Another winner in the Redwall series! Admittedly, this story is a little more subdued than previous stories, but still a super fun adventure, as expected.
Food, humor and characters are brilliantly illustrated, and I found myself deeply attached and hungry throughout my read.
The villain fell a little flat for me, he didn't really seem to have any goals or presence besides being "evil." I believed this, but I was hoping for more of him as a character and I was sadly disappointed.
I absolutely loved the secondary story of the searats that escape to Redwall, it was a lovely little vignette that I greatly enjoyed. Besides this nice element, there was absolutely heartbreak - I really felt this story and super please throughout.
I recommend to fans of the Redwall series, fans of fantasy, and fans of fiction. This is a great book for readers of all ages!

One of my all time favorite series! I love each and every one! A great book for young adults, and adults alike! I'm in college, and still read these, and enjoy them each! Good for animal lovers, adventures, and those who just like a good tale of good over evil!

Jacques is a storyteller with an ear for language and dialogue, and an inner sense of pacing as rollicking as his best adventures. I never tire of these characters, nor of these books. Bellmaker is one of favorites.
