Another Jacques masterpiece! I love these! And when he describes food, I cant stop my mouth from watering!

I always enjoyed the Redwall books as a kid and was really happy to pick this up again. It holds up in all the ways you'd want it to. The descriptions of food, the songs the characters sing, and the colourful ways in which Jacques writes dialogue is as delightful now as it was when I was 12. I'd recommend these books to anyone, I'm going to try to get my hands on a few more just to revisit Mossflower Wood and the brave creatures who inhabit it!

I loved this series when I was a kid and read the first five books as they came out. When this paperback crossed my path I thought I’d give it a try, thinking it might spur me to reread the earlier volumes, which I still have. Parts of it were enjoyable but overall I had trouble with how violent this installment was. So many gruesome deaths! It turned me off from revisiting this world.

Epic. That's the first word that comes to mind when I think of this book. I won't spoil anything, but one particular battle scene was jam-packed with emotion and hyped up on the power of determination, one of my favorite story elements. The Long Patrol characters are the epitome of the motto 'never give up', and that stuck with me even till now, about a decade after reading the book.

Did you ever wish that the Hares and the Long Patrol could take centre-stage instead of being secondary characters? If so, you'll enjoy this one! It's the usual coming-of-age 'I wanna run away and do xyz, parents just don't get meeeeee, huzzah adventure-bound!' set against the backdrop of one of the best (imo) badger character's fight with evil!

*Note: I had a physical copy to complete my bookshelf as a kid, but listened to this as an audiobook instead.

As usual, Brian Jacques gives us another harrowing tale of woodland creatures. This one follows a young hare that is bent on joining the Long Patrol, a group of Hare warriors. We follow him and his squirrel friend as he learns what it really means to fight and be a part of war.

I read this to my children who absolutely loved the "perilous hares" and all the other wonderful creatures springing from the fertile imagination of Brian Jacques in this heroic tale of good versus evil as the foebeast vermin threatened the gentlebeasts of Redwall. I highly recommend these books for ages 9 and up.

I truly marvel at the world that Brian Jacques has created. It is so easy to get lost in!

i remember especially liking this one

This is by far my favorite novel of Redwall. I’ve read it multiple times. Still get goosebumps. Long live the Long Patrol.

Read with Maggie, loved it. I met Mr. Jacques years ago and he was such an amazing character himself. Love the ‘realistic ‘ fantasy, he doesn’t hide the reality of battle or life.

They’re just fun. I hadn’t read a Redwall book since high school, and wanted to go back and see if it lived up to my memory of them. And it did. Memorable characters, enjoyable adventures, and if the plot sometimes relies a little too much on coincidence, or on the evil rats being kind of stupid, well, it’s all part of the fun.
