if there is a dissertation out there analyzing all the species character archetypes …. i would like to read it!!! i realize this is common in the fantasy genre - elves are high culture and intelligent, dwarves are gruff, orcs are universally evil - but it is interesting to mark whole species as generally one way or the other, even if there are small examples of breaking type (like Blaggut, or Egbert)

3.5/5 The titular character is relegated to a minor role. Joseph is just along for the ride with the rest of the (LARGE) ensemble. I had a similar issue with Mariel in her self-titled Redwall entry, but this book took it to the next level. The story was good, and it was cool to see a new kingdom/country outside of Mossflower populated by good guys. We also finally meet a searat who is genuinely good, breaking the long streak of “all vermin are evil”.

So adorable and a complex story for a kids book but I couldn't get invested in what was going on

Another winner in the Redwall series! Admittedly, this story is a little more subdued than previous stories, but still a super fun adventure, as expected.
Food, humor and characters are brilliantly illustrated, and I found myself deeply attached and hungry throughout my read.
The villain fell a little flat for me, he didn't really seem to have any goals or presence besides being "evil." I believed this, but I was hoping for more of him as a character and I was sadly disappointed.
I absolutely loved the secondary story of the searats that escape to Redwall, it was a lovely little vignette that I greatly enjoyed. Besides this nice element, there was absolutely heartbreak - I really felt this story and super please throughout.
I recommend to fans of the Redwall series, fans of fantasy, and fans of fiction. This is a great book for readers of all ages!
