BRBC week 6: Boiling with life
Prior to coming to your world—an adventure in itself, transdimensional immigration—most of my adventures happened in books. I thrilled to the accounts of Ollister Pembrick’s forays into the wilderness, his impressive disguisery, and his encounters with wildlife. I did wonder if perhaps he didn’t exaggerate or go a bit overboard. But imagine strolling about in […]

A review by the Bookbindery Guildmaster
Pete the Bookbindery Guildmaster wrote a release-day post for the animated film and I’m just now getting around to sharing it with you. Here’s how it starts: When Andrew Peterson and Chris Wall began talking about turning the Wingfeather books into an animated series, I remember thinking, Wow, that’s a great idea—but let’s be serious guys… […]

BRBC week 5: Stray dog
Is there one character you love most, or connect with more than the others? For me it’s Peet. I love the way Leeli sees people—Peet, but also Slarb and lost puppies and others who aren’t well-cared for. This passage, including both, tugs on my heartstrings. When Peet saw Leeli he relaxed and stood up, brushing […]

BRBC week 4: Part of being a man
This week we read chapters 18-22 of On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness. Not for the first time or the last, Janner’s heart suggests a way out of danger that goes against what he knows is right. But their way was barred. Standing in the doorway from which they had come was the […]

Wingfeather at Looking Closer
Jeffrey Overstreet, film critic and author of the wonderful fantasy series The Auralia Thread, writes: When my novel Auralia’s Colors was first published, it was promoted by the publisher, WaterBook Press, alongside the first novel of another fantasy author like myself: Andrew Peterson. That book was titled On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness. And so began The […]

BRBC week 3: “We won’t live in fear.”
This week we read chapters 12-17 of On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness. A couple of passages stood out to me—the scene on Charney Baimington’s lawn, and the one below. They both seemed to say to me, the stories are true. Janner remembered with a stab of panic that later that day he and […]

Fan art process video
A few weeks ago one of you Featherheads happened upon a breathtaking video and passed it along to me. An artist named J.N. Garrett was captivated by the three Igiby children and their story and wanted to make some fan art. As she told me when I emailed her, she thought of this piece as […]

BRBC week 2: Dragon song
This week we read chapters 6-11 of On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness. Chapter 10, “Leeli and the Sea Dragons,” is my favorite chapter to read aloud. I think today I’ll introduce you to the dragons. Hidden in their cleft of rock, Janner forgot about the Fangs. He forgot about their desperate need to […]
