Mariel of Redwall (Redwall #4) 
Brian Jacques is one of my favourite children's authors. He is sadly missed.
I know they're really childrens' books... but when the news is full of awful stories and that helpless feeling starts creeping in around the edges, I have never yet found a heartier comfort read than the Redwall series. I've recently unearthed some of my old collection and have been rationing it out cautiously: a page or two each night, remembering how carefully I used to make these last when space was limited and books were precious... and heavy.Mariel of Redwall was actually the first Redwall

I've discovered that I tend to go to Brian Jacques books after I read something that I find really dumb (*cough* Divergent series *cough*). Brian Jacques was just an incredibly masterful story teller and his characters are always interesting and you can't help but care about them. I particularly liked the relationship between Dandin and Mariel how they are partners in crime without being romantically linked. I do also admire the fact that Jacques always manages to make the point that violence is
4/5 Another fun Redwall book. Theres some great characters in this one Mariel and Tarquin. Many of the Sea Rats are hilarious as well. As well as the first real introduction to The Long Patrol. My only real qualm is the lead villain Gabool doesnt really do much for the entirety of the novel. He never even sets foot outside his keep.
This book was alright.I liked it more near the end.So like the last book.If it wasn't for thatI would've gave it two.You can't put two and a half on Goodreads,so I gave it three stars.

I'm giving all these books a 4, because they basically GOT me hooked on fantasy I think. I read all of these in elementary school, and still have fond memories floating around. The rad legendary weapons, (with the channels etched in for blood flow, which i found super hardcore). The foods, the booze, honey mead and apple wine or whatever. Come to think of it, these books might also be a little responsible for my alcoholism, too.Brian Jacques is one of my favourite children's authors. He is sadly missed.
