Martin the Warrior

Martin the Warrior is yet another book from the fantastic Redwall series. Martin is a slave to a stoat named Badrang and his crew. This is about Martin, Rose, Brome, Grumm, Pallum and Feldoh accompanied by many other friends. I'm not complaining about this at all, but I've noticed that all of the Redwall books that I've read run along the same plot. Usually what happens is that a warrior goes on a quest to find something or someone to help them save the group of people that is being attacked or tortured by the evil ruler. There are also a few other groups such as the people who are defending themselves from the evil ruler. Then the warrior comes back and defeats the ruler. The really amazing thing that Brian Jaques does is creating completely new charecters (except for the warrior or the main charecter) creates completely new plots and creates many new settings. I might be saying this over and over again, but (unlike me) the author never ceases to suprise me. He has suspense, poetry, good charecter pesonalities and so much more (plus that other stuff that I keep going on and on about.) There are soo many books to read so I don't have to worry about running out of Redwall books for a while. I'd give this book a 10 (seriously).

  1. Max,
    Your analysis of the author's style, across all of his work, is right on. Kudos. Do you anticipate getting tired of his style at some point, or do you predict that you are going to read all of the Redwall books?
