Andrew Peterson is a (amazing!) songwriter, who has started his own series of books. The first one is called On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness. The second book is called North! Or be Eaten, and the third (still being written as of 8/25/2010) is called The Monster in the Hollows. The Saga traces the adventures of three children, Janner, Leeli, and Kalmar (Tink) Igiby, who are thrown into a series of adventures. The first book seemed a little slow at first, but it got quicker as it continued. His website is http://wingfeathersaga.com/. His books are full of laughs, light and truth, however cheesy that sounds ;).

So, has anyone else read these books? If so (and if not), beware the toothy cows. They are scary. ;)

I have indeed read these books and found them quite enjoyable! It's fun to read fantasy with an interwoven thread of humor sometimes. :)

And I thought that the second book was even better than the first, which bodes well for the rest of the series (five books in total, I believe).

I also enjoyed the second book more. My dad only let me read 10 chapters a day! It was quite suspenseful. :)

*coughs on dust way back in the bottom of the forgotten secret passage in the Watchtower* * resurrects ancient topic * This thing is... outdated, so I shall update it :P

To start off, the saga will be concluded in Book 4, which I shall not name because it has a bit of a spoiler in the title until you read the first three.

Speaking of which, has anyone read book three, The Monster in the Hollows? To say I LOVED it in an understatement; I inhaled the thing. :dieshappy: I was gasping for breath with the wonder of it... It's gorgeous. Feel free to discuss if you have (in spoilers, of course ;)) or if you haven't... These are awesome, beautiful books, so I'm willing to do what it takes to get you to read them. ;)

Ah, lucky, lucky person! I've not read Monster in the Hollows yet but I can't wait to. I absolutely adore the Wingfeather series and Andrew Peterson's music is awesome too, especially Counting Stars. But that's a bit off topic so...There's already plans for the fourth book?! And it's the last one?! *faints.* *revives* I am now officially excited. :D

I've read the first two and I loved them.

They reminded me Douglass Adam's Hitchhiker's series, somewhat.

I've read one and three and need to get my hands on two! :D They're very good, the best childrens' fantasy I've read in a long time; and pretty decent adult fantasy too. Up there with Narnia on my list of good books. :D

Who are y'all's favorite characters? I love The Florid Sword and Peet, personally.

@ Varon: You must get The Monster in the Hollows. :D

@ Melody: You do! It has a pretty good summary in the beginning of three, but it's even better with North! Or Be Eaten. ;)

I love these books! :book:
They have a feeling of J R R Tolkien, with a child-sh fairy tale with hope that feels so magical. I like his style. I have not read the third book Monster in the Hollows yet but I'm going to soon.
I like Peet the Sock Man too, but I like Leeli as well.

* chuckles * Well said, Emilyn. I love your username by the way. It's beautiful.

I'm with you on AP's style. It's so... real, but it's also far beyond in that it looks to the next Chapter of The Story. And yes, Leeli is amazing. You'll really love her in the third book. :)

Well that's not fair. I just deleted all that I had typed. *sniff*

@Melody: My favorites are Peet and Tink, though I love Leeli too: she's strong and sweet at the same time.

@Shawn: Sure. :D

@Emilyn: First, I too love the name. :D Second, I am also waiting on the library and half a dozen other people to get my hands on the book.

I like Andrew Peterson's music as well.

His music rocks...though, perhaps not literally. XD

I may see him in concert soon...

And I may get my book autographed...

And, one day, I may cease use of elipses...

I finished Monster in the Hollows! *sigh* Now I want to read the next one, even though it isn't even written yet!
Andrew Peterson should have written the rough draft of the next book before letting his readers devour the third book. Although we felt like we were dying as we waited years for the third book to come out. lol

I haven't read the third book yet. Is it out? I wasn't actively trying to find it because, well, they weren't exactly my favourite books.... :roll: Oh yes, I never came back in here to talk about it. I'll try and do that sometime.

Yes, the third book is out. And the third book sealed this series on my "Awesome" list. :shock: It's incredible.

AP's music is very very good. :D

I loved the third book-devoured it, actually--though I loved the first two as well. It was so...epic.

Currently my favorite song of his would have to be...*thinks* Little Boy Heart Alive, probably. But it changes every week because they're all so great and I'm going to stop talking about this, really I am.

WARNING The following hidden text includes a major spoiler for those who have not read Monster in the Hollows. If you've not read it, don't read this; instead, go read the book and then come back! :D

Recently I was able to see Andrew Peterson in concert--which I highly enjoyed and afterwards I and a small group of friends stuck around for autographs--and ended up getting to talk one-on-one with him for inbetween fifteen to thirty minutes. We did get our autographs, which made me very happy indeed!


