    About this ebook

    Edda is a 'virtual' world ruled by the electronic intelligence of Lord Scanthax. Penelope is a teenager ensnared in Edda. Can she uncover the truth about her human past and gain her freedom? And are there other humans still 'out there'? A fast-moving fantasy from the author of internationally acclaimed Epic and Saga. Edda has all the exciting elements of avatars, mythical beings, magic, and cataclysmic battles, but also challenges the older reader to think deeply about humanity and power. 'A captivating page-turner.' School Library Journal, starred review of Epic, Conor Kostick's first novel.

      There are more virtual worlds than Epic. After Saga, a new invader is making things difficult. Cindella and Ghost and her friends want to put a stop to the invasion of their world. Meanwhile, a human girl named Penelope designs weapons for her world, Edda. The last book of the trilogy is quite good, and I felt bad for Penelope. The non-violence of Erik's world was a bit annoying, however. Peace doesn't work, haha.
