Our view
“On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness” opens “The Wingfeather Saga” with a playful family fantasy to share with children. Some readers find Andrew Peterson’s story clever and touching and are drawn into its world at once; others cannot warm to the deliberately jokey tone, which is there from the opening background notes. It is the first of four volumes, so the story carries on well beyond this book.
