Summary: Jacques' Triss will be a Hit with Redwall Fans
Comment: Once again, the world of Redwall comes alive in this fifteenth masterpiece of the series. Triss, Shogg and Welfo escape from Riftguard, the palace of the evil pure ferrets, where they were enslaved. At the same time, Sagax, a badger, and his friend, Scarum the hare, run away from Salamandastron, the renowned mountain of the badger lords. They travel with their sea otter friend Kroova. Triss and her friends are pursued by the ferret, Princess Kurda, her ratguards and a pack of Freebooters. Meanwhile, back at Redwall Abbey, the residents are trying to locate Brockhall, another ancient home of the badgers, in Mossflower Woods. The classical Redwall fight of good versus evil accounts for a fair amount of the saga. Of course, Liverpudlians are an extremely comical group of people, and Brian Jacques is no exception. Scarum, who loves to constantly scoff food, and the other hares in the story, provide much of the wit in the book. Fans who loved Taggerung, the fourteenth Redwall book, and are expecting a tale as fabulous as it will have most of their expectations met. Triss will delight fans and newcomers, young and old alike!

Summary: This book is something I know you'll enjoy!
Comment: I always loved Redwall books and have read pretty much of them, so I've got to admit that they are getting a tiny bit boring for me. I was thinking of putting this book for four stars since this book was a little bit like "Martin the Warrior" (which is about slaves who escape an island ruled by vermin and promises to return to free the others), but the action, excitment, humor, and poems made me think, "Oh well, I loved this book anyway!"
Here's the Story:
Triss is a young brave squirrel who is enslaved with many other slaves on the island of Riftgard, which is ruled by the evil King Agarnu and his son and daughter Prince Bladd and the sadistic Princess Kurda. Triss and her otter and hedgehog friend Shogg and Welfo are determined to leave the terrible island and to return to free the other wretched slaves...and to slay the Pure Ferrets to end the evil for once and for all!
Meanwhile, two Dibbuns from Redwall Abbey have wandered off and gone missing in the Mossflower Woods. As they are found about a day later during a storm by Skipper of Otters and Log-a-Log the Chieftain of Shrews, the Dibbuns tell the elders that they had found an oak tree which provided them shelter. The oak tree had a cunningly hidden door, they said and the older Abbey creatures realize that the babies had found the mysterious Brockhall! They decide to find the place. (here's where most of the poems, songs, and RIDDLES comes out!) But some evil beast (or beasts?) are living there and they are determined to defend their home...
At the great moutain of Salamandastron, the stronghold of badgers and hares, the young badger Sagax and his gluttonous hare friend Scarum have runaway from endless chores and from the stern paw of their parents. Meeting their otter friend Kroova, they both sail out into the sea, planning to go to Redwall where food and safety was. (Scarum is pretty happy about the food!)
All paths and purposes of the three main runaways are different, but of course, they all cross at the famous Redwall Abbey!
I thought that this book had all that a book needed: Excitement, suspense, humor, and lots of action! All 402 pages of it would keep you intrigued, although around the middle part it gets a bit slow. I thought that bantering with the Freebooters and Princess Kurda was in a way kind of funny! Scarum is, like all hares, totally exasperating and has that usual 'British accent, wot wot?' I'm sure anyone would enjoy reading "Triss"! My other favorite Redwall books I recommend are:
"Lord Brocktree"
"Taggerung"
"Martin the Warrior"
Of course, other Redwall books are cool too, but these are my favorites!
Rating: 4
Summary: WOT WOT! and all that jazz
Comment: Evil. Princess Kurda is a one of the most evil known. She has grown tired of using vegetables to practice her sword fighting on. Now she wants to use the slaves that are rebellious to practice her sword fighting moves.
Triss is the last book in the Redwall series by Brian Jacques. It is the 16th book in that series. The characters in this book are all different. The villains are cruel and pitiless and the heroes are brave and courageous. This book has all kinds of different things in it. It has sword fighting, friends, enemies, attacks, captures and much more. The adventures in this series and book are interesting and they show all of the characters points of view in a story. They all have their own personalities. This makes the story a lot more enjoyable to read.
All of the characters in the Redwall Series are animals. My favorite animal out of all of the characters is the hare. They always say "Wot wot!" and "flipin" and "blinkin." The hares always make me laugh because they eat enormous amounts of food and then say it was a "little morsel of scoff". These books are hilarious and exciting at the same time. Brian Jacques is one of my favorite authors.
