I respect your opinion, but think about what would happen! Martin would probably marry Rose, therefor he wouldn't come across Kotir. If that hadn't happened, chances are there would be no Redwall Abbey, because Mossflower would be controlled by wildcats. As for the fans being sad about a kid's book, well, that's going to happen! Shogg died, fans were sad, yet the fans still love the series. Same with Feldoh and Jukka. I've read a TON of sad books where characters died, yet they're still really popular. Most people won't be that affected by a fictional character getting killed.
