Summary: Pearls of Lutra
Review: The Pearls of Lutra revolves around several central characters. First and foremost is Tansy the hedgehog. It is she who undertakes the quest to find the hidden pearls, and her sections of the book are filled with the usual enderaing Redwall dialects, characters, and riddles. The riddles were fun without being incredibly difficult to solve...children would have a good time thinking them over to see if they can figure it out before Tansy and her friends.
Martin the second makes a return appearance, this time setting out to rescue kidnapped Redwallers. He proves to be his dependable self, protecting the innocent and bringing the vilians to their knees.
Grath Longfletch is an otter bent on bringing vengeance on the corsairs that slaughtered her family.
I could go on and on about so many of the characters in this book: owls, hares, the Guosim shrews, seals, and more!I enjoyed this book for the most part. The only drawback is that I found the varying storylines more distracting than usual. There are always a lot of things going on in Redwall books, but it was difficult to keep things straight this time. Perhaps the similarity in the names of several characters was part of it.
