A review by the_student_of_story
High Rhulain by Brian Jacques

3.0

This is one of the weaker Redwall books. The A and B Plots are interesting, and feature some awesome moments, but even they don't have a lot of oomph. The C Plot is lacking somewhat more than usual, even with one distinct character that I do like a lot. The villain is neat, but not great. The main character doesn't get as much time to shine as several others surrounding her, and it all boils down a little too simply in the end. That said, this also has one of the better B plots in the series, and its characters and moments elevate the story, including at the points when it intersects with the other plotlines. As I've said before, it's not like Brian Jacques to write a fully "bad" story anymore. This is still good.
