Marlfox by Brian Jacques
4.0
Another hit by Brian Jacques. I love visiting Redwall Abbey time after time again. "Marlfox" was one of my favorite Redwall stories as a kid! :)
This book was a little different - the antagonist was not just one, but a whole group of villains - brothers and sisters, all cruel and conniving. "Marmfloxes" - the Dibbuns call them!
As always, I enjoyed seeing previous characters in a whole new story - Cregga Rose Eyes, Gurrbowl, Friar Butty, among others - as well as meeting others. The duo Dann and Songbreeze are just wonderful. Skipper of Otters was great and amazing, as always. Hares are always a delight - Marlfox's hare was named Florian, and quite a card he was! I loved his relationship with the tiny infant Dwopple!
I didn't give this book five stars because to me it seemed like the ending was wrapped up way too fast, like Jacques just killed some of the villains too quickly at the end (and, of course, some of the good guys, too). Other than that, Marlfox was a delight to read.
