Doomwyte: A Novel of Redwall
On a moonless night, two rats follow hypnotic lights into the forest, never to be seen again. Such is the power of the Doomwytes, sinister ravens led by the deadly Korvus Skurr. And when the young mouse Bisky persuades the creatures of Redwall Abbey to go in search of a fabled treasure, hidden long ago by one of the abbey’s most notorious thieves, they do not suspect Skurr and his ravens will be vying for that very treasure. Bisky and his fellow Redwallers must summon all their courage to face the evil horde of slithering snakes and vicious ravens. From underground tunnels to the tops of trees, the fearless Redwallers, with the help of their woodland friends, battle some of their most vicious enemies yet in an exhilarating, terrifying treasure hunt.

Let me start this off by saying I am a HUGE fan of Brian Jacques and all of his Redwall books. I have read them all and enjoyed them a lot. Yes, they do tend to follow the same formula, but honestly, that is part of the reason I love them. I know what to expect and yet there is always something new thrown in there.
All that to say I read Doomwyte and was a bit disapointed when I finished it. First off, I found the gore factor to be rather high in this one, not in actual battle scenes...but how several characters were killed off. Death by boiling water was to me, a tad more gruesome than earlier books. Also, I found the torturing scenes to be a bit much. Especially as they kept going on and on. And finally I was a bit annoyed at how at the end of the book, anybeast who had lived had apparently been married off. It was just such a neat and tidy ending that almost didn't seem to flow with the rest of the book.
As a whole, I enjoyed this book. I was just surprised at how Mr. Jacques seems to have upped the "disturbingness" of this book. It was not needed and for me, it took away from the story.
Still, I recommend this book to anyone (with a word of caution) and continue to be a lifelong fan of the Redwall series and Brian Jacques!
My grandson loves this series even though he is now a freshman in high school, a credit to Brian Jacques who tells intriguing and engaging stories appealing to all age groups.
I am very impressed with Doomwyte and I must say this is one of the better Redwall books I've read. Actually this is one of the best book i've ever read.If you are new to Redwall you should Read Redwall first.5 stars
