"This was an awesome book. For his last book, though he didn't know it was, Mr. Jacques did great with this one. It wasn't as redundant as the others in my opinion. Good job, Brian Jacques and may you rest in peace!"

    — VOYA
  • “The latest entry in [this] prolific, popular series will please devotees...Side stories and alternating characters’ experiences add intrigue, suspense, and depth to an absorbing, sure-to-be-requested read.”

    — Booklist
  • “Filled with adventure, exciting battle scenes, and quirky characters, the story keeps listeners guessing. Jacques is a wonderful narrator, and a full cast brings to life all the unique traits of the creatures. The choice of music and the singing of the songs add to the magic. Fans of the series will enjoy this installment, but it can stand on its own.”

    " This was a great book to read. It definatly was a book that I am going to add to my collection. I have read all of the books in the series, and I am impressed with Jaques' skills in all of them. "

    " I adore Brain Jacques and the world he has created with the Redwall series. The Sable Quean is a good addition to the series, continuing with the fine feasts, valient heroes, evil vermin villains, with cunning plans and plot twists. This was a pretty straightforward story, with no riddles to speak of. It wasn't my favorite of the series (I have read them all), but it was better than several of the recent books. Jacques presented us with many wonderful new characters, and I would be happy to read another book with the same cast - I am sure there are other adventures to tell of Buckler, Diggs, Ambry, and maybe even Axtel and Flib. Hare though he may be, I have a bit of a crush on Buckler - he's the perfect hero. Sable Quean is a fun, easy read, especially for anyone whose heart has already been lost to Redwall Abbey! "

    " Brian Jacques' books are still good reading, but if you read too many Redwall books over too long a time they start to seem repetitive. "

    " i like the idea, because it talks about kidnapping and revenge, but the events right now are going slowly. Brian Jaques in known to always suprise the reader at the last page, so I guess I should keep reading. "
