Summary: If You Like Redwall... (you know what I'd say next!)
Review: This is probably the best Redwall book, but they just keep getting better! I said the same thing about Marlfox, then Taggarung...This is the story of Triss, Shogg, and Welko, who run away from Riftgard, the castle of these evil white ferrets. The King is old, his son is not the warrior type, and that leaves his daughter, who (admitedly, some what predictably) cruel, evil, nasty, and speaks with a very strange accent. The slaves there are ill-treated, staving, et cetera. When Triss and company escape, after a while, they are joined by a youg badger and his funny hare pal, who have come from Salamandastron. But I'm going to leave you there, so you'll have to read the book, if you want to find out what happens next (wot, wot!)

Summary: A spectacular new edition to the Redwall Saga
Review: Throughout the past 15 books of Redwall we have seen a diverse amount of warriors pick up Martin's great sword. Some of them were mince, some were squirrels, some where otters. Some inherited the sword and some received it by what seemed like fate. They only had one thing in common. They were all MALE. In Triss, for the first time we get to see a female warrior of Redwall and a talented one at that. Triss tells 3 stories that eventually weave into each other. Far to the North live three slaves, Triss, Welfro and Shogg, who somehow escape from the clutches of the cruel King Aragnu and his daughter the evil Princess Kudra. As they travel away in a stolen ship they realize that eventually they will have to return home to save their friends, but not until they have saved themselves. To the South in Salamandastron Sagax, a young badger Lord sets out to sea with his two close friends the gluttonous hare Scarum and the clever otter Kroova, in search of adventure. They end up getting much more than they bargained for. And to the East in the legendary Redwall Abbey, both the young and the old struggle to solve some tricky riddles that may hold the key to the location of the old and forgotten Brockhall. Just like the past 14 Redwall books Triss is filled with adventure, humor, action, and mystery. But Triss is no ordinary Redwall book. Since it takes place generations after Taggerung we have a whole new cast of interesting charecters to learn about. my favorites are Kroova the otter and the warriormaid Triss herself. The Humor in Triss is far the best we've ever seen in any Redwall book. Don't believe me? Well, wait until you read the section about Pluggs' tail! That made me giggle. People who criticized Taggerung for uninteresting riddles will be pleasantly surprise in Brian Jacques puzzling new inventions that take a bit of thought. A do have a couple criticisms though. One is the abundance of songs. I realize that they're important to Scarum's character but enough already! It seems like Mr. Jacques sticks in songs jsut to take up space at times. Another one is I would have liked to see Mr. Jacques go into more detail about a couple events. One being the meeting and greeting of Triss's group to Sagax's groups, the other being about Triss seeing the sword of Martin for the first time. Still despite these faults Brian Jacques delivers one of the greatest books in the series. Triss joins the rank of Mariel and Songbreeze Swifteye as one of the most likable heroines ever seen in this series. Scarum is a great character too. I could go on for hours just talking about this book it was that good but I'll spare you my blabbering and let you decide for yourself. Fans of Redwall rejoice. Triss proves that Brian Jacques still has a couple of good yarns still left in him.

Summary: Triss is a great book
Review: Triss is a great novel it has adventure, puzzles and excitement. It is the 15th novel by Brian Jacques. The book has a few main characters. Triss a squirrel maid, Welfo a hedge hog, Shogg an old otter, Sagax a badger, Scarum a hare, and Krova another otter. There are also some evil characters such as Kurda the evil daughter of king Aragnu.
Triss, Welfo, and Shogg are enslaved by the evil Aragnu and forced to work all day with little food. Triss and her friends decide to make an escape boat by taking materials from under their noses. They get caught by one of the guards and are sentenced to be sword practice for Kurda. The day before there execution they are kept in and cage in the water. Luckily one of their friends smuggles in a chisel so they could make their escape. They eventually make there escape and take control of the royal vessel, and head off to sea.
Mean while Sagax and Scarum are busily packing for the adventure. Salamandastron hasn't seen as much fighting as it used to so they go off on a search for adventure. Their plan is to go off to sea with their friend Krova whom has a boat called the stop dog.
At Redwall Abby they are having their annual feast when two dibbuns (four-ten year olds) escape out the gate and into moss flower wood. They get scared and sprint through the forest, not knowing where they are stumble on Brockhall. They open the door and released one of the deadliest creature in all of Mossflower.
This is a great book. It refers to the other Redwall books so it would help a lot if you read the others before hand. Another interesting thing about this book is the different dialects like mole talk, dibbun talk, ferret talk, and many more. I loved reading this book and I hope you will too!

