About this listen

 With millions of books in print, Brian Jacques' New York Times best-selling Redwall series is among the most popular sagas of all time. Now the riveting fifth book in the series comes to full and vibrant life in this extraordinary production, featuring the vocal talents of a remarkable cast of skilled performers.

While the good creatures of Redwall Abbey relax during the hot summer, the mountain stronghold of Salamandastron is under siege. Ferhago the Assassin and his band of vicious weasels throw all their fury against Lord Urthstripe the Strong, Badger Lord of Fire Mountain and ruler of Salamandastron. When a lightning bolt uncovers the sword of Martin the Warrior, young Samkin begins an adventure that leads him toward the battle...and toward the ultimate triumph of good.

This is has good has the others, though slightly les of the redwallers, but has I love the hares from salamandastron I am worried.
Feel what was happening at Redwall was just a side story though it tries in at the end.
The only problem I had is there is a couple of bits where it returned at a point slightly later than where we left it & you get the feeling that you have missed something like it missed a page, you return in a middle of a battle without knowing how, but you can work out what happened, if you can remember what was happening in that bit last time you were there.
Has with all of this series of books, don't listen with large periods of time between listens, has with so many little stories all linking in unless you have a great memory you might just forget what was happening in each little group, I sometimes forget when it's only a couple of days or forgetting what creature everyone is, didn't help that for some reason I kept picturing ferargo and glitse has foxes and for getting that Aurora was a mole.

Loved it, I really enjoy these Redwall stories
