Mariel of Redwall

Brian Jacques

3.91 AVERAGE


I remember this being one of my favorite of the Redwall books because of Mariel’s story and Hon Rosie and the hares being the women and heroic. It has some good surprises and epic battles like any Redwall book. My daughter like the Dibbuns and the hares the best.

Now I feel like I need to research the family trees of the creatures to see who was related.

Great as usual! Wonderful storyteller!

best part of this book for sure was when the toddlers stole the cook's biggest knives and used them to cut the ropes the attacking vermin were using to climb up the walls, sending the vermin falling to be impaled by rocks or crush their friends with their bodies, killing them both, as the toddlers GIGGLED WITH GLEE.

There is very much a pattern in Jacques books. Adventure, Quests, Feasts, Triumph, Battles. But I can't help love it all. I want to try and make some of the woodlandy food!

This was another average work of Brian Jacques

This was decent if not outstanding, I don't think the story of this one is on the same levels as most of the others.

Gabool totally losing his shit with the Bell, and becoming somewhat unhinged did make me laugh at times and the full cast audio, as always gives the story a star on its own
