A BREATH OF NOSTALGIA

�� Popsugar Reading Challenge 2019��
✨✨A book set in an abbey, cloister, monastery, vicarage, or convent✨✨

I remember watching Redwall on Saturday morning with my brother when I was a child, so finding out that it was based on a book was a real treat! I really enjoyed the characters and the classical, timeless themes of good vs. evil and coming together against a common foe.

👍 WHAT I LIKED 👍

Nostalgia: I always enjoy things that take me back to my childhood and this book certainly did that!

Children's book?: This is marketed as a middle grade book (as far as I'm aware) and the animated TV show was definitely for kids. But this book? I found myself cringing at some of the deaths in this book - in the best way! People today are so scared of showing our children anything remotely violent/dangerous/uncomfortable etc., so we create a world of unprepared adults, who know very little of the realities of life. Books like this is necessary because it doesn't hide anything.

Cluny: The evil rat, Cluny the Scourge, was a truly villainous and evil character! He was cunning, unscrupulous and diabolical in all the best villain-ways!
