I finally read Lord Brocktree!

Lord Brocktree I aggre with you he is pretty down to earth compared to all the other BL

When I first read it I didn't even know that this was before everything else, and I wondered why there was no Redwall.

Well, Sierra, check out the mole speech in English and compare it to the Spanish translation, I suppose.  If it's not clear in Spanish, moles have a dialect unique to their species.

Lord Brocktree is the most recent book I've read from the series.  I love it because of the large numbers on each side and the many successful maneuvers by the Bark Crew, and the Blue Horderats were unique and memorable.  The impression I got of the book this time around was a lot different than the first time I read it, which was probably over 10 years ago.  (I've read it once or twice in between.) 

Thoughts

This time reading I found Jukka and Fleetscut's prolonged hostility more petty and nagging than anything else.  I can't help but like Jukka; I don't care for Fleetscut at all.  He acted like a child, and Woebee and Frutch were equally irritating.  I didn't used to like Bucko, but he was one of my favourites this time because of his humility, leadership, and determination.  I've always considered Dotti the protagonist of the book, despite the title, but I felt this time that after she defeated Bucko she almost fades into a minor character role.  Brog and Stiffener remain the great characters I remember them to be.

That's funny, I really liked Fleetscut and was okay with Jukka.
