Hey, I like the subplots and gray characters! Personally, I think they make a much better story. Gray characters make it more interesting. That's the only thing Brian Jacques could have done differently to make a more exiting story. Make it a bit more gray. The subplots add interest because you get to see what's going on from different creatures point of view. To me the subplots and gray characters are important parts of the Redwall series.
