This fifth installment in the Redwall series takes things up a notch, in my opinion. We have half a dozen different plot lines, which are all interesting and all fairly fast-paced. I found myself easily invested in all of the different stories, as well as all of the many main characters. And when these stories began to finally all tie together, I found it immensely satisfying. There’s a lot of action here, and some major character death, so young readers should be prepared going in. I still love this series. It makes me think of classic fantasy like Wheel of Time or similar series, but for children and featuring anthropomorphic animals. While not perfect, it’s a wonderful series that is holding up well to rereading as an adult. And, as always, the food descriptions were absolutely incredible. Don’t read these books while hungry!

Super cute adventurous story following a few groups of animals as they search, fight, and hunt! Very lord of the rings and I was surprised at how many battle scenes have death in them. Definitely a kid’s book still, but older.
