Mouse Guard: Baldwin the Brave and Other Tales, Volume 1 by David Petersen
4.0
I love this kind of fable-adjacent, folkloric storytelling, especially when done from the POV of animals (it's a huge part of why I love Watership Down as much as a I do), so it's no surprise I really enjoyed this. Characterization has been the weak point of this series as a whole, and this kind of storytelling makes that a negligible fault.
It's also nice to see some of the characters from past books listening to these stories. Last time I read a Mouse Guard was six years ago somehow so I'm a little hazy on the details, but I'll assume it ties in neatly. The art, as always, is excellent. There's some different stylistic stuff going on in this collection with two of the stories so that's interesting as well. Glad I got around to this.
