Mattimeo by Brian Jacques

5.0

I can't remember exactly when I read Mattimeo the first time, but I was probably 10-12 years old, and I *do* remember absolutely loving it. Even after 25ish years, this time around, there were images and scenes I still remembered from my first read. The Redwall books were some of my first experiences with multi-plot stories that coalesced at the end, and I was gobsmacked by the concept. I liked this book better than Redwall the first time around, and I think that still holds true now; I found it more exciting and more heart-wrenching than the first in the series. Five stars for nostalgia and because this is a darned good adventure.
