A must read - By: gigglegirl, 15 Nov 2005 
As the third instalment in 'The Edge Chronicals' this is the best I have read so far. I have only read the first three books but I am serching on Amazon for the next few books for my Christmas present.
Thisis about young skypirate captain Twig (one of the amazing names in this book) who sets out to find his skypirate captain, father nicknamed Cloud Wolf & his lost crew that he lost in a terrible storm. He takes on an orphan (young Coulquape)as his aprentice. Together they set out to find Twig's crew & save the floatng city of Sanctaprax from the trecharous Mother Storm.
I am 12 years old but I think anyone above that age would enjoy this book too. With Paul Stewart's amazing way of writing & Chris Riddell's enchanting black & white drawings this is a book you will want to read over & over again. Thumbs up to this book!!!
Excellent!!! - By: , 13 Jul 2004 
The Edge Chronicles are Dr. Seuss in novel form. They are just brilliant. Paul Stewart creates wonderful creatures & natural laws & describes them in such a way that you don't even think to question them. Chris Riddel's illustrations are just as wonderful. Midnight over Sanctaphrax, continuing the harrowing adventures of young sky pirate captain Twig & introducing scholar/apprentice Cowlquape, is by far one of the best Edge Chronicles in the series. So happy reading, & to Paul & Chris: keep on writing!
brilliant - By: Luke Thornton, 09 Mar 2004 
Paul Stewart captures our thrill once again in his third title of the edge chronicles. His imagination goes beyond & takes us into the world of the edge. In the underground there are drunken trolls but in Sancthaphrax it is a clean place with enourmous buildings. Previous books from the edge chronicles were Beyond the deepwoods & Stormchaser. If you like fantasy read this book. Its a great read.
Better and better! - By: A. J. Watson, 19 Apr 2002 
I should say that I'm a little (?) older than most readers, but just as captivated by this fabulous writer.
The 3rd book in the series is the fattest one yet, maybe getting just a little too big for the younger reader... But anyone hooked on the previous two books will not care - they will only wish it were even longer!
Read the prequel to learn more about Cloud Wolf.
Paul stewart's imagination is unleashed in this episode - there are more strange creatures, people & beasts than ever - & Chris Riddell's illustrations get better & better - I WISH I could draw like that!
I can't wait for the next volume ... will it be about Twig or Cowlquape?
