This was a great book. Mariel is a great heroine, and I'm glad to see Jacques writing strong female characters who have warrior hearts, not just leaving those things as male attributes. :) I'm sensing a theme with badgers being the big, strong, tough characters and mice constantly underestimated. :)
Still, this is a good series. And at the end of this book, I actually had a bit of a tremble of happiness when the travelers arrived at Redwall. :) These would make great movies. If I have children, I think I'll read them these books.

My son and I continue our trek through Woodland Creatures Game of Thrones!
I loved Brian Jacques - his stories were some of the first "chapter books" I read in 1st/2nd grade - I simply devoured his books and read them over and over.

It's always wild how much murder there is in these books. This is one of my favorites of the series because of Mariel, even though she doesn't get the sword.

This was one of the earlier Redwall books I read. I liked the characters of Mariel and her father, Joseph the Bellmaker. Someday I plan to re-read these from the beginning, because they've sort of passed me by.
As a nerdy 12 year old, I'd raced through Redwall and Mattimeo at school and had to request all the other books at the public library. Mariel arrived first and quickly became my favourite. She's a plucky girl mouse that faces everything that comes her way from pirates to slavery to a giant lobster and amnesia with a grin and bravery. She's fierce and rough and tumble and ready to whack anyone that wrongs her with her knotted-rope Gullwhacker. In this book she befriends some of the best hares in the Redwall canon--the guffawing Honorable Rosie is a hoot and Tarquin the lovesick troubadour--and many others. Still a great read 20 years later!
Another solid Redwall book. Muriel is a delightful spunky heroine, but the side characters and villains inevitably steal the show in all Jaques work.
