One desire alone drives Twig on: the longing to discover his true identity and his destiny...

Customer Reviews

truly great
If you are wondring whether to buy this audiobook my advice to you is to stop thinking about it and buy it!
Twig, born and bred in the treacherous deepwoods, was told my his mother never to stray from the path but Twig being Twig he just has to do exactly what he was told not to. This book is full of excellent discriptive writing and is full of exciting, depressing and feel good moments. The cassettes are easily over 3 hours long and are definately worth listening to. If you enjoy this audibook then I would recommend that you also buy the other books in the Edge Chronicles as they are all superb and as good, if not better as this one. So if you're into fantasy and heart-warming storytelling then definately look out for books by Chris Riddel. The narrator of this particular audio book is great as he is excellent at using his voice to set the mood. This book deserves to have more acclaim than the Harry Potter series, I just cannot stress how good it is. Please, do yourself a favour and buy this.
