When their captain Cloud Wolf, whose real name is Quintinius Verginix, tells a story about his past, Twig realizes that Quintinius is his true father, and wants to join his crew. This book follows a young one by the name of Twig, who has been raised by woodtrools since he was a babe. In Midnight over Sanctaphrax, this throwaway idea becomes pivotal to the plot– but we won't give it away just in case you haven't read the book yet! Ich bin gespannt, wie es mit Twig weitergehen wird und wann mir die Himmelspiraten einen Platz in ihrem Luftschiff anbieten werden. The main character is the usual weak male that finds his strength along the way, but the story is generally unique and pleasing.

I just hope that the next one won't be a string of troubles and narrow escapes, and can bring something new to the table. It's all a bit linear, which is a shame, because so many characters are passed and have enormous potential. When Cloud Wolf realized this, he was emotionally tortured by the thought, and left while Twig was sleeping.Im Gegensatz zu vielen Phantasieromanen, die man heute in der Kinder- oder Jugendbuchabteilung findet, und die man als Erwachsener trotzdem mit Spannung und Spaß liest, ist "Beyond the deepwoods" wirklich ein Phantasieroman für Kinder; erwachsene Phantasiefans werden die Lektüre über die Länge des Buches hin wohl eher etwas langweilig finden. Beyond the Deepwoods is about the Twig, a young humanoid character on his journey across The Edge, a fantasy world full to the brim with creatures and animals that both terrify and amaze us. Paul Stewart tells the story with considerable input from Chris Riddell's copious and wonderfully detailed line drawings of fabulous creatures, often reminiscent of Tenniel's or Mervyn Peake's grotesques. As I said before, they live on a Ledge and everybody is so scared of falling off the edge, but you never get told what is down there and nobody ever thinks to take a sky ship and Sail down into the mist over the edge. This was something he had wished so often as he’d lain in his bunk after yet another day of being teased and taunted and bullied.

I don't like reading in general, you hand me a book, I'll maybe read a few pages of it and then I'll get bored with it. Fast auf jeder Seite findet man ein Bild von Twig oder den Geschöpfen, denen er auf seiner Reise begegnet.This is an act no woodtroll ever commits, for the woodtrolls' greatest fear is getting lost, and this fear is not without reason. Twig, on the verge of manhood at the age of 13, is told that the Woodtrolls who brought him up are not his real parents and that he must venture forth into the Deepwoods, keeping only to the path, to discover the truth about himself. Twig finally meets some sky pirates, whose ship has crashed due to the flight-rock which powers the ship falling out of the sky when it was struck by lightning, and helps them repair it. Abstract: When thirteen-year-old Twig discovers that he was abandoned at birth by an unknown outsider, he leaves his woodtroll family behind and sets off on a journey through and beyond the dangerous Deepwoods.
