Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Just as wild and woolly as its predecessors…The only thing that’s certain is that the fur will fly and numerous feasts will be noisily consumed in yet another fur-tastic tale from beloved British storyteller Brian Jacques.” Amazon.com, editorial review
“This full-cast production of the brave critters and evil vermin is, like all of Jacques’ other productions, utterly splendid. The narrator’s thick brogue sets the tone for the cast to bring all these folks to life. The numerous songs are performed with great animation and verve, being in themselves worth listening to. The musical transitions between sides and chapters are an added special touch to this enchanting tale.” AudioFile
“Fans of the Redwall series will be mightily pleased by Jacques’ new action-packed adventure…The action never lets up, the bad guys are satisfyingly evil, and the Abbeybeasts seem like old friends. The story is laced with humor, the feasts are mouth-watering, and the language is rich. Yep, it’s another good yarn.” Booklist
“A fine blend of dramatic and comic action…Jacques weaves a vivid tapestry, capably mingling several plot strands and creating a myriad of colorfully limned characters…Even the smallest squirrelbabe and tiniest shrew come alive as memorable characters. Amidst the sieges, frantic chases, and full-scale battle scenes, there are moments of levity, rapturous descriptions of feasts, and heroic ballads, humorous ditties, and lullabies.” Horn Book Magazine
