Book Report: ON THE EDGE OF THE DARK SEA OF DARKNESS, Andrew Peterson


 Wingfeather Saga, Book 1

I'd heard good things about this series, especially the excitement when fans learned it would be turned into an animated series.

Fun story. Clever, rather punny naming choices. I listened to this audiobook over the course of maybe 2 weeks, and I'm very curious to get hold of a print copy and see the spelling of some of those names.

Sometimes I was tempted to make up errands so I could spend time in my car, listening!

Heartbreaking in places. Hold-your-breath scenes of danger. Lots of places to boo the disgusting lizard-creature villains -- and cheer when they get their comeuppance!

The story starts in a kingdom dominated and oppressed by the vicious lizards called Fangs. A poor but noble and loving little family struggles to survive, until one unfair and unkind event after another lands on them and forces them to be brave, and start asking some really hard questions. Janner, the oldest boy, learns hard lessons, some of them heartbreaking, but they are preparing him for a noble destiny.

Looking forward to listening to the next Wingfeather selection, a collection of short stories!

Under Construction: The Commonwealth Universe

 


Coming Soon!

THE HERO'S MASK and SONG OF THE NIGHTSKIMMER: 2 new Talon titles, set in Age 1 of the Commonwealth Universe

PEACE VILLAGE, the 3rd Refuge book, sequel to Wind Walker and Moonbirds.

With these 3 books, the promised Age 1 stories are complete.

THANKS FOR YOUR PATIENCE!

(you are now free to start binge reading ...)

I'm getting to work on Age 2, which had only 1 book published in that era, UNDYING, a story about the birth of the Order. If you've read the Sunsinger books and VIRTUALLY DEAD, you've already met the heroine, Marnya. This is her story -- and how the Order of Kilvordi brought the human race back from barbarism and sent them back to the stars.

There will be 3 Order titles when finished: Undying, Scholar, and Vision. (coming in 2025) Then tales about the rediscovery of the colonies lost during the Downfall.

Then on to Age 3!!!! Starting with the long-awaited story of the childhood of Lin Fieran and the Free Trader ship Sunsinger,

Ready?  It's going to be fun!!


Special thanks to Sandy Cummins, the intreprid publisher and brains and energy behind Writers Exchange of Australia. She took a chance on my first Sunsinger novel, and has been working tirelessly for years helping authors get published, and constantly updating our books to make them more visible, and the best they can possibly be!
