"This is part of the Redwall series. Now, that series is usually a series with some fights in it and one huge battle near the end. Bu, Triss is more about a couple slaves running away and being chased, so there aren't any big fights, although there are a couple skirmishes. "

Quotes
-
“Could it be another epic Redwall tale (tail?) thick with high adventure, heavy accents, and leek-and-turnip pasty from the beloved beast master himself, Brian Jacques? It is indeed, happy readers…Jacques’ fervent followers are rewarded with the author’s usual swashbuckling good storytelling, while the newly initiated will read with wide eyes, and quickly go back to hungrily devour the rest of the series.”
— Amazon.com, editorial review -
“Humor is plentiful, much of it provided by the gluttonous madcap hare, Scarum. And also present are the familiar feasts, all regaled in delicious detail. Of course, Jacques doesn’t skimp on violent, gory battles in which the good win but not without suffering some deaths among their numbers. The myriad Redwall fans will relish this.”
— Booklist -
“Jacques reads with such drama and insight that the story shimmer with immediacy…The funny bits are funny, the evil episodes are truly frightening, and the many ship escapades and battles are exciting. The addition of original music enhances this suspenseful production for Redwall fans.”
— Booklist (audio review) -
“Jacques has created a wonderfully imaginative and beautifully realized universe, filled to the brim with amazing and amusing characters.”

" i didn't like this book, my friend tristen told me to read it last year "
— Captain, 2/20/2014 -
" Somehow I found the focus of this book to be all over the place. I was expecting Triss & her plight to save the slaves to be the main character of the story, turns out not really. That bit's only featured as a sideline. Hardly. Perhaps I would've given it more stars had it not been in Redwall series, but compared to the other stories in the series so far, this one's a bit of a dissapointment to me. "

" This book is great great great great great!!! "
— In, 2/8/2014 -
" This book is about three runaway slaves that have stolen a boat and are traveling to Mossflower Wood. It is very hard to stop reading this book once you have gotten into it. "
— Polly, 1/30/2014 -
" Despite all of Mr.Jacques's books being very long, I felt as if this one was TOO long. There were a few places near the end where I wished the story could just wrap up, but, at the same time, I'm glad I finished it. "
— Leah, 1/27/2014 -
" This one is one of the best in the Redwall series and once again has an action girl. Action girls are always the best!! "
— Sarah, 1/25/2014 -

" Also a very sad Redwall book. "
— Molly, 1/10/2014 -
" Triss. Oh Triss. My favorite out of all the Redwall books. I long to be like Triss. This novel has everything. Enslavement, freedom, battles with serpents and even a CODE. Which I still use to this day! This book keeps me coming back for more! "
— Ann, 12/28/2013 -
" i cried myself to sleep after reading this book "
— Amanda, 11/28/2013 -
" I felt this was a lot better than Mariel of Redwall when it came to the "female warrior" idea, but even then it wasn't all that great. A fun book, but nothing remarkable. "
— Caroline, 11/13/2013 -
" Another rather bland adventure story. (spoiler alert) I would recommend reading this book if you are interested in what happened to Brockhall. "
— David, 10/28/2013 -
" Dude don't mess with Princess Kurda. She'll slice your head right off and laugh about it and then slice off the head of whoever laughed with her. "
— Christopher, 3/15/2013 -
" This is a great story it is an adventure in of itself which is enhanced due to the series. I loved it!!!! "
— Naomi, 3/10/2013 -
" I enjoyed this little adventure and found the characters deeper than the usual Redwall animals, but the dialogue that Jacques uses continually leaves me skimming over sections with boredom. I enjoyed this book but I can't imagine giving it more than three stars. "
— Todd, 1/19/2013 -
" Fearless little beasties always entertaining! "
— Lisa, 1/13/2013 -
" Interesting premises, although it wasn't as memorable as the rest of Jacques' other literary triumphs. Triss did not particularly stand out as an heroine, and I found myself just slightly bored towards the end. "
— Hannah, 1/10/2013 -
" Well...the story seemed to have a main plot but it twisted and turned in such elaborate loops that I got dizzy. "
— Katie, 12/31/2012 -
" I leterly just read this, was really exciting! "
— Eleanor, 6/2/2012 -
" you can never get enough brian jacques "
— Jennifer, 2/24/2012 -
" This is one of the better installments to the series. A plucky, likable, and motivated heroine, sadistic and scary villains, and fast paced adventure as you like it as served by Brian Jacques. "
— Andrew, 2/9/2012 -
" This was my first Brian Jacques book. I LOVED every single page of this book. I after words took the time to read every other Redwall book Brian wrote. I plan to read any other books he has written as well. AMAZING author. "
— Justine, 12/22/2011 -

— zoe, 12/15/2010 -
" An addicting series you just cannot put down. "
— April, 1/20/2010 -
" The book that killed Redwall for me. Granted, it wasn't as disappointing as <u>Taggerung</u>, but by this point I was too old to tolerate evil ferrets speaking Viktor Krum-ese. It was nice to have a female warrior, but otherwise it's the same tired Redwall fare. "
— Katie, 12/30/2009 -
" Loved it. Brian Jacques is a force to be reckoned with. <br/> <br/>(I've read the entire series) "
— Alexia, 12/17/2009 -

— Abby, 10/28/2009 -
" Amazingly great book. I encourage anyone who is looking for a book with adventure to this book and the others in the series. I am never disappointed with this author with any of his books. "
— Sdoconnor, 10/26/2009 -
" This is a good book. In fact I have read all the Redwall books. They are all very good "
