Hi everyone, I'm a redwall fan (obviously). When I found there was a wiki on redwall, I decided to start editing it, so here I am. For no reason, now I'll just start rambling about the books.
Redwall
[edit]Definitely one of my all time favorites. Jacques has the battle and the quest perfectly intertwined, and the story itself is mythic. Despite a few cliches, it's one of my all time favorites.
Mossflower
[edit]Another great book. Although the plotline is not as consistent as Redwall, it still keeps them "on the same page", so to speak. Also great because it introduces Salamandastron.
Mattimeo
[edit]Decidedly inferior to most of the books in the series. The problem is not the writing, which may be better than its two predacessors (sic). Also, Warbeaks death is well done. The main problem is the fact that the two storylines never come together. Also, do we really need to hear about a grumpy cook defending his kitchen supplies?
Martin the Warrior
[edit]Another favorite. The rescue in the nick of time might be a cliche, but it still moves me when I read it. Also, Rose's death is a great explanation for Martin's "grimness". Great book.
The Legend of Luke
[edit]In my opinion, the worst book in the series. The second book ranks in the top of all stories, but the first and third book are pointless. We know Martin will come back, so why make any obstacles. The more I read it, though, the more I like the second book.
The Taggerung
[edit]This was originally my favorite, but now I start to dislike it. Deyna/Tagg is so powerful that the vermin really shouldn't bother attacking him. However, Cregga's death is good.
Loamhedge
[edit]This book bears some resemblance to Mattimeo in that the quest and defense of Redwall are not very well intertwined. Also, the scene at the end with the rhyme is the most anticlimactic I've ever read.
Re:Many Questions
[edit]Hi DocBob, I appreciate your enthusiasm on the Redwall Wiki. I am going to OK the template on user pages, {{user}}. Fan-Fiction is something I'm going to have to think about for the time being, however at the beginning of 2007 the Redwall Wiki will commence documentation of the Redwall Online Community. This is something that I do not want to occur prior to 2007; I've actually put a lot of effort into developing a lot of in in the rare spare time I have as I do not have books to document missing characters at my current location. The most important thing at the moment I feel is fleshing out stubs and creating new character articles. A majority of the books character listings are very incomplete. I think that people are uninspired to create new articles because most are already done, this is not the case! Thanks for asking, you can stick Weapons on the main page.
