the treacherous Mire and Edgelands. The story was great and exciting, even if it does take a serious turn. Younger readers might be a little more sensitive to some of the gory scenes: the one where the shryke rips out a librarian's heart, for instance, or the one where Amberfuce is boiled alive. This aside, my favorite part of the book was not the actual story, but the epilogue. There is a conversation at the end between Rook and an old sky pirate (won't say who it is!) and Rook learns the secret of his parentage. It's been obvious since the beginning, but it's nice to see it in print and find out the intricacies of marriage in the Deepwoods. This is a must-read for Edge Chronciles fans, especially for those who really like Rook. Don't bother reading it if you havent' read the others; it won't make any sense at all. P.S. did anyone notice in the family tree at the back that ROok is also related to a dear little someone who's last name is Hammelherd?
Awesome
