This series is just amazing. Why can't I convince more people I know to read it???
For a while a friend and I lead a World Of Warcraft guild called "The Librarian Knights". No one got it.

I love that series to death! In fact, I was the one who launched its article on this very wiki, all the way in the distant past (late 2007-early 2008), back when dinosaurs roamed the Earth and Taft was president.
The Edge has always been one of my favourite worlds to explore, and ever since I discovered it at age 10, I always enjoy going back and re-reading the series. Back when I got my copy of The Immortals last fall, I practically put my life on hold so that I could finish reading it.
Truth be told, I think it was this series that really got me interested in reading on a large scale. I mean, I'd read Harry Potter and loved it before I discovered the Edge, but The Edge Chronicles really connected with me on a deeper level.
https://www.facebook.com/emileunmedicatedanduncutI LOVE IT. Nobody around me has read it, sadly.
My favorite parts of the series were the books focused on Quint and Maris.
Of all the books I've read in my lifetime, the entire series is one of my favorite. I have reread the books more times than any other book.
Yay! I love this series! I haven't read The Immortals yet, but I own it, and it's high on my too-read list.
This is one of those rare series where I enjoy the illustrations just as much as the writing. Stewart and Riddell are such a perfect team.
My favourite ones are probably the Rook ones. Not sure why... I think I just like Rook better as a character. But I love them all! Although I agree about the Quint trilogy; it is like there's a shadow over their whole relationship.

Oh why doesn't this series get more love! It's just so amazing the characters, the wierd and creatively scary creatures in the Deepwoods, sky pirates, fraxpunk technology, it's just so awesome! I first read a used copy of BTWD when I was 10 and loved it. Then I discovered to my delight when I was 14 that there were sequels and prequels. I had to spend years finding the books as they were just so hard to come by, but it's worth it. I've got all books aside from the Lost Bark Scrolls on me now and I'm starting with Quint going in chronological order.
Hm. It's also the only one my library doesn't have (I got it from interlibrary loan).
In terms of continuity, it's probably the least important, though The Blooding of Rufus Filatine does help tie The Immortals more closely to the other books. I checked just now, and there are some copies on Amazon(not many, though. I guess this is the hardest one in the series to find), so I do recommend reading it.
Bump because apparently a new book was released in January and GOSHDARNIT HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS. And the next is being released in April, or so says my shiny new pre-order that I'll probably only remember about when I look at my bank statement and go, "Wait, what was this?"

I want there to be a topic about this series, even if it fails to garner a single post! >8p
