That score is a little generous. Jacques writes with so much charm and warmth. The passion shines through his prose - even in his middle tier work.

Ah, Redwall... Taking me right back to my childhood! Rakkety Tam was a fun tale. It's been a few years since I read the previous novel, Loamhedge.We meet a new sinister antagonist, Gulo the Savage. He's a wolverine, and he's bad. There were parts of the book involving Gulo that shocked me. Let's just say that he and his subordinates don't just kill their enemies, they eat them too. For this reason, the book seemed darker than other Redwall books, but it definitely distinguished just how bad Gulo
It's hard to be objective because this was my favourite series as a kid and the nostalgia is STRONG. But it was full of blood and guts and adventure, so really, what wasn't to love?! So much decapitation for a children's book, lmao. Oh, and cannibalism, I can't believe I almost forgot about that!

I freaking loved these books as a kid. I read every single one of them multiple times and stayed up to date with the series until I graduated high school. Then for some reason, even though 5 more books were published in the series, I felt myself reluctant to pick them up. What if I didnt like them as much? What if I was too old for Redwall??

I loved it! It's been a long time since I've read a Tale of Redwall, and this is the first time reading one since Brian Jacques past away in February. It's one of my favourites that I've read. I absolutely adore the Scottish squirrels, Tam and Doogy. And the hares are as wonderful as ever. Unfortunately most of my favourite hares died.. the Brigadier and Butty what's-his-name and Dauncy. A lot more main characters died in this book than I remember from any of the other Redwall books I've read.That score is a little generous. Jacques writes with so much charm and warmth. The passion shines through his prose - even in his middle tier work. This was the first time I read an entry in this series since I was a prepubescent.
