After years of knowing about the existence of "Redwall" I decided to give it a try. I went into this book expecting a quick read of a light-hearted children's book, but finished this book with a totally different experience. One of the highlights of this story is it's detailed world: Redwall Abbey and the surrounding world. This book feels very slow-paced, but not without purpose. Some of the foundations feel very traditional and the characters (mostly) static, but the purpose of the story really is the adventure itself. If your looking for a descriptive adventure, this book is a lovely choice. I've been picking up copies of other books in the series where I find them, as I finished "Redwall" intrigued enough by this detailed little world to want to read more stories within it.
