If you were one of the general ironbeak corvid soldiers? in during mattimeo, what would you do to try and survive and what location would you be in?
Personally, I'd probably try to flee after seeing my Comrades getting defeated but I wouldn't make it that far before being defeated.
What about you?
Lady Amber is cool AF. I forgot how likable Gonff was, too. Such a funny, charming little guy 🤣 I also feel like some of the tropes that frustrated me a little in other Redwall books are not as present in this book. We get the little kid characters, Ferdy and Coggs, but without the lispy baby-talk, and the babies are actually brave and noble despite their young age. I’m not a big fan of the recurring trope of the stupid and utterly cowardly vermin minion, so I’m glad to see that many of the vermin mooks have fairly sensible and likable personalities - we actually get to see them contemplate deserting Tsarmina’s ranks, but conclude that they can’t because of what she’d do to them if she caught them. I’m looking forward to reading more of Gingivere’s story, too.
Still mourning the Redwall adaptation we never got. From Patrick McHale leaving to Netflix just sitting on the rights... the wasted potential is insane. This world has so many incredible stories and characters that deserve to be seen. We were robbed
Outcast was the first book we read together, so these two have a special place for us. We finished the series last year then watched the tv show, had an official redwall feast to say goodbye. I bought her one of those tapestries. These stories mean at much to us
