When I was younger I quite liked this series - I very much enjoyed what I read but only read a few of the books and did so out of order. I reread Redwall this year hoping it would hold up as an adult and sadly it really didn't. I think part of it is its age - I had no idea it was so old, though it definitely doesn't read like most modern children's books. The writing is dense and is the main reason this book took me THREE months to read. I don't think this is a bad book and if I magically became eight years old again I would probably still love it but nothing about this book appeals to me now which I found very sad.
