A review by authoraugust
High Rhulain by Brian Jacques

2.0

Sigh. Back in the day, the Redwall series was one of the reasons I started writing, particularly things with plot. I probably should have just let that sleeping dog slumber, especially since Jacques recently passed away, but in my quest to read all the books I own that I haven't yet, I had to pick up "High Rhulain." Wow. Character development? Nonexistent. Plot? Rushed and haphazard. Emotional content? Suffice to say that a few important characters get killed, and when they do, everyone takes maybe five minutes to grieve. I still think back with fond memories on many of Jacques's books, and I think if I were to read them again I might rediscover why I loved this series so much. But the newer entries continue to disappoint me, and I'm not looking forward to reading "Eulalia!".
