wisegirl98's review against another edition
This is a great book for little boys to read with their fathers. It is written wonderfully for them, while not so great for females. My mother, sister, and I did not like them near as much.

As far as action, this book isn't as good as some of Chuck Black's other books. Overall, this book is great, though--the analogies are great, and the storyline is fairly engaging. (Full review may come eventually.)

Maybe I've just read too many brilliant allegories before coming to these ... but I just don't feel power from these. They try to cram too much into too little space and it doesn't satisfy me.

Kingdom's Edge continues the Kingdom series with exciting action and inspiring, heroic choices. As a growing writer, is it fun to read through Black's series and watch him grow in the art of fiction, too :).

Black’s best work yet! While still completely allegory to the point where it reads like fanfiction, there were some lines in here that made me stop and think. Besides that, the first person perspective was a little better than the third person in the previous two books, but the pacing was still very stop and go. The quiet parts were interrupted by the main tragedy which didn’t even last 30 pages! I’m a little hesitant for book four, I think that’s where I dropped it years and years ago, but I’ll push through this time… hopefully.

I like the first two better. The books get quite repetitive.

I very much related and like Cedric, the main character of this book, however I felt the Prince (Jesus' character) seemed rather distant, untangible and almost... Cold. The author said he was compassionate, but that never really came through in any of his actions or words. I did really enjoy the Silent Warriors/Shadow Warriors aspect. I thought that was unique and a great way of portraying angels/demons. Including one of the Silent Warriors talking about his old friends that followed Lucifer's character. A great way of telling it.
I did also enjoy the writing style of this book. Complex enough for an avid adult reader to be entertained, simple enough for a child to understand. I also thought this moved a little too fast, and told so many stories at once. It was at a much faster pace than the previous two books, possibly because this was truly the first one he wrote before he turned it into a series. Not sure, but because of this I felt some things were not explained well.
