Martin the Warrior by Brian Jacques
4.0
Another Redwall winner! Martin's backstory was fascinating, and really helped set the stage for the founding of Redwall Abbey.
As usual, the food and characters were stellar. Especially the villains - Jacques has such a knack for creating fearsome villains! I loved the struggle between Badrang and Clogg - it was both amusing and believable, these two blackguards were so well-formed and incorrigible!
The depth of animal tribes (and actor troops) was fascinating, and Noonvale really brought Martin's dream of Redwall to life - both why he wanted to create it and why he couldn't have stayed there.
My only minor complaint was that the map wasn't always clear with the descriptions, and I found myself incorrectly tracking the journey a few times - this has not happened in previous books.
I recommend this book to all fans of Redwall, fantasy, or just a regular ole GREAT story!
