Fantasy discussion

Agreed! I grew up love love loving the series (and wrote many a spinoff myself), and was reading them long after I realized that it's the same book over and over again. I'd personally recommend starting with Mossflower, since Redwall itself is still sort of finding its footing in the universe and Mossflower is more consistent, but that's purely a personal preference thing. (Mattimeo and The Bellmaker are, I think, both still my favorites. I really need to get my hands on them again.)
