The Edge Chronicles – Freeglader

I finished a book and almost forgot to blog it, that’s how tired I still am. Geez. OK the book, I finished it. The seventh in The Edge Chronicles series, Freeglader. If you haven’t picked this series up, and you have children 7-12 or an affinity for children’s literature, then you should give the series a try.

We’ve all agreed that the first book was the best, the second was pretty good, the others sort of ho hum but only in comparison to the first two. This last one, much better. It tied up all of the loose ends from the other books. Gave a lineage, so to speak, showed us what happened to the missing sky pirates and librarian knights. It was a good way to tie things up. Which makes me wonder if this is the last in the series. I think it probably should be. Not because I’ve not enjoyed reading the books, I have. It just felt like an ending to me, tying up the loose ends, explaining all of the missing pieces – the end, happily ever after and all that stuff.

Oh darn, I just read a review on Amazon and it appears there are more books, though they seem to fit into some of the other segments we have already read. Interesting. Weird. I’m not sure I want to backpedal my way through those. I hate reading a series out of order and I’m afraid that is what this is going to feel like… ah well, they are quick and easy reads, I’ll probably give them a try if they become available at our library.

Oh what the heck, let’s have a little Edge Chronicles fun while we’re here….Looks like I’m Twig, that’s a bit of a surprise actually. I thought maybe Cloud Wolf.
