Commentary Toward Books Salamandastron (Redwall #5)
The inhabitants of Redwall relax in the haze of summer-but as they do, the neighboring stronghold of Salamandastron lies besieged by the evil weasel army of Ferhago the Assassin. Worse still, Mara, beloved daughter of Urthstripe, Badger Lord of the Fire Mountain, is in terrible danger. Then a lightning bolt uncovers the sword of Martin the Warrior, and young Samkin embarks on an adventure that leads him to Mara. Can the good creatures triumph over the villainous Assassin?Illustrated by Gary Chalk

Redwall is often viewed as children books, and it truly is, but it will always be one of my favourite series. Its appeal is undying, because it touches on timeless topics: the importance of family (complex relationship between Mara and Urthstripe), young ones growing up and learning responsibility (Samkim and Arula leaving their home to return to it different beasts), protecting the weak from the evil (Urthstripe and the Long Patrol defending the shores and all of Mossflower), giving your bestAfter having enjoyed several other books in this series, Salamandastron certainly did not disappoint.
Thrugg and Dungle won my heart. I didn't notice the main plotflow of the story for the most part (I have a habit of zoning out on books from time to time), but when I heard about the disease, Dryditch fever, my little ten-year-old mind went into a panic. I've always had a great fear about getting some kind of horrible incurable infectious disease, and Dryditch is just the kind of thing that got my little heart racing (I'm more worried about Ebola these days). Then of course Thrugg comes along;
5 stars from the 10ish year old me reading her first ever fantasy novel. It got me hooked, I devoured the whole series, then went searching for more like it. Present day me gives it 3.5 stars. Jacques is an excellent writer; I really do love the way he blends multiple story lines throughout the books only to tie them up together in one neat little package at the end. The characters and the world are just lovely. What I wouldn't give to live at Redwall Abbey! However adult me recognizes that each
This is a story full of adventure, camaraderie, cute fluffy creatures and significant character deaths. The cutesy 'children book' illustrations topping each chapter heading are massively offset by the beheadings, impalements and other violent deaths found in the text. This is chock-full of likable characters with rambunctious attitudes, true villains to boo and hiss at and so many descriptions of mouth-watering food. When they're not adventuring or killing each other, these critters spend the
Salamandastron by Brian Jacques is a story of parents and children, legacy, siege, battle, epidemic, and feasting. Its about passing the torch. A good introduction to Redwall (almost any book will work) but can also stand solo if you just want a good story.Reading Salamandastron, I love the Redwall books, but now I know a little about the historical and current discrimination against Scots as a language and against the Scottish in the UK, passages with comments of not understanding Northern
