Quotes
-
“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.”

High Rhulain Listener Reviews
-
" 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. "

" Not my favorite of Jacques' books. Follows the usual formula, but it feels more like a vehicle for songs and poems than a story. "

" 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! "
