Loamhedge by Brian Jacques

4.0

Once again I feel like Jacques ended this book too soon. The scenes with the Wearet creature, Lonna Bowstripe fighting the vermin down to the last rat, Toobledum the dormouse and his pet lizard...I wish he had just continued the storyline rather than maybe worrying about time constraints or page numbers. I can't believe, however, how attracted I was to those brave warriors, Bragoon the otter and Saro the squirrel. I almost cried when I read how they died! And making up one final rhyme to add to Sister Amyl's secret was extremely heart-touching. I loved them - such memorable characters to add to the Redwall/Mossflower world.
I still love Redwall, I do, I enjoy visiting time and time again - but now that I'm older and reading through the series I finally realize that each book is a little similar. A conflict at the Abbey, travelers going on a quest accompanied by riddles, and finally warfare at Redwall and the travelers returning...sometimes all of a sudden, it seems.
Nonetheless, I enjoyed learning more about Loamhedge. If you're curious about the history before Abbess Germaine, you will enjoy reading this book.
