    About this audiobook

    With millions of copies in print, the New York Times bestselling Redwall series from beloved, award-winning

    of Green Isle await their prophesized savior, the High Rhulain.

    At Redwall Abbey, a young ottermaid named Tiriah Wildlough longs for the glory of a warrior’s life, much to
    her father’s disapproval. But when a wounded osprey brings news of the besieged otters of Green Isle—tormented
    by wildcat chieftain Riggu Fellis and his dreaded catguard slave masters—Tiriah knows what she must do. She must
    brave the Great Western Sea to join forces with the leader of the embattled otters.

    Jacques and his own dramatic company deliver a fully voiced performance of this breathtaking story, creating

      “Jacques is milking it.”

      As I picked up this novel, I expected the typical Redwall plot: Far-off land is in trouble, A warrior rises from the midst of peaceful Redwallers, they follow clues that rhyme and allow the plot to move forward, stuff happen (usually reunions), then a huge battle ensues. However, I didn’t expect this bread and butter structure to be followed so literally.

      From this selection, it’s evident that Jacques is just milking out as much as possible. It takes FOREVER for the plot to move its way forward, and when it does it GRINDS its way through. This book is just about 80% filler (although, I should have been used to that, because, hey, it’s Redwall). But the filler didn’t feel like scenes of hearty feasts, depicted emotions, or amusing chortle-worthy jokes, it just felt like filler.

      Personally, I felt that Jacques hearty, adventurous writing style was greatly lacking. Everything is rather forced.

      High Rhulain should only be read for the sake of having the right to say: “Redwall? Oh, yeah. I read that series. Every single one of them!”
