I was reading it and thinking, "OMG THIS IS REDWALL with a really simplistic plot." Personally, I think Swordbird was a kind of cheap rip-off of Redwall, even if it wasn't inspired by the series. (But then again, there's only so much you can write about battling bird civilizations, I suppose. Swordbird wasn't terribly original about that either.)
