"We have read this before, but Tom requested the whole series again. That's OK. There is a lot of story in The Edge Chronicles, and they merit a second go-through. This one is not my favorite, but I think it is Tom's."
"As the storm is traveling faster than the great expedition can on foot, emissaries have been sent to the Sky Pirates living in the Mire to ask for their help in getting across the treacherous expanse. With the help of the Sky Pirates and the Ghosts of Screetown, everyone is safely evacuated from the elevated road before the storm hits. Once it passes, and they've dug themselves out of the mud, the long journey to the Free Glades begins. As an army composed of the newly born, it's even more dangerous, as young Shrykes don't have the discipline to stop fighting once the frenzy gets them. It seems hopeless. But the group stands and makes a valiant effort--and with some last minute aid from the Freeglade Lancers, and a death-blow to the Shrykes' leader by a young Undertowner, the battle is a success. This is probably the most action-packed book of the series yet, with all its battles and the simultaneous storylines of Rook and Xanth and their qwests to discover who they truly are. The older books and the newer also get more firmly tied together in this installment, giving closure and opening new horizons at the same time"
"Picking up where we left off in Vox, the Undertowners are now fleeing a great malestrom which has destroyed their homes. As the storm is traveling faster than the great expedition can on foot, emissaries have been sent to the Sky Pirates living in the Mire to ask for their help in getting across the treacherous expanse, which is the only alternate route to the Great Mire Road.
With the help of the Sky Pirates and the Ghosts of Screetown, everyone is safely evacuated from the elevated road before the storm hits. Once it passes, and they've dug themselves out of the mud, the long journey to the Free Glades begins. A long and tiring journey already, the troubles increase when scouts report back that an army of Shrykes is marching their way. As an army composed of the newly born, it's even more dangerous, as young Shrykes don't have the discipline to stop fighting once the frenzy gets them. It seems hopeless. But the group stands and makes a valiant effort--and with some last minute aid from the Freeglade Lancers, and a death-blow to the Shrykes' leader by a young Undertowner, the battle is a success.
Meanwhile, on the trip across the Edgelands, Rook cut himself free of the group to chase after a friend, only to witness a Great Storm unleash a bolt of Stormphrax lighting into the woods....and then to be hit by a Sepia Storm as it spun its way out to the edge. If not for a clearing of the mist, he would never have been spotted, nor would he have been rescued from going over the edge with the storm. But luck was on his side, and the very friend he had gone after caught him and carried him back to the Deepwoods to the people who could take care of him. The storm's effects left Rook with little memory of who he was or what had happened before he was caught up in it. Only with the help of his Banderbear friends is he able to make it to the Free Glades at all. And there he is found by the Oak Elves of Lullabee Island, who take him away to see if they can help heal him.
Trapped underground awaiting his Reckoning, Xanth worries after Rook. With Rook's memory gone and Magda shot down over the Eastern Roost, there will be no one to speak for him, and he will surely be condemned. Memories of his time as a Librarian Knight haunt him, as they were the happiest of his life, and yet a lie.
In the outer Glades, plans are stirring to attack and enslave the Free Glades, in order to keep the foundries running and stop the disease which is growing among the Goblins, whose nations are sorely taxed by supplying slaves to the Foundry Glade in ever-increasing numbers.
This is probably the most action-packed book of the series yet, with all its battles and the simultaneous storylines of Rook and Xanth and their qwests to discover who they truly are. The older books and the newer also get more firmly tied together in this installment, giving closure and opening new horizons at the same time."
