Question for the thread: out of the books you've read, which one is your favorite/most remembered or your least favorite/most forgettable? For me, my least favorite is easily Salamandastron. It has good things about it but I really disliked several characters and I think there was too much going on for any of the plot threads to get the attention they needed. Choosing a favorite is more difficult but if someone put a gun to my head I would just say Martin the Warrior.

I know I read Loamhedge but all I remember from it is the wheelchair character suddenly not needing her wheelchair at the end, so that's probably my least favorite.

I enjoyed The Legend of Luke. Always figured from the way Martin the Warrior set him up that he must be having some pretty big offscreen adventures (because if he was just some chump who died in the backstory he might as well have died in that flashback instead of sailing away) so the whole segment with Luke taking the fight to the searats was just about exactly what I wanted on that front, and I'm a sucker for the kind of retracing-the-steps story that makes up the rest of the book in Martin's time - it's part of what I liked so much about the first book, the sort of scavenger hunt for Martin's relics.

Not sure if it fits here, but I found full episodes free on YouTube.

Cool intro aside, I hated how much they changed from the first book. In particular adding new characters and scenes that weren't necessary and making it so Methuselah survives long enough for Matthias to say goodbye. I also seem to recall the third season pussifying things too much. The second season is most accurate to the source material, and Tim Curry as Slagar was cool.

That was my least favorite thing about Loamhedge too, because there's no explanation for it and the solution they bring back to the Abbey is also unsatisfactoy. Willpower? Really nigga? Legend of Luke is patrician taste, good pick.

Edit: If the Redwall wiki is to be believed, the Netflix adaptations are cancelled and they no longer have the rights. Probably a W considering the state of animation/entertainment right now.
