Welcome to Litsy!

Really quite good. Reminded me a lot of the hobbit and lord of the rings. High fantasy, lots of characters, rotating chapters, lots and lots of small things get in the way of the goal. Loved the audio!

Cute start. I like the full cast of narrators. I usually listen at 1.5 speed, but listening to mice and squirrels talk that fast is no good! 😖 Listening as the snail‘s pace of 1x speed. 😅

Salamandastron breaks the mold of the previous Redwall books and yet still immerses readers in a wonderful tale filled with heroes, quests, and found family. The fifth book of the Redwall series provides a healthy dose of Redwall lore, wholesome adventure, and great characters. Readers will be sure to enjoy this fast-paced installment of the Redwall series.

Day 7: Salamandastron by Brian Jacques #7days7books

The Redwall series was another staple of my childhood. This was the first ‘children‘s‘ series where there were real consequences for actions. Characters died, they made bad decisions and other people were hurt or died, there was guilt and shame and it felt much more real than other children‘s books that were around when I was younger.

Salamamdastron is named for the mountain fortress of the badger lords often allied with Redwall. Urthstripe must defeat a wicked assassin and his army.

My phone has been acting up and it's been a rough week, but book mail makes everything better. I can't decide if a desire to reread the Redwall books is a good idea or bad. I loved those books as a kid, give me talking animals any day!
