Mariel of Redwall (Redwall, Book 4)

Rating:
Summary: Go Mariel
Review: This was one of my fave Redwall books, though the plot wasn't much different from that of the other books in the series, hence the rating. What was different was the fact that a female character was placed in the lead role, with an attitude similar to that of Martin the Warrior himself and complimented by the wayward style of her companion Dandin. Rough, tough, and unafraid, she is among my favorite characters Brian Jacques has created thus far. I see no reason for anyone to avoid reading this or call it poorly written solely based on the fact that the lead character is female. Complete with battles, friendship, and courage, it is a true Redwall tale. This book shows that even the smallest female mouse can have the heart of a warrior.

"Mariel of Redwall" is definitely worth the time and effort.
