It’s not bad but it’s a bit to violent maybe not for the age of 5.

Good but maybe for older kids

Another all-around pleaser in story, singing, music, and cast performance. Full of adventure, heroism, and good over villainy. The little gibbons are hilarious and I love the hares’ properness, appetites, and loyalty. Absolutely loved it!

Another spectacular performance!

The only reason I gave it four stars was because I at least, think it has too much drama. I think it has too many battles and that the battles could have been a little more strategic. I would have liked more planning and more jokes, like in the rest of the books.

Too much drama

This was one of my favorite books when I was in 4th grade. Having the audio book now with the full cast of voices is very nostalgic.

Nostalgic

A wonderful telling of a classic tale of adventure and food. Redwall books are oft filled with adventures, battles, food, songs, and moments of peace. Mariel of Redwall is no exception to this and is a joy from start to finish.

The production brings this book to life in a wonderful way I was not expecting. All the characters are given rich voices that fit them. Even the songs within the book are sang and accompanied by instruments.

An Excellent Tale and Production

This is not a bad book. I feel almost guilty rating the story so low but it feels like a tired effort on the author’s part with recycled stories with less relatable characters. Unlike Martin or Matthias or characters in previous books, Mariel lacks the development or complexity to actually make you feel invested in her or her quest. Characters are highlighted by their annoying attributes (a hare with a horrible high pitched laugh, petulant children, Mariel’s temper and short sightedness, yet another rat who loses his mind because of weird visions, etc) and lack the depth of previous characters. Oh and the songs…. The damn songs… the story is not well served by breaking into irritatingly long musical numbers that do nothing to develop the story.

I don’t regret listening to this, but if you’re expecting it to hold up to the preceding redwall books your money may be better spent elsewhere.

Decent, with a few caveats
