Av o' zem!

[Tam and Martin]

What is your favorite redwall book?

The "one" where they go on an journey ... or maybe the "one" where they defend the Abbey. 


By the way, the Grammar Police will arrest you - that should be "Which is you favourite Redwall book?". 

My family calls me the Grammar policeman because I always correct if they use bad grammar

[Gonff the Mousethief]

After finishing Eulalia, I found that it was quite a goo book. I thought it would be a Lord Brocktree repeat, but to my surprise, it was not! A great plot, characters, and storyline. I will add it to my favorite list!

[Russa Nodrey]

I voted for...

The Legend of Luke
The Long Patrol
Lord Brocktree
Marlfox
Taggerung

[LT Sandpaw]

Ahem
The Long Patrol of course, that one is just great.

Massive armies, warrior squirrels crazy, badgers and its a sequel.

Can't get much better then that.

It's been a while sense I read some of these. I wish I could change my votes.

I know that this topic has been silent for like seven months, but I just wanted to give some thoughts on the five books I voted for. Plus it seems like this topic tends to get revived a lot, so I figure it's okay. Anyway, here are my picks:

#5: The Bellmaker
I'll be perfectly honest here; this one's mostly on the list because of Blaggut, who happens to be my favourite character in the whole series (he's just so adorable!). It's also a pretty cool book otherwise; it has a fairly unique main villain and we get to explore new places, which are two things that I always appreciate in a Redwall book.

#4: Rakkety Tam
It's been a while since I read this one, but it's definitely the Redwall book that's currently highest on my "to reread" list; I just remember it being a really awesome, intense book. This one also has the two main things I look for in a Redwall book; a unique villain (insane cannibal wolverine!) and a hero with an arc (goes from being a mercenary in service to an idiot king to the champion of Redwall).

#3: The Sable Quean
Criminally underrated, this one; it's just a really solid, enjoyable read. Plus, again, we have a new type of villain with a unique strategy, and a protagonist with a bit of an arc (starts the book as an aimless, irresponsible prodigy, and ends the book as a true hero). Of the last four books Brian wrote, I'd say this is definitely the best one. And of course, this one sports the lovely chapter art of Sean Rubin.

#2: Mossflower
Well, this one does have Gonff (my second favourite character in the whole series) and one of the best appearances of the bats (my favourite real-life animals), so I may be just a tad biased here. It is the second novel Brian wrote, so there are some bits of clumsy prose in this one, but other than that it's just an awesome, fun book all-round.

#1: Martin the Warrior
Whoo... What do I even say about this one? That it's one of the most interesting and thematically-complex Redwall books? That it has one of the most delightful bad guy characters in the whole series (Tramun Clogg!)? That it contains one of the most ruthless gut-punch scenes of my childhood (aside from that one scene in The Neverending Story, anyway)? Whatever way you scratch it, this has got to be my favourite Redwall book.

Other honourable mentions: Marlfox, Taggerung, The Long Patrol (second-highest Redwall book on my "to reread" list), Lord Brocktree.
