Coxswain Balls posted:I think it's nice that he started writing because he wanted to make something for the children at the school for the blind he volunteered at, which is why all of his books have the ridiculously detailed descriptions of feasts and stuff. Outcast of Redwall didnt really hold back on that. I think he even had an extra toe on his paw which more or less said OF COURSE HE BAD i feel kinda dumb not knowing why he described stuff in such detail  another pro book Mariel of Redwall was off the hook. Mariel washes up on a shore holding a shipping rope then beats every rats rear end with it while making sure its soaked in seawater to make it heavier

I was re-reading the series a couple years ago. Was reading them in release order and I think I got to Salamandastron before stopping for no particular reason. They were still a lot of fun to read even to this day, even though I'm many years older by now. They're simple but full of wonderful detail to imagine, and a lot of fun characters. But yeah even as a kid I thought the "good" animals and "evil" animals thing was pretty noticeable. Though as a kid I think it was more "who would name their kid Fangtooth and not expect them to be bad". I liked it when the books tried to do a little bit with "evil" animal becoming accepted by others, though this didn't happen very often and was usually pretty paper thin. I guess kids weren't supposed to think about it that hard. At least it doesn't ruin the books or anything.

It's crazy that after not having read the books in like 20 years that all I can remember is vivid descriptions of the food what the gently caress I don't remember the characters I don't remember the story I just remember pages and pages of descriptions of food like some Simarillion bullshit In the books defense the descriptions of the food was absolutely outstanding

I. M. Gei posted:Actually this brings up an interesting point. When I was a kid, so like 20+ years ago, I read these books obsessively. Over and over again, until they fell apart obsessively. All this to say, I distinctly remember a line in one of the novels, I honestly think it was Mariel of Redwall although I really don't remember, where there was this random typo wherein two characters were suddenly referred to in the text as being horses one time despite having been previously introduced as something else (otters?). They were not called otters again. It would have been in a paperback edition from the mid to late 90s I think. Edit: Apparently the error occurs in "Outcasts of Redwall" and it was hares not otters that were replaced by horses. Odd how memory works.

I liked all of the books that featured badgers, because badgers in Redwall (and probably in real life too!) kicked rear end.

You had Badgers, those Wolverines, and Wildcats as semimystic giant races of terrible power; I don't know or remember what else might have been introduced of their ilk in some corner. Like what's a High Rhulain? Some sort of Otter priest? What regionality are they pastiching?

Rakkety Tam was the Scottish, for example, if that sounds like a hook for a latter-day one you'd want to dip back into. As I was saying after Lord Brocktree-ish he started getting into a comfortable rut writing formulaic, cyclical pieces. They were always just set further in the timeline and there was always a Badger Lord on some intersecting quest, etc, etc. It's an immensely comfortable period of the franchise and the peripheral cultures he brings in are always fun, but you can tell the fire's starting to burn low into the night on the series.
