Not my favourite in the series just based on the relative blandness of the characters, but it does the job of scratching the Redwall itch. The world-building is great as always, even if the plot by this point in the series has become a bit routine. It's a book I can turn my brain off while I listen to it, a cozy autumn blanket of a story.
I would not recommend the audiobooks as an adult. While the fact that this is voice acted by a full cast is great for kids, the over-the-top cartoonish voices were grating. When it came to the villains, I could sometimes hardly understand what was said, and the actor who played Horty kept yelling all of his lines. It was also a nice touch, in theory, that all the songs in the book were sung, but I found myself skipping over them.
