Review: 8/10

This book really opens the world of Redwall. The author really changes the main story off of Redwall and the people of the abbey. They still have a place in the story and the story is still tied to the abbey and its history but using the formula of these books. The author has ventured out into this new wide world but still keeping the story anchored in our little abbey. I love how this really makes you feel as if you live in Redwall. You would hear of stories of the surrounding area but even more so if your home had a part to play in the stories even if it was a small part.
