As a novel of Redwall, Salamadastron just might be a bit dry, but it perked me up. All the animals of Mossflower are just doing their thing, baking Great Hall cakes and taking in “suffering” creatures. Though of course they don’t know these creatures are their enemies, there are still other problems to be solved. The King of Salamander is having difficulties with his daughter and squirrels are having trouble maintaining their urge to shoot arrows. But what’s with these orphans? There’s an assassin running around somewhere. Someone who likes to slay animals who gets in his way. Ferahgo the Assassin, a weasel as deadly as a dagger with beautiful blue eyes. What will become of Redwall Abbey when they meet with Ferahgo? This experience may turn into a war, it may turn into a pitiful disaster or it may just unite the animals together, making their bond stronger. Which will it be? Reading Salamandastron is the only thing you could do if you want to find out! Recommending this book to any child with imagination as great as theirs can be, would be the best choice to do. Please read this book and please enjoy!
