A nice little prequel to add to the quint saga, helps you understand the relationship between quint and his father and how he came about the name cloud wolf.

Also a great bit of treachery to flavour the story too.

4-stars because i felt it could have done with another 50 pages to build the adventure up. ☺️👍

Having read this after the Quint trilogy, I could understand the relationships better, but I wish I have read it chronologically as well, it would give Quint a lot of personality at the beginning. A great read.

A nice quick read which takes one back to the edge and all the adventures taking place there

It was a short and quick reading. I'm reading books that are on my level and I felt its good to step back and read something bit easy. It's really easy to follow the story and I really enjoyed.

Nice little introduction to the world of The edge Chronicles. Enjoyable read, immersive feel like your in the action. Highly recommend reading..

No actual cloud wolves in this entire book. Personally I'd hold out until the next D&D Monster Manual if those are what you're after. For a very short demonstration of what 'The Edge Chronicles' have to offer, though - this seemed like a well-sized morsel. I read in in a day just on the bus rides. Entertaining enough but I don't think I'll be reading more of the series. It was somewhat reminiscent of discworld in style, but lacking in that simple-faced complexity and willingness to include any aspect of reality, not matter how grim, that makes that series so lovable.

What a good little read, I esp love all the illustrations(I think that it helps make the story come alive b4 your very own eyes). I have never read anything by Paul Stewart b4 but have recently got all his book in my to read pile (I found them in charity shops and book shop sales only spent bout £20 at the most!). After devouring cloud Wolf I cant wait for the rest :)

Short, but adds context and background to a plot line that wasn't fully developed in the novels.

[Dan · Rating 4 out of 5]

It's only a short story, but it is a short story that adds actual sky pirate battles to a series that rarely lets you see the pirates in action.

Exciting and a good addition to the series.

I love this series and the world Paul Stewart has created.
