I haven't read this in a while and I don't quite remember where I left off, but I just read Chapter 23-25. They mostly consisted of someone nearly drowning in mud, racism against lizards for some reason (who were doing nothing) and firefighting. It was alright I guess, but nothing super memorable. It is fun reading about the battle tactics in these books though.

I notice when a book is mediocre but decent I get a little antsy looking for interesting writing details, negative or not. It is somewhat obvious jacques wrote this redwall time period with the mindset of needing the characters to be different enough from the redwall/mattimeo cast to avoid confusion. The plot seems to be rushing itself a bit. Suddenly a magic sword appears and mariel is out on a quest already. idk

Pretty good so far. Interesting how this book is inbetween mossflower and redwall. I don't think a single character featured in either of those books is alive here, they mention being related several generations down from mossflower protagonists. I like how jacques doesn't give the whole timeline away, kind of a puzzle connecting what happened when.
