Your least favourite Redwall book

[xenobia]

I loved them all

xenobia, pick a least favorite if you can.

I've overall been satisfied with the quality of the Redwall books, even the ones I didn't like as much were still better than most other books I read. But as I keep reading them I can't help but start to think "does this reach the high bar this other one set?" It's kinda unfair to be in that mindset since the series follows a formula closely, so once the initial thrill wears off, the books that are read later on might not seem as great. Kinda unfair to have a bar anyway since it would make me more critical of the books, when I should be grateful enough to be reading that great literature in the first place.

I'm a tad curious as to why the two people who voted for "Redwall" consider it to be the worst.  Speak up!  Why is the first book that starts it all, the worst for you?

[Tiria Wildlough]

Maybe Redwall didn't start it all for them?

I don't like Outcast of Redwall. It just didn't capture me like the rest of the Redwall books did. Plus Veil wasn't a really good character I thought.

Eulalia

I hated Doomwyte. It's the one and only Redwall book I can honestly say I didn't like one bit! I have several reasons for that....and I'll have to come back and state them later.

I also wasn't super fond of Outcast or Loamhedge. I found Loamhedge disappointing because I was hoping it would go back and tell the story of the original mice.

Oh, and Lutra, you should definitely try Rakkety Tam.

I kind of wish BJ had spent less time in Redwall and more time in Castaways...

Taggerung. It was rather boring, though I liked it more the second time I read it as I had a better connection with the characters. I gotta admit the later books seemed kinda repetitive and predictable though so I wasn't as big a fan of them. The last book, however upsettingly short and unexciting the final battle was, I was very impressed by, as it had more perspective into the villains and they actually had personalities outside of the cliche bad guy persona, something sadly lacking in almost all the books.

to me the first 5 to 8 books were great. and after triss it just went downhill fast and even the Rouge Crew was just dull for me.

[Tiria Wildlough]

When I read the summary of Loamhedge, I seriously thought the quality of Redwall villains was going down. I was scared that Brian Jacques was running out of ideas, but I was glad that it was just that book. PHEW!

[Ceteruler]

Too me, with the exception of Redwall, which is my least favourite, the Redwall books declined as more and more were written. The heroes just didnt seem so epic, and the character development wasnt as good.

[Tam and Martin]

To me, The Bellmaker everything except Slipp and Blaggut I didn't like.

[Ungatt Trunn]

I think that Marlfox is the worst Redwall book.

[Dannflower Reguba]

I hated Martin the Warrior for many a reason (I'm not going to bother re-stating them all over again).

We sure have a LOT of Loamhedge haters!  Never was a big fan of that one either, it lacked a lot of Jaques's ingenuity.

[Tam and Martin]

I think so too but it's not the worst
