A stable book in a great series.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes. I would recommend this book due to the fact that while not the best Redwall book, it show cases the best traits of the series. The story moves along well, the characters are engaging and the villains are a well written bunch.

What was one of the most memorable moments of High Rhulain?

The moments are not nearly as important as the choices of Atunra and Riggu Felis. Well chosen and delightful to listen too.

What does Brian Jacques and Full Cast bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Aside from the well played songs of the book, it gives the characters a new life due to the characters, making the world seem more realistic.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Not particularly, though listening to the villains bickering was always fun.

Any additional comments?

The biggest flaw of the book comes about as the sense of danger is minor. It is a very middle of the road book, and one of the few with an otter main character (as well as the only female otter main character). So it is not the best, but far from the worst.

Good.. not great

Not in the same class as his first novels. Redwall was really very good. This novel did not add much to the series. A case of an author putting out books on a schedule rather than as a work of art.

The High Rhulain

One of Brian Jacques's best works It's simply the story of a warrior princess who travels to a far off land to save her people from wretched slavery, and become the high Rhulain. 11/10 chaps

Like reading it for the first time again!

This was the first redwall book I read about 10 years ago. Since then I read all of the books in the redwall series and this one remains one of my favorites! Here's some of what there is to see in this book (without giving spoilers)

1. A vicious wildcat ruler wages war with a group of robin-hood-like outlaws on a secluded island, with a dangerous son plotting against him all the while

2. A giant water monster

3. A warrior so mad they think they're a shrew, sea otter, hare, and badger, among other things

4. A strong female protagonist who embarks on a journey worthy of standing out as one of the best in this enitre series

5. A really good set of songs and riddles (custom in redwall books)

Whimsical and Fun to listen to, a joy for all

Narrated beautifully, this book is lighthearted and easy to listen to. I'll be listening to many more from the Redwall series!

Brian Jacques did it again!

Best redwall book so far... I love everything about this book!! Redwall is an amazing book series!

Lovely

Having listened to all of the available Redwall books, this is one of my favorites.

Exhausting.

Would you try another book from Brian Jacques and/or Brian Jacques and Full Cast ?

No.

How could the performance have been better?

This review is of the audiobook only. The story was exciting, but the audio was somehow off, needing to be adjusted almost constantly. The narration was very quiet, but the dialogue between characters was very loud. As we listened, we felt we were being harshly reprimanded. We only made it through book one, as we couldn't bear to listen to anymore of the story. Additionally, the narrator sounded like a cross between Alfred Hitchcock and Capt. Jack Sparrow. At times, his words were so slurred, we had no idea what was being said, even after backing it up and playing again. The character performers, however, were easily understandable...just very loud.
