Chronicle In Favor Of Books High Rhulain (Redwall #18)
One of the more generic Redwall books. The characters were even less developed than normal; I think this can be blamed on the fact that there was action taking place in as many as five different locations simultaneously (Redwall books usually have only three at once), so there were fewer scenes than normal dedicated to each set of characters.Tiria annoyed me greatly. She was never really a part of the main story because she was just a very young Abbeymaid with no experience. In most scenes, she had nothing else to do but chat about her destiny with the characters who were actually driving the story. She was completely ignorant of everything to do with Green Isle and with warfare (except for the occasional use of the sling), so she just stood back and looked pretty while other characters got developed.
Banya, another ottermaid who was more of a secondary character, did a lot more for the story. I found her infinitely more interesting as a battle strategist and a cool, collected warrior fighting for her freedom, able to keep her calm even after her brother was slain. I wish the book had been about her instead. She certainly was much more capable of being queen.
But I guess that's the most realistic part of the whole book. Hereditary monarchies are one of the most absurd forms of government because they give one family the power to rule regardless of its members' abilities. If Redwall was real, Tiria's rule would be a failure. Foreign queens are inevitably resented.

The deaths broke my heart and yet they were beautiful too. Brave hearted warriors dying for their friends, for the innocent for the defenseless. Tiria was an amazing strong female character and had such an amazing support group too. The hares were priceless and perilous as always and the otters so self sacrificing as they fought for their freedom. Brian Jacques never ceases to amaze me with his fascinating, beautiful stories of love, bravery, honor, valor,
A decent installment to the Redwall series.

"When autumn's day grows old, sad orchard leaves do fall. Dawn breaks o'er silent gardens, bereft of sweet birdcall. Stark winter's dirge then wails, until the earth appears, white clad 'neath drifted dunes, whilst trees bear crystal spears. My chamber is a refuge here, against the snowbound night, a flickering cave of crimson gold, made warm by firelight, where images are conjured, of friends I used to know. I battled and I marched with them, one dusty long-ago. I see them now arise again, in
It gets better every time!
When writing a review it is imperative to remember the demographic the book is aimed towards. With that in mind, Brian Jacques did not write for adults, and this was no exception. The book is an enjoyable read, and the few plot holes it had should be overlooked since most children would not even notice such things.The book starts off enjoyable as we meet Tiria, Leatho, and a few other main characters alongside a bit of backstory. The book makes no attempt at portraying a gray area between good,
