I read this book closer to the middle of the year, but honestly it's my favorite book in the series. It has my favorite character so far with Garth and one of the best supporting casts I think I have seen in redwall books. On top of that the villain alone is really good, and though there is a sense of magic with him which is pretty uncommon for Brian Jacques work, I think it works beautifully.

On top of that it also has some really good and nuanced characters with Romsca, which has become my second favorite character to go from villain to hero.

I understand a lot of people don't like how much nautical stuff is in it, however I feel like a lot less egregious than the over the top military stick stuff in The Long Patrol. I also found the character development of Garth, Tansy(another of my favorite characters) and Romsca to be above and beyond for all the books I've read so far.

It's my favorite book in the series and I'm just curious what other people think about it especially since a lot of people seem to have a lot of negative stuff to say about it.

Honestly the book had one of the most promising openings but I feel like the potential was really squandered. Denya was a promising protagonist but I think it fell too hard into the black and white morality of a lot of his books.

Nimbalo was a great character and I really like Myera, they were pretty strong and I liked them being "on screen" and Cregga is always nice to see. The villains were pretty weak though and not very memorable.

The book was really fun most of the way through, though I think that there was a lot of padding in book 2 and it kinda made the ending a pretty big slog. What do you guys think, is there anything I'm missing? I'd love to hear your opinions. :3

I finished reading Moss flower a couple days ago and I noticed there were quite a few continuity issues that I want to see if anyone else noticed or if it's just me being silly.

The main ones were that sunflash got brought up and mentioned, despite the fact that redwall was already an established Abby by the time his story came about in outcasts.

There's also the continuity issue with Martin the warrior, the book itself having a lot of things that contradict established floor already mainly regarding the book martin The warrior.

At the end of the day it doesn't really matter since all the books are pretty fire, but I'm just curious if anyone else noticed this because it mildly bothers me.
