History YMMV / TheEdgeChronicles

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Does Linius neglect Maris because he feels involving her in his work would be too dangerous, or because she's a girl and he would rather have a boy working as his apprentice? The Edge in general seems to be pretty patriarchal (with the exception of the Shryke and the Termagant trogs) with women holding very few positions of influence. But Maris also mentions Quint is a few years older than her when she meets him. So it could be Linius would have been agreeable to Maris helping him if she weren't so ''young'' rather than because she's a girl.

* IronWoobie: Most of the main characters. Twig in particular suffers more than anyone ever should.

* TooCoolToLive: [[spoiler: Varis Lodd.]]

* JerkassWoobie: Vox Verlix is a horrible person but ends up living such a miserable life it's difficult not to feel at least a little bad for him.

** Rook and Xanth!

* NightmareFuel
** Wig-Wigs and Bloodoaks.
** Also Screed Toe-Taker.

* CompleteMonster: The Gloamglozer

** Don't forget Rook and Xanth!

* CompleteMonster: The Gloamglozer who is essentially {{Satan}}
* HarsherInHindsight: Only if you read the books in the order they were released in, but in Stormchaser, Hubble [[spoiler:dies the moment he leaves the Twilight Woods]] and Stope Boltjaw [[spoiler:actually wanders off [[FateWorseThanDeath into the woods themselves]]]] and both characters are subsequently forgotten. However, in the later two books of the Quint Trilogy, both have their characters [[RoundedCharacter seriously fleshed out]]. Unfortunately, [[DoomedByCanon they're still both going to die]].

-->Cowlquape: And I'd follow you anywhere, even...even out there, into Open Sky.

* NightmareFuel:

* AlasPoorVillain: Arguably [[FatBastard Vox Verlix]]. He's hardly the worst villain in ''Vox'' and, whilst he was definately a {{Jerkass}} when he was younger, he only really becomes a villain because he has been betrayed by everyone he has ever worked with. In the end he dies a broken old man with his palace falling to pieces around him, betrayed once again - this time by the one person he thought was actually on his side. It is also interesting to note that the name of this book is ''Vox'' rather than, say, ''Rook''.
** To a lesser extent, Screed Toe-Taker. His final words, and [[GoOutWithASmile his final smile]], are a poignant contrast to his 20-odd years of murder. Then you meet him as a noble young man in The Winter Knights, and his final fate seems [[HarsherInHindsight even more]] [[DoomedByCanon tragic]].
