A cautionary tale about the perils of chasing dreams, Heaven's Edge tells the lyrical and semi-mythical story of an island ravaged by war. Everything, from the whitewashed underground city of Carnival to the lofty paradise of Farindola, is rendered in exquisite detail, and while the narrative may seem to miss out big chunks of explanation, you find it only adds to the magic of a deeply compelling love story. Right up to the explosive finale.
