Narration To 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.

After all of those wonderfully depressing books I read in the winter, I was quite ready for my Redwall fix. And there are still at least five Tales of Redwall that I haven't yet read (I believe there are 21 or 23 altogether).This is one of the tales which branches out beyond the borders of Mossflower, even further than Salamandastron, the mountain of hares and badgers. The climax of this tale takes place on Green Isle, an island on the Western Sea to which a young Redwall ottermaid must sailAnother good book from one of my favorite authors of children's books
High Queen Rhulain is my favorite out of all of the Redwall series. It has such a good plot. In a foresty place, a young otter and her friends live in Redwall Abbey. The young otter helps two visitors and discovers somethings about herself and the Abbey. She and her father and friend go out to find someone to help her cross the sea. Which is where she needs to go to . She gets someone to take her, but whats in store for her is quite a lot. The characters in the book are great. Even though some
This series of books continues to be a bug a boo for me. They are predictable, they are boring, the character development is flat, and each book remains a testament to the ongoing financial grab for a writer committed to a series. What I mean to say is the author's persistence in writing a series that long should have been shuttered, proves that the author's financial needs outweigh the world's literary once, therefore you have a book that is right, and supremely boring. I really could read 3 to

Am I the only person who noticed these five things?1. Why were the cat guards unable to get an simple axe and break down the door to get Leatho at the end? It seems like I remember a similar scene in The Bellmaker, where the vermin did exactly that in order to pursue those hidden within.2. By looking at the map, I see no reason why all the characters needed to climb up on the lip of the crater in order to reach the summer holt. Why didn't they just go around that awful place?3. Did Tiria's
A decent installment to the Redwall series.
