Favorite book about Martin

[Cheesethief]

What is your favorite book about the original Martin? Mine is personally Mossflower because of the great plot, characters (Dinny, gonff). I also like MTW because of the battles. All three are near the top of my favorite Redwall books in general.

There might be a topic like this already,  but I vote for Martin the Warrior because it gives us great background into the warrior of Redwall.  With that you learn how he became a founder of peace and why he changed.  Without this great story, you actually know very little about Martin.

yeah they are all above average redwall books. Luke shouldve been more than just 1/2 his own book, though.

Mossflower is the best

Mossflower is the best

I agree! MTW has better battles though, barely.

The legend of Luke is my personal favorite, however, it's not really about Martin. Hence, the legend of Luke

[Skipper]

yes but we're talking about books with martin the 1st in

The legend of Luke is my personal favorite, however, it's not really about Martin. Hence, the legend of Luke

are you going to vote for it then? Legend of Luke still has 0 votes.

Honestly Mossflower was my favorite, due to the fact that it tells you how martin came to mossflower and how he became one of the Founders of Redwall. Plus, it introduced one of my favorite Characters....  Gonff.

Martin the Warrior.  Mossflower is a wonderful story with great characters but Martin the Warrior had so much sadness and heroism, and an amazing final battle.  The slaves finding freedom, Felldoh's death, the Fur and Freedom Fighters' last stand, Rose, Martin finally defeating Badrang and making him beg for his life...

Not to mention all the funny bits, like Clogg, or the part with the flurgy twinj

Honestly, I had forgotten that Felldoh Dies untill after I recently re-watched the TV series. I still think that that part was somewhat sad, but Rose dying is more sad to me since I had read Mossflower and The legend of Luke before I read Martin the warrior, so I had gotten to love Martin as a character and seeing (or reading) him getting his heart broken and then his reaction to her death is just really sad to me. For some reason I had a feeling something was going to happen to her, since she is not in Mossflower or anything. But it was just sad, and I do not like being sad, and so that is why Mossflower is my favorite book about Martin; and not Martin the Warrior.

ah be'hm thinkin' Mossflower is, wot wot:

MOSSFLOWER ALL THA WAY

Hmm, I voted but forgot to post. I voted for "Martin the Warrior". He was a brash young fighter which made him more interesting than the usual mature righteous hero, and he had a great relationship with Rose. I guess I think of Martin as a tragic character, he won but at a great cost. The Martin in "Mossflower" was more of a typical hero and more restrained... not something I remember as much. I did like how in "Legend of Luke" he was bothered by his past, bringing up that tragic quality again, but... the book wasn't really about Martin, it was more about Luke, and what we saw of Martin wasn't that much different than he was in "Mossflower" (mainly in that he was making playful banter with Gonff. It's good, but Martin shines more when he's tortured or angry).

My favorit is Mossflower because we are first introduced to Martin in it and we see things how he see's them. Not from a slaves point of view or a depressed mouses point. We get to see it from a warrior set on revenge point of view.
