A review by zenithharpink
Loamhedge by Brian Jacques
3.0
In comparison to other books, this is a 3-star book. Within the series, this is a 2-star book, and easily my least favorite book in the series. Martha was a boring saint - I just felt that I wouldn't like her if I were to meet her, and aside from villains, I haven't felt that way about too many Redwall characters.
The quest featured felt hollow, Martha's problems felt manufactured and inauthentic. The whole arc was irritating to me as a loyal reader of the series.
The final piece that I was hoping would be more satisfactorily resolved were the 3 yound tagalong heroes. They were, annoying, superior, and added no value - either to the story or the actual heroes they were following around. I'm always hoping these young'uns, sometimes Dibbuns, get their comeuppance, but Jacques' heart is far more generous than mine, apparently.
I recommend this to fans of fantasy, but as far as books within the series, I would recommend starting elsewhere if you haven't read a Redwall book before.
