I also disliked how the bad guys are all rats, weasels, ferrets and stoats. This is a serious downside in my opinion, and the book loses two stars for that alone. It would have made a better plot to have some clever bad guys. However, I did not like how all the villains are stupid (except Cluny of course!). ![]() I really liked how the author places his animal characters in a medieval setting (eg.Cluny's horde is a classic 'Barbaric' invasion!). ![]() The terrain around the wood is probably based on medieval Britain, though no place names are mentioned in it. This story and Mossflower are based around the fictional 'Mossflower' wood. It is a bit hard to place this in any genre, but I think that fantasy would be the best way to characterize it. The main characters are Mathias, a young mouse, Constance, an old, wise but very fierce badger, Abbot Mortimer, an old mouse of Redwall and of course Cluny, a sea rat! ![]() But it is not over: Cluny vows to never retreat from mice and badgers again. Luckily Constance (a badger) notices and kicks the plank sending Cluny and one of his captains plummeting to the ground. ![]()
