3.5 stars. It took me over 4 months to finish this, but I don't blame the book. This was another fun read in the series, but not necessarily a standout. I couldn't really get behind Scarum, which I found frustrating since he was such a prominent character. The other characters were great-villains included. I think if there was a clear, featured hero/ine (which based on the title you'd think would be Triss), but the narrative was so split and even when Triss's portion of the story was featured, she never really dominated the spotlight. I did enjoy the various layers of the story, and, of course, the food!
I recommend to fans of Redwall & fantasy in general - this is a great adventure read!

Not as exciting as The Sable Queen, but more succinct

story_goblin's review against another edition
I have discovered that I prefer to read Redwall books over listening to them. Jacques doesn’t always enunciate very clearly while narrating and some of the accents are difficult for my brain to decipher. Plus, I borrowed this from the library and wasn’t going to be able to finish it within the timeline.

Brian Jacques did it again! As usual, the story follows several different sets of characters. And as usual, every storyline is just as interesting and exciting as the next! Every time I read a Redwall book, I'm left wishing I could visit that beloved abbey. I'd recommend these stories to anyone, young or old.
