Summary: Absoballylutly stunning!
Review: In this beautifully rendered prequel to Redwall, Brian Jacques tells of how Martin the Warrior came to Mossflower. Jacques uses masterful storytelling and high adventure in this story of Mossflower's own Revolutionary War. Martin and his friends, Gonff the mousethief and Dinny the mole, set off to find the ruler of the now famous mountain, Salamandastron. Meanwhile, Martin's friends mount a increasinly daring resistance to the wildcat ruler of mossflower. This book is far different from the other Redwall books, in that like "Martin the Warrior," Redwall has not been built. The characters in this story are believable, noble, and at times terribly gluttonous. Gonff the mousethief is perhaps the best character ever created by Jacques. Readers of Fantasy will love this book down to the last word.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: The second book in the excellently-written Redwall series.
Review: This book follows "Redwall" in the book series of the same name. The central character is Martin the Warrior, the legendary mouse warrior to whom a reference appears in every Redwall book. It tells readers how he obtained his famous sword and defeated the wildcat queen, Tsarmina. Before the arrival of Tsarmina's warlord father, Lord Verdauga Greeneyes, the inhabitants of Mossflower (a heavily wooded area) lived independently and peacefully. However, Verdauga and his large army storm through the woodlands and conquer them, setting up residence in a huge abandoned fort called Kotir. At the time that the story takes place, Verdauga is on his deathbed. Tsarmina poisons him and frames her gentle, just brother Gingivere as a murderer, ordering that he be locked up immediately. Just before this happens, Martin is also locked up for traveling through the territory while armed (although he was unaware of the law against armed travelers). His weapon is a rusty old sword that once belonged to his father. Cruel Tsarmina breaks the heirloom and hangs the hilt around Martin's neck so that he will never forget to obey the laws of Kotir. Instead, Martin vows to Tsarmina that one day he will kill her. She has him locked up in the dank dungeons of Kotir. After weeks of imprisonment, Martin gets a cellmate--the cheeky, personable Gonff, a kindhearted mouse who thieves food from Kotir to help the woodlanders, who are planning a revolt against Verdauga's and Tsarmina's rule. Gonff promptly escapes, taking Martin with him, and informs the woodlanders of Verdauga's death and Tsarmina's usurping of the crown. Martin becomes part of the resistance. He meets the stately badger Bella of Brockhall, whose family used to rule Mossflower before Verdauga conquered the area. Bella asks Martin, Gonff, and a young mole called Dinny to journey to an extinct volcano known as Salamandastron. Every male badger in Bella's lineage had gone to Salamandastron as soon as he came of age. Bella's father, Boar of Brockhall, had been at Salamandastron when Verdauga invaded Mossflower, and he had never returned in the years since. Bella believes that if her father returns, he can help the woodlanders overthrow Tsarmina... This book is every bit as good as "Redwall," and one of the best books in the entire series.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Mossflower
Review: This is in my opinion one of the best Redwall books. The story of a band of woodland creatures resisting the tyrannical reign of the evil wildcat queen Tsarmina, this book has lots of fighting and battle scenes. It is also the first book in which Martin the Warrior appears, the heroic mouse from the northern coast destined to free Mossflower from the cat's oppressive rule! This is the first Redwall book I ever read and it is one of my favorite books of all time! I would give it ten stars if I could!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Bravery, cunning, determination. Mossflower has it all
Review:

A masterful story of cunning, treachery, determination, and bravery. Brian Jacques' tale ofhow the Redwall Abbey came to be is truly a must-read for any fan of the Redwall series, and foranyone who has not read one of the Redwall books, Mossflower is a great place to start!

The story is full of riddles, songs, memorable characters, and one cannot forget the battles of the peace loving woodland creatures versus the evil troops under the command of the the merciless wildcat Tsarmina. The brave Martin, clever Gonff, the strong Skipper of the Otters and a plethora of other colorful characters make this book one not to miss. There's something for everyone inthis book, action, humor, love, mystery, and riddles that make the mind boggle!

Truly one ofBrian Jacques' best and most beautifully done works, also a fantastic tale for all ages! This was the first of Jacques' books that I ever read, and I've looked forward to any of his new books ever since

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best Redwall Book
Review: I first read this book when I was eleven, and seven years later it is still one of my favorite books. I do like it better than the original Redwall because it reads more like a fantasy than an old world childrens' story, which adds a deeper dimension to the characters and description.

The book is written in a charming descriptive manner, with lively and distinct characters that makes it entertaining for an older audience as well as younger kids. I can almost say that Redwall peaked at Book 2, which is probably not a good thing for the series. After the fifth book or so, the series goes into rapid decline, so the newer ones are not too good.

If you want to know which Redwall books to read, read Redwall, Mossflower, Mattimeo, Mariel of Redwall, Martin the Warrior, and Pearls of Lutra. In my opinion, these are the best, and that you need not bother with the rest of them. Perals of Lutra is a newer one, but unexpectedly good. At this point, Brian Jacques needs to revive the series, and bring his books up to the level of Mossflower, or just end it all together.
