Mariel of Redwall by Brian Jacques
4.0

Let it be known that I have read most of the Redwall series before in my childhood. This past summer I challenged myself to read them all again in the order in which they were written.

I recently finished Mariel of Redwall. It is different than the previous three in that a portion of the plot is set in the Isle of Terramort, an island separate from the land mass Salamandastron and Redwall are on. It's the first (in publishing order) to deal more in depth with searats. It is also the first to have the main character as a female.

I have come across a few typos (Bladegirt v. Bladegrit) as well as character switches. The plot and characters are predictable with an understanding of the series. But if you're just looking for a fun read about heroes, battle, adventure, and the pursuit of peace, I'd highly recommend this book.
