adventurous dark hopeful mysterious fast-paced

Great if you read it as a stand alone, but a bit of a rehash and pretty boring if you're reading your way through the series. Many of the major plot points--kidnapped Dibbun, stolen tapestry, befriending an injured bird, voyage to the centre of the lake for example--are repeats of adventures in other books. We do see new villains in the masters of camouflage and misdirection, the Marlfoxes. I believe it has the highest body count of any of the Redwall books though. Death everywhere.
