This was a fun adventure in the land of Redwall.

I was a bit confused to start with, as I didn't expect the format it took, but once I settled in, I really appreciated the way Jacques told the story. 

There were loads of twists, turns, and obstacles throughout the plot, keeping everything exciting. 

I also enjoyed the characters, especially Gonff and Beau (I have a soft spot for the hares). However, by the end, there were so many of them, I had a hard time keeping them all straight. It might take another read or two to really keep everyone in their places.

Overall, I was glad I read this one!
