Edge Chronicles 6: Vox (The Edge
Chronicles) by Chris Riddell
I'll Just List The Pros And Cons.
In the second novel in the Rook Barkwater sequence, the young knight
librarian attempts to stop the dark might of the Most High Academe. High
in the crumbling Palace of Statues, oily Vox Verlix is brewing a terrible plot
to take over power in Edgeworld once again. Can Rook foil Voxs plan and
save the lives of his librarian colleagues?
Personal Review: Edge Chronicles 6: Vox (The Edge
Chronicles) by Chris Riddell
I have just finished reading Vox, the sixth book in the Edge Chronicles
series by Paul Stewart (and illustrated with astounding talent by Chris
Riddle), and I am speechless. This review is not so much a review of the
sixth book alone, but for the entire series so far. The Edge Chronicles is
one of the most daring and wonderful series of books I have ever read.
The vision for these books as set forth by Paul Stewart and captured by
Chris Riddle in his illustrations is unlike any I have encountered. They are
original, exciting and daring stories that are not afraid to tackle tough
issues like death and loyalty (or lack thereof). The heroes sometimes fail
through good intentions (Twig's journey seems Odyssean when you sum it
up and ultimately tragic). Quint's precludes are exciting but already
knowing what happens later are underscored with "sweet sorrow." You
can see the span of the lives you have come to love and feel the
bittersweet beauty of them. The world they inhabit is incredible and so well
described, I find it hard to believe that Edgeworld only exists in our
imaginations. This world does not remain stagnant, unchanging, but
evolves like any other world, and not always for the better. This world-
change culminates in an exciting adventure involving our intrepid librarian-
knight Rook Barkwater in the sixth book, Vox. This book does not
disappoint, but colors the Edgeworld in more vibrant detail. I absolutely
cannot wait for the next book, Freeglader, to come out!
