I loved the plot, especially when someone started playing god and things fell apart. Brilliant. The rift between sky and earth scholars causes so many problems and violence. Going within the rock, fighting off glisters, and escaping from the diabolical tunnels while trying to discover exactly what they have created, Quint and Maris go on a wild adventure. Wonderful! (

This is a killer turn in the plot of the Egde Chronicles. For all you lovers of Twig out there(myself included) the main charector does change to Quint in this book (Twig's Father at a younger age) although I was devestated by the loss of Twig this is actually a pretty good book. As it is set chronologicly before the first three (comenly known as the starwars order) you are revealed to several things that you didnt know in the first three like how Quint met Maris (Twigs mom). Overall a pretty good book.
