Not my favorite from the series, but like an old friend time slipped away as I returned to my past with this series. I can't wait for my daughter to pick these up!

I'm working through the book right now. Vizka isn't the most cunning of villains, in fact he's just an overblown thug. I find it hard to believe that he managed to get his own ship. I'm surprising myself by saying it, but High Rhulain was better than this. I think Brian should stick to the Flying Dutchman novels -- he's clearly more interested in writing them.

Eulalia! by Brian Jacques – Some serious King Arthur vibes in this one. Brian Jacques likes to throw in British mythos! Enjoy the adventure! Happy Reading!

Gorath the badger is captured by evil pirates, his farm and home burned to the ground and all his kin slain. Maudie the hare maid has been sent from Salamandastron on a dangerous mission to find Gorath and bring him safely back to the Lord of the Badgers. Orkwil is a mischievous young hedgehog who has been cast out of Redwall for stealing. These three unlikely heroes team up to battle off a vermin horde and save Redwall Abbey!
I just adore all the Redwall books! What an absolute delight! This book has everything that I love about Redwall books. Ravenous hares, wise old badgers, adorable moles, fierce shrews, and of course brave warriors ready to defend all good beasts.
As with all Redwall books, I made sure to have a stash of snacks on hand since the characters are constantly eating the most delicious food. They have massive feasts and parties, but even a simple breakfast will make your mouth water with all the descriptions of pastries and fruit pies and cordials.
I was laughing and giggling at Maudie and all her banter with the shrews and otters. It's just wonderful, and gives so much depth to each culture that we encounter.
The action and pacing in this book are really excellent. The plot is always moving forward, but there are also scenes that take the time to show our characters grieving or resting or laughing together. It builds up the emotional components of the story, so that when you get to the big battles, we really care about what happens to the characters.

I will always love the Redwall books and for one of the later ones I really like it. still I feel much less emotional attachment to the characters of this story, which ive noticed is largely true of the later books. the first ones, the ones featuring Martin and Mattimeo will always be my favourites. still, this was a fun one to read, and I really enjoyed the Tabura and the way Gorath overcame all at the end.

By this point Brian Jacques books are very simuluar. I did love that the man character is a badger since they are my favorite animal.

I first read the Redwall books years ago and I still enjoy them when I recently re-read them. I love the world building and the creativity with which these animals were anthropomorphized. The level of description is really well done and very detailed. So adventurous and so very entertaining.
