Description
Just finished reading 'Martin the Warrior', and I will say this: it was a very well-written novel with high action, memorable characters, and diverse cultures and landscapes. One thing about this book that stands out from all the other books I have read was that it made me connect with all of the characters. When a character felt anger, I felt anger with them and there was not one character I hadn't felt a little sympathy for.
With that said, there was never a book that made me weep as I read it..... save for one. I remember reading through this book and seeing all of the foreshadowing and piecing together the sad truth I would have to face in the end when Martin and his friends battle against the vermin of Marshank to put an end to the evil tyrant Badrang. Having read the book 'Mossflower' which takes place after this story, I began to realize that all of the events that took place in 'Martin the Warrior' are never mentioned once in the following story and with great reason.
I will not be describing the dark turn of events that had taken place 'less I spoil more than I have already have. Such a grand tale would have to be experienced by the person themselves whether it's by reading it or hearing it told to them word for word. I would say this is an absolute must for any Redwall fan, as the book explains so many things about the history of Redwall and its founder, Martin. Heck, I would recommend this to anyone whether they are a Redwall fan or not just 'cause this is such a wonderfully fun and exciting story from start to finish.
