"The story of Tiria, an ottermaid, visited by the legendary Martin the Warrior, sets out for Green Isle, where she has been summoned to be the queen of the otterclans, and to free them from the wildcat family that forces them into slavery- High Rulain!!!"
— Amy (5 out of 5 stars)
“As always, Jacques adds to the intrigue with several subplots boiling just beneath the surface—including infighting among Riggu Felis and his dysfunctional family, and anagrams and riddles that must be solved to complete Tiria’s story.”
— Booklist“Jacques combines action, poetry, songs, courage, and vivid descriptions to create a unique style. His characterizations are complex and show multiple sides of both adult and younger personalities. The pacing is well handled, especially in a book with three story lines that entwine.”
— School Library Journal“Brian Jacques’ latest epic is filled to the brim with captivating characters, feasts, quests, battles, and more. Human readers could learn a lot about loyalty, justice, and friendship from the animals in this tale…[A] spirited adventure.”
— Children’s Literature" I really enjoyed this one, it was very different from the other 'Redwall' books. I also liked the fact that the main character actually turned out to be royalty. I've always liked the 'rags to riches' or 'prince and pauper' stuff. "

— Melina, 1/6/2014" Been maybe five years since I've read a Redwall novel and they are still wonderful. Brian Jacques is an amazing and unique story teller and I will miss his talent. Only got a few more to read until there's no more :( "

— Ice, 4/23/2012" I love the Redwall series! "
— Sarahb., 3/28/2012" Not my favorite of Jacques' books. Follows the usual formula, but it feels more like a vehicle for songs and poems than a story. "

— Emily, 11/19/2010" This was an ok book. Reminiscent of Taggerung, to me. I read a ton of Redwall books when I was learning how to read and they were great for that age level. Now that I am older the generic characters and recycled storylines are unappetizing. <br/>Still great books for young readers! "
