I didn't even realize that there was a follow-up to Watership Down, and I was giddy when I realized I could read more. I read Watership Down about 5 years ago after watching the movie with my dad a lot in my childhood. I was elated when I realized I could learn more about El-Ahrairah and LOVED those sections.
I was also very happy with how Adam's wrote more about our main cast, and added some awareness of the gender imbalance. I think too many fantasy writers, especially of his time, leaned on the argument of "That's how it was in ancient times," or "its just nature," to disregard writing good female characters. I loved the females in the first book, and thought the chapters here about the female run warren and Hazels immediate acceptance and welcoming of an equal voice in his owsla.
So happy I found this book.
