I've been reading these things for 21 years now. I'm sure I'm too old for them, but I can't help myself. Brilliant.
Format:Hardcover
Brian Jacques strikes again! I loved this book; his characters are so well fashioned and interesting. I couldn't put it down.

Worth the Time Even if You've Read all the Others
3 Mar 2010
Format:Hardcover
I admit it: I'm a sucker for Redwall books. I've read all of them; when my Library ordered The Sable Quean, I was the first to place a request for it.
Of Jacques' most recent Redwall books, High Rhulain was the most disappointing, though Eulalia and Doomwyte were better -- but this one! The Sable Quean is, in my opinion, the best Jacques book to come out since Triss. (Taggerung is my all-time favorite, for those dying to know.)
Alright, I'll try to keep this spoiler-free:
The plot has a number of familiar Jacques elements, but he keeps you guessing here more than I might have anticipated. Memorable villains (if not the most ostentatiously evil) and an ensemble of sympathetically displayed woodlanders give the novel an excellent cast. I feel that Jacques should have focused more on his hero rather than on his hero's comical friend, but that is a minor quibble. This novel does not have the epic feel of Mossflower or The Long Patrol, but tends to convey even more than usual the folksy atmosphere of Jacques' world.
I can recommend this entry in the Redwall cannon with great enthusiasm. Check out your library and start reading. I did, and it only took me less than a week to finish, college work aside (yes, I still read Redwall books at 19). Happy reading!

Incredible

Brian Jacques has done it again. The Sable Quean is a terrific book, a worthy additon to the acclaimed Redwall series.
The beginning starts out well, but as the story began to follow the familiar routes of the previous books, I was a little disappointed. Don't get me wrong, I love the Redwall books. However, Jacques brilliantly rescues the story halfway through the book.
The Sable Quean is a magnificent book from Redwall, rivalling the first Redwall books and is quite possibly the greatest book yet from the Redwall shelf. This book is written proof that the amazing Brian Jacques is definitely NOT losing his touch. I'll be eagerly awaiting the next book in the Redwall series.

Another great addition to the Redwall Legacy
24 Mar 2010
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I thoroughly enjoyed the book. I pre-ordered the book and it overwhelmingly met my anticipation. It had the usual cast of characters with the addition of a warrior mole. I would indeed like to read about more of him. For fans of Mossflower Woods and Redwall Abbey, this tale is a welcome addition to you library. Hurry with the audiobook!!
