Ruby’s comments from the Redwall group.

Finished yesterday. Yes, Tsarmina is a better antagonist than Cluny. The Gloomer creeped me out a bit, in a good way if that's possible.

I'm about halfway through now, but during even the first few chapters I liked it more than the first book.

Starting Mossflower tonight!

Good to know that Mossflower is thought of as a better story, as I also found Matthias' character lacking. It seemed like he missed a majority of the action! I'm planning on starting Mossflower soon.

I skated as a kid but it was casually around the neighborhood and at the local roller rink and stuff. Now I'm actually going to learn proper techniques

Just got some new inline skates, so I've been re-picking up the hobby. I hope to read Redwall #2 in the coming months.

I looked at it when you sent the link in a message a few months ago but I get kinda lost when I try to explore forums. So yeah I got lost (mentally lol).

I plan to read Mossflower (Redwall #2) in the next few months.

Good to hear that. Cheers to Jacques

Just finished. Here are my two closing notes:
-It seemed at the beginning that Matthias would be a far more clumsy character as the book goes on, partly owing to his too-large sandals. But he quickly leaves this reputation behind, with no mention of his shoes again.
-I like the existence of Jess and Mr. Squirrel. Jess is a strong female character who can strategize with Basil Stag Hare, climb the abbey's walls, and be fearless in battle; but she can also be a good mother to her son. Although she's not my favorite character, I very much appreciate her. Same goes for Mr. Squirrel. He fully supports his mate, consoles their worried son, and does more domestic tasks such as help Cornflower in the kitchen and feed the abbey's defenders.

I have no idea who that is lol but that's okay. One day I shall know!

Who's your favorite, Ally046?

Maybe Friar Hugo is my favorite character in this first book. His descriptions sounds so cute; fat and with dimples and everything.

I'm about 80% through with my first read of Redwall. I have to admit the first half didn't really thrill me, but I'm enjoying the second half more. Maybe because they got to the first battle so quickly.

Hello everyone! My name is Ruby, and I am about to start reading the first Redwall book for the first time! My favorite series growing up was Warriors by Erin Hunter, so I'm thinking these two may be similar? Even if it's not, still going to read this obviously. I had no idea Redwall existed before 3 months ago. I was actually browsing through the city library in Guangzhou, China and came across Redwall. Thanks for allowing me in this group.
