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.

Summary: Another Great Tale of Redwall
Comment: I have been a fan of the Redwall books since reading the early ones to my son. He is now a teenager, and I am STILL reading the Redwall stories. While Loamhedge is my favorite story, Doomwyte will come in a close second. This book reminded me of the early Redwall books - full of twists and turns, riddles and surprises. And a few sad chapters as well. In this book, as in all the Redwall stories, evil is truly EVIL, good is truly GOOD; friends are made and loved ones are lost. I would highly recommend Doomwyte to all real Redwall fans.

Summary: Brian Jacques' Doomwyte: A Novel Of Redwall
Comment: Brian Jacques is a genius! I started reading the Redwall books to my two sons when they were about 7 & 8 and we read through and own every book in hardcover that he published. Doomwyte is the most recent I have purchased. My sons are 23 & 21 and the youngest just graduated from college and both are reading this newest book. The descriptions, the characters, the adventures are captivating!

Summary: A little bit below the usual Redwall fare
Comment: 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!
