Product Description

Review
'Stunningly original' - GUARDIAN 'Fabulously illustrated' - SUNDAY TIMES 'Packed with action and adventure. There is a touch of the Lewis Carroll to its authors' enthusiastic and uninhibited inventiveness and to the illustrations' Starburst 'This series is so exceptional... I'd bet good money on it still being in print a century from now' Interzone

Product Description
In the great floating city of Sanctaphrax, blizzards howl through the streets as the Edgeworld descends into an endless winter. Quint, the son of a sky pirate, has just begun his training at the Knights Academy - training that involves heading out over the Edge on tethers to develop his flying skills. But when Quint breaks the rules and head out to Open Sky on his own, he runs into the great sky leviathans known as cloud-eaters and must use all his skill and ingenuity if catastrophe is not to strike the Edgeworld...

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Edge Triumph!, 23 Feb 2006
By A Customer
Kicking off a bit after the curse of the gloamgozer finished, Quint arrives at the knights academy ready to begin training. As usal, the book has a good sence of adventure, the realtionships between the characters seem to click together poroperly, and, as is becoming common is some of these later edge-books, the winter knights has a very blood-thirsty battle-scene, which respectivly has just the amount of blood-lust any child, teenager or adult wanting to read will want. There is more politics in this book, fresh plotters seek power in the floating city, the uproar of stormphrax-era sanctaphrax is powerful.

Not forgetting, ofcourse the major wonder of the riddles superb line drawings, as he perfects every scene and wonder of sanctaphra and the addition of the titanic cloud-eater!

For any fan of children's or just good fantasy get this book! Death to the Earth Scholar's! Praise Sky!

5.0 out of 5 stars Nwilmot, 3 Jan 2006
By A Customer
this book was good because it was filled with adventure and sus pense as Quint is in the knights academy and a winter is gripping sanctaphrax. vilnix pompolnius is playing tricks on other students and forging fake letters from Quint(really vilnix) to maris saying maris should give him money. Then Quint sets off over the edge to stop the long winter. the plot fits together perfectly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Adultish, 10 Dec 2008
A Kid's Review
It's more for adults than children with all the fancy words and it was a bit hard understanding what was going on in the story.
