Lord Brocktree by Brian Jacques
3.0
(3/5★)
The Redwall books were a staple of my childhood reading. While the stories told are usually fairly formulaic throughout the series, there is a certain charm that each book has that still makes it an enjoyable and comfy read. The monstrous badger Lord Brocktree himself is possibly one of the most badass heroes Jacque's has ever created, and helps pave the way for the lore of the series considering that this book, chronologically, is the first. While the ending is great, the build up to it was very slow and almost difficult to get through at times - mostly because of certain dialects that are exaggerated and grating to read.