During this wonderful meeting, I learned something about the behind-the-scenes of MitH from AP while we spoke.

You all remember the whole thing about the cloven, right? And how cool that turns out to be in the end? Andrew Peterson told us that this character had shown up in the story--the cloven--and he was so bummed because for the life of him he couldn't figure out what this character was supposed to be doing in his story. (He didn't know!) So he was sitting there, all gloomy, and his wife asks what wrong and he tells her and he still can't figure it out and so is still gloomy.

He decided to keep writing the story, hoping the problem might smooth itself out, wondering what on earth the cloven was doing in his story. He still did not know until he wrote the scene where Janner and the cloven's gazes meet. Suddenly, he got it.

He said he bawled when he figured it out.
I don't blame him.
I bawled. Well, not when he told us about it--that would have been embarrasing--but when I read the book.
Anyway, I just thought I'd share because it makes me so very happy.


Also! I cannot wait for a certain book to come out that I can't say the name of because it's sort of a spolier itself! XD Looks like I'll be waiting for a while. However, audiobook versions of the first two books are now available if anyone likes those. They're read by an Englishman, too. XD

I think the next book is coming next year! Yay! I just wish the cloven would come back in the next book. Kalmar needs a good father figure.

That's the dude their mom marries/will marry, correct?

Well, that's what the plan was, but after having to leave the Hollows and the whole thing with Rodric...you know...accidentally shooting the, er, 'cloven' I think the marriage is, at least temporarily, off. But I liked him a good deal--aside from him wanting to marry Nia, that is. I felt so bad for him in that moment, poor guy.

Everyone needs a good father figure, but that doesnt mean everyone is fortunate enough to have one. Kalmar has survived this long without his father, he will have to go on with the rest of his family. Besides, he has Janner and Leeli and Nia and Artham to help him--especially Artham and Janner. After all, that's the entire reason for the Throne Warden's existance. I love Kalmar, by the way. I got mad at him for a while in the middle there, but think about it: he's a kid, a young kid, suddenly expected to act like a king, and now he has to fight his Fang side to boot. He'll make an awesome king, I'm sure. You can see how much he grows in MitH

*grins* Spoiler-talk is so much fun.

They are, aren't they? ;)

Erm... Ditto? I felt so bad for Rodric, poor guy. Can't decide if he might marry Nia or not...

I think Kalmar will be an awesome king, honestly. He's growing a lot. :)


Artham is awesome. 'Nuff said. :cool:

Isn't it? :D

Oh, okay. Yeah....I like Roderic, but got mad at him when I found out their dad was still alive, then I felt really sorry for him after he accidentally shot him!!

Ditto means "Same!" or "That's just what I was going to say!", etc.

I'm not sure what to think of Rodric. I'm not sure whether or not to trust him... I don't feel very comfortable about Nia marrying him just now.

Like I said, they all had to leave, so I'm not sure it's even an option any longer.

I think she should at least wait a while...maybe she'll get married in the last one to him? That may be slightly more fitting? *Shrugs*

Rereading the third book, I noticed that they had known each-other when they were younger, that he had had a crush on her or something. It makes more sense that they might marry. I guess I trust him a little better after noticing that. And rereading the part where Esben died, it felt so final, I feel like he won't come back in the next book(although I really wish he would).

I am so glad that it is coming out in less than a year! Mr. Peterson said it may be coming out early spring next year!

I'm more than 99% sure that Esben will not be coming back. As much as I would love to see that happen, I don't think it would work for the story.

*gasps* REALLY?! Last I'd heard, it wasn't until Christmas next year! :shock:

One of the families at my church has just started reading this series and loves it!

Be wary of your habits, for they become your character. Pray over your character; strive to mold it to the image of Christ, because your character will shape your destiny.

Ideas can germinate from the smallest seeds. Collect those seeds, and let them grow in the back of your mind. You may be surprised by what finally blooms.

When God takes something from your grasp, he's not punishing you. Instead, He’s opening your hands to receive something better. The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.

Awesome A.M! lol, I've been sending the first book in the series as a birthday gift to people who I thought might like it. I've given it to like 3 people already for their birthdays! Only two of them have read it/are almost done reading it, but that's because the third doesn't read much. But he does like what he's read of it.

LOL, I 'met' fellow fans who started visiting our church when I was skipping--the first time I intentionally skipped church, btw--to see an AP concert (and meeting him, talking to him, getting writerly advice...well, listening as he gave another fan writerly advice...) They found out where I was and were rather jealous. XD
