This entry is the first in the series that truly gives the entire "Redwall" experience. Multiple story lines that come together in interesting ways, the Abbey facing an internal threat, young heroes forming lasting bonds, unlikely allies, and as always wonderful feasts and season name days. 

Jacques is a true master story teller, this is the type of yarn that is told around a campfire with good food and drink near at hand. He finds his stride, and his pose in this novel, and rarely misses it after. An page turning entry in the series and one of my favorites!
