Edge Chronicles 4: The Curse of the Gloamglozer (The Edge Chronicles)

This is just an awesome book and series. It is hard to give it enough praise, but we have all read it multiple times. My 10 year old son refuses to stop reading the series from start to finish. Since purchasing this a few months ago he has read all 10 or so books 4-5 times through already. He always finds something new and interesting each time he reads it. For any fans of sci-fi and fantasy this is absolutely one of the best series we have ever read!

I purchased this as a gift for my 9 year old. He read it and enjoyed it as much as the other books by this author. He passed it on to his older brother and sister who also had a great time reading it.

Grand child 11 first book that he ever really read on his own and talked my ear off about it and he isn't much of a reader.

This fourth book in the Edge Chronicles series is actually chronologically the first, and although long and sometimes complicated, it is the most exciting to date.Having met Twig in the first book, we are now whisked back in time to when his parents first meet, and although the wrong sparks fly at first, the strength of their characters draws them together as they face the most terrible threat to Sanctaphrax.Packed with intrigue, treachery, adventure, courage and emotion, the story revolves around the distracted Linius Pallitax, the Most High Academe of Sanctaphrax, his brave apprentice Quint, son of a sky pirate captain, and Maris, his neglected daughter.Quint and Maris must brave the mysteries and horrors of the stonecomb that lies deep within the floating rock, to discover the terrible secret that Linius has been harboring. With each visit, the Most High Academe has been growing weaker, and there are terrible secrets hidden within the ever-changing tunnels.While it is not necessary to have read the first three books, a little background is always helpful, and I would recommend reading at least book one before this one.A little stretched out in places, brilliant in others, the stage is now set for an incredible book five.Amanda Richards, April 17, 2005

Good book

My son loves this book series and is now rereading them all again.We hope for more books from this author soon.

12 yr old rated this a 5.

Good feedback from my students!

Was very imaginative and captivating, the characters are likeable. Everything about the world is bizarre and new, a refreshing read.

Ich hab fast die ganze Reihe als Kind mit ca. 10-12 Jahren mal als Hörbuch auf deutsch gehört. Leider gibt es die Bücher als E-Books nicht auf deutsch. Aber wozu hatte man denn über 8 Jahre Englisch Unterricht in der Schule…Ich finde man versteht es sehr gut, obwohl der Autor doch ab und an mir unbekannte Vokabeln verwendet (aus anderen Rezensionen geht hervor, dass auch englische Muttersprachler mit 10-12 Jahren damit teilweise Probleme hatten). Die Geschichte ist packend geschrieben und die erschaffene Welt sehr interessant. Ich werde auf alle Fälle auch die weiteren Bücher noch lesen

This is the first book in the edge chronicles, and I am going to read the next one straight away. This book tells the tale of Quint, and so does the next one. Some people say that this is the fourth, or even the fifth, which is not true. This is the order:The curse of the GloamglozerThe winter knightsBattle of the sky gallstonesBeyond the deepwoodsStormchaserMidnight over SanctaphraxThe last of the sky piratesVoxFreegladerThe immortals.The nameless one.The writing is fantastic and so are the illustrations.

Love this series

This is a great start to The Edge Chronicles and can't wait to start reading the second in the series (The Winter Knights). I'm excitedly waiting until it's delivered.The writing is fantastic and the illustrations even more so. This book is utterly awesome, and good for all ages.When reading review I was confused when people where saying this is the fourth book in the series. This is untrue, If you look in the books it will give you this order (chronological/publication order):The Curse Of The GloamglozerThe Winter KnightsBattle Of The sky GalleonsBeyond The DeepwoodsStormchaserMidnight Over SanctraphraxThe Last Of The Sky PiratesVoxFreegladerThe ImmortalsThe Nameless OneJust so you are aware, when you do read The Twig Saga as the first saga, and expect The Quint Saga to involve Twig, then you'd be wrong. It's more based on his father, and his life rather than anything with Twig at all.
