Mossflowerremains one of my favorite all time, and it is the one that I probably read the most. There was a time when I carried it around in my backpack religiously throughout school, reading it over and over again.

[Ashleg]

Someone should try to guess my favorite character from this book. Anyone. Take a guess.

[Hickory]

Argulor?

[Ashleg]

HOW DEAR YOU MENTION THAT FEATHERED FLUFFBRAIN!

[Hickory]

Tsarmina?!

[Ashleg]

I-if I say anything bad about Her Royal Highness Tsarmina she'll have my head for sure!
Milady's great indeed, but I was referencing somebeast else...

...Here's a clue.
Who's the most handsome, amazing, awe-inspiring pine marten to ever step paw on this planet?
Don't you dare say Ublaz!

You can't spell awesome without him...

[Hickory]

It's the one horde member from Mossflower, right? He was super unimportant.

[James Gryphon]

Ashleg was the horde's senior captain, and after he was gone his position became like a revolving door, so even though he didn't do much himself I'd think he was a little bit important.

[Hickory]

Ashleg was more of an advisor, Cludd was the Captain.

[James Gryphon]

According to the Redwall wiki they had several 'captains' (admittedly of different levels of importance), but Ashleg was the most senior officer in the army besides the ruling family.

Flipping through the pages of my copy now, but Brian has his trademark elusiveness in effect as I look for details. Get back to you later.

It was absolutely beautiful. It was the first book I read that had Martin alive and well in it. Of course, I loved him - who doesn't like Martin?
I delighted in the adventures, in the characters - Martin was great, Gonff and the other side characters were likeable, Lady Amber and Skipper were cool, Bella was wonderful, the babies were actually not annoying, and I loved Gingivere! Throughout the book, I pictured a golden, sunlight atmosphere.

@James Gryphon Could my previous thread about Mossflower be merged with this thread?

I loved this book because of the espionage in it. The events in Mossflower were exciting; Martin's journey was less so, but it brought Timballisto into the story. He's one of my favourite characters in the series, as is Gingivere.