Summary: P's Review
Review: Triss rocks. Brian Jacques never, ever, makes a rubbish book and this is no exception. Don't bother with other authors, he is the best writer you're gonna find. I think I like Triss the most because he uses a girl (for once) to wield the sword of Martin, as well as the brilliant plot and cool storyline. Triss, Shogg (an otter) and Welfo (the hedgehog) escape from the albino ferrets on Riftgaurd (Kurda and Agarnu and their rats). In Redwall, these two Dibbuns find the entrance to Brockhall, (though any of you interested in this book would have read in other reviews) but believe me, this is true Brian Jacques style for you. Oh, and Sagaxus and Bascarum (a badger and a hare) leave Salamandastron for adventure. His characters are brilliant (as usual), and if you're starting for the first time on Redwall, where have you been for the past sixteen years? Triss is my favourite book, you might prefer others, but this is the book of the year. It has everything

Summary: Triss? It could have been more.
Review: Triss was a very interesting novel only more and more in Jacques's books the entire welcome all trust all themes tend to flood the senses with a gush of ingratitude... Everyone must constantly worry about Redwall and protect it because of this thought process. The book is alright but it's nothing particularly remarkable as it could have or might have been. It is littered with exagerated themes and once gain a good against evil battle somewhere up north. A female warrior carries Martin's sword and many follow it to simple dooms which always seem to be the most painful at their typicalness. You'll want to read it of course because it's Brian Jacques, so hey! go ahead, it's not that bad.

Summary: Triss: A Novel for Everyone
Review: Triss was written by Brian Jacques, and is the latest book in the Redwall Series. It contains adventure, puzzles, and battles. Triss is the fifteenth novel in the series, and, in my opinion, is a great success. The characters are very colorful, and each one is important, whether good or bad. I thought the plot, dialects, and conflicts of the book Triss were very interesting.
The evil ferret King Agarnu is the king of a fortress that overlooks the sea. He owns many slaves; among these are Triss, Shogg, and Welfo. These three are planning to escape, by the means of a boat that they are building. Also, in a mountain fortress called Salamandastron, Scarum, Sagax, and Kroova sail away from their home, in seek of an adventure. At the same time, in Redwall Abbey, two young Dibbuns, Ruggum and Bikkle, run away from their home, to escape from "baffs". When Triss and her companions finally escape, King Agarnu is angered. He tries to recapture them, but they elude him by stealing his prize ship from the ferrets. It is then that Princess Kurda, the King's malicious daughter, comes up with a "brilliant" plan. They will send up a signal for pirates to notice, and then "hire" the pirates to catch the slaves. Also, the ferrets are trying the retrieve a crown and arm-ring that was lost in Mossflower, the home of Redwall.
Dibbun-talk is one of the many different dialects in this book. Another example is mole-speech. Instead of saying "I was doing fine" the moles might say "Oi wurr doin' gurtly well". A well as mole-speech, other dialects are included such as ferret-talk and hare-talk. The colorful dialects in this book give it a good flavor.
In spite of all this, and the potential threat to Redwall, the abbey holds the annual feast. The two Dibbuns are finally found, a little ways away from Redwall. They claim to have found a place called Brockhall, the long-lost hall of Badger Lords. Even though most of the Redwallers believe the two Dibbuns, some are doubtful. Nevertheless, a search party is sent out to find the entrance to Brockhall.
During all of that, the company from Salamandastron casts off from the shored of their home, in a boat called the "Stopdog". They, unfortunately, find out first hand how much food Scarum can eat. Consequently, almost all of their food is gone with the glutinous hare to blame. Fortunately, they find land, with plenty of food to spare. For safety measures, however, they keep a careful eye on Scarum, to make sure he doesn't eat too much. The conflict with Scarum eating too much goes on throughout the book, and is only one of many conflicts in the book. Some of the other conflicts include a fight between the pirates and the slaves. As well as many external conflicts, there are quite a few internal ones too. The conflicts in this book are very exciting, and are filled with many surprises.
This book, Triss, contains an excellent plot, colorful dialects, and interesting conflicts. Brian Jacques has created a masterpiece, in my opinion. He successfully wove together good characters, a wonderful plot, and many twists and turns to create this book. He adds his usual puzzle element in, as well. Also, this book refers to other events in the series, so I wouldn't read it if you haven't read some, if not all, of the other books. I enjoyed reading Triss, and I think you will too!

Summary: New Redwall Book Sure to be a Hit
Review: Triss, the 15th book in the amazing Redwall series is a sure hit for all ages! Once again Jacques has created a whole score of new and interesting characters for the story, as well as new and terrifying enemies for the creatures of Redwall Abbey. His amazing descriptions of beasts will make your heart pound with fear or excitement, and the good characters are lovable enough to make you cry.
The book starts with the lives of Triss, Shogg, and Welfo, three young slaves working at Riftgard, an island inhabited by searats and ruled by a family of Pure White Ferrets. They hatch a daring plan to escape, and flee the island forever. As they sail away, Triss promises one day to return and free all the slaves.
At the same time a young badger Sagax and his friend the hare Scarum leave Salamandastron with the otter Kroova looking for adventure.
It gets even more exciting when Kurda the ferret princess, asks for the Freebooters (a scurvy crew of searats) for help. They set sail to capture and kill the runaway slaves.
Meanwhile deep in Mossflower, two Dibbuns come across the most ancient Badger Lord hall... Brockhall. The plot twists and turns, and with the help of other good creatures the characters come together for an epic and final battle for Redwall and for freedom from the vermin forever.

Summary: Triss, from a Bookworm's perspective
Review: Trisscar, to give her full name, is a heroine whose story deserves six stars, but I could only give her five ( sorry, Triss). Triss and a few close friends escape from their home where they were slaves to Prince Bladd and Princess Kurda. They meet many interesting new friends. Regrettably, there is not excess exposition or I would have given it a seven. All in all, thie makes a very interesting read.
P.S.- Avid Redwall readers, look for the surprise discovery near Redwall!
