The Last of the Sky Pirates by Paul Stewart, Chris Riddell

3.0

As before with this series, I am often surprised by just how dark the stories get. Nobody is safe and anything can happen. That being said, the story itself did drag a little for me in that it retraced a lot of the ground covered in the Beyond the Deepwoods as Rook travels the Edge encountering weird and often dangerous things and environments. Fortunately, this story does pick up after a while and by the end has nicely picked up and was far more engaging. Chris Riddle's illustrations as always add something to the story. Full of imagination and adventure.
