"i would love to know how brian jacques can continue to produce that continue to grip and completely hook his readers. admittedly some of them are a bit hit and miss, but not this one. as soon as you thought the characters were safe, something else would happen that would put them in danger again. some could say that jacques was just trying to find something to move the plot along and these events were essentially unnecessary. this could be true, but after 20 years after writing in this world, jacques can pull it off as a usual aspect of his books."
— Jennifer (5 out of 5 stars)
“A riveting, stand-alone read.”
— Barnes & Noble, editorial review“Readers won’t want to miss this installment in the Redwall Chronicles, which, as usual, is filled with colorful characters and high adventure.”
— Booklist“Jacques and a full cast have fun reenacting this installment in the Redwall Chronicles…Jacques narrates the drama with a bard’s resonant intonation, describing ferocious fights and soothing bedtime tales…Appealing instrumental and choral interludes add to the atmosphere.”
— Booklist (audio review)“Fans of the series will not be disappointed as the historical events of Mossflower Wood, Salamandastron, and Redwall Abbey continue to evolve.”
— School Library Journal" Very good book :) But poor Brian... Did you hear that he died? yeah, i thing there's 1 or 2 more books he was editing at the time, but that REALLY SUCKs he was a good writer... "
— Dan, 1/30/2014" I know there are onlya few books left in the series, sadly, so I am treasuring each of them as I go along. "
— Sue, 1/28/2014" As much as it pains me to write this, "Eulalia" is the worst Brian Jacques book I have ever read. It's very, very sloppy. Almost like someone else wrote it. :( "
— Andrew, 1/27/2014" i loved this whole series! more magical than babysitters club, but also realistic descriptions and amazing adventure set. "
— Kelsey, 1/19/2014" This is truly another great masterpiece from Brian Jacques's Redwall series! This time it is about a rebellios young haremaid sent out from Salamandastron to find a badger warrior with the bloodwrath. "
— Gabrielle, 1/3/2014" Again, one of those books that do nothing for the series, and can stand alone. It is kind of boring as it is a somewhat scaled down version of Lord Brocktree and Martin the Warrior. Overall I'd say skip this book and you'd be missing very little. "
— David, 1/2/2014" The story is another typical Redwall tale, with all the same elements as its predecessors: awesome badger lords, mad military hares, irritable Guosim, starchy sickbay mouse matron, incorrigible abbey youngster who (frustratingly) ends up with disproportionate privileges after reforming his ways, etc etc. In this book, however, it was the generally poor standard of writing that really surprised me. In particular, but the author's very bad use of commas in many sentences did not make for a smooth read. I found it a very strange thing, because I don't remember any of the other Redwall books having the same problem. "
— Josie, 12/24/2013" Yet another great edition to the Rewall series. "
— Myuu, 12/18/2013" I was enjoying it. I think the only reason I didn't like it more was because they are just written for a younger audience. It brought back wonderful memories, though! "
— Michelle, 12/10/2013" One of my favorite child hood fantasy series. I still love it and occasionally pick one out to read for a light and easy novel. I have read the series many times. "
— Hazel, 11/5/2013" As opposed to other Redwall books, I think this one is one of the better ones (mainly because one of the main characters is a hare). "
— Katie, 10/30/2013" Ok, I've read this series since I was maybe 9 or 10 (so far back I can't remember) and I admit that the plots are all pretty similar...but I still LOVE them! Good vs. evil, what could be better than that? "
— Julie, 9/6/2013" On the second read, I got goosebumps near the end of this one. Wow "
— Stephel, 7/14/2013" I felt that Eulalia! stayed true to the great formula that made Redwall great in the first place. Plenty of action and good story line to keep you busy. This is a good one! "
— Devin, 3/2/2013" By this point, his Redwall books have gotten very forumulaic. However, the unique bit for this book was a downtrodden, enslaved badger. RIP B.J. "
— Carewa, 2/6/2013" Quite a more dark sided, but as cultural as any other or more than Brian Jacques' books. "
— Paul, 1/24/2013" Enjoyed Redwall so much that I decided to listen to another Brian Jacques story while traveling in the car. This has the same cast of readers with the addition of many entertaining songs sung by various characters. "
— Louise, 9/17/2012" this was really good the only thing i didnt like was some of the characters "
— court, 9/3/2012" An addicting series you just cannot put down. "
— April, 7/21/2012" As usual, another masterpiece from Brian Jacques! I managed to tackle this in about 3-4 days, it was that good. I love his stories featuring hares and badgers, esp this time as the badger got a companion. "
— Rachel, 7/4/2012" not one of his best, but still worth reading "
— Elaine, 6/29/2012" I love redwall. There all the same epic journey tale, with new characters and different villians. Where they may always be the same, It's nice to know what to expect from a book, and I just adore reading about the food they eat. Just try it sometime. It's enought to make anyone hungry!!! "
— Mallory, 6/26/2012" I am still in the middle of it but it's really really good. There's a lot of battle and action and it's really exiting. "
— Ssupercool, 3/10/2012" Well, the book was all I hoped it to be. Everything was as it should be. "
— Jedidiah, 1/31/2012" This was my favorite book of the Redwall series. The characters were all unique and interesting. Gorath was a different character for a badger lord. It was nice to see a badger that could control the blood rath. I ended up reading this book in 2 days. I could not put it down. "
— Gretchen, 9/25/2011" This is really good because it show Martin the Warrior. But it is REALY sad in the end!!!! It is still really good. "
— Anna, 6/13/2011" good story as usual from this series, the audio books are great 7 "
— Rodney, 3/4/2011" It was an adorable book. Not something I'm really in to, but cute. "
— Adrienne, 3/1/2011" My very FAVORITE of the Redwall series! What's cool about this series is that you don't necissarily go in order to get it. "
