This is one of my favorite Redwall Books. It follows a similar trope to others in the series. Hero goes on adventure, makes friends, fights evil stoats rats ect. Meanwhile back at Redwall Abbey other characters solve riddles.
That being said this was a genuinely fun plot, I liked the character development (it's not deep but better than others in the series)
I would recommend Redwall Books to new readers it was a great series for getting me into books when I was young. I still love going back to these books but find the plots so similar that reading a bunch in the row gets boring.
They are classics in their own right but the tropes become pretty obvious as you read through the books. They are adventurous, relaxing and genuinely sweet reads if you just want to relax and read about mice and squirrels with swords pick one of these books up for sure.
