Not finished reading it yet (I know, I'm a slow reader!!!) but I think I've read enough to give my input on it.

It definitely isn't my favorite, but it's certainly better than the last three books, in my opinion. Like what LPG said, instead of the villain being the stereotypical "DIE DIE REDWALL ME SMASH" we have a sly villainess who makes the boys carry out her dirty work, along with other interesting twists that make the story really shine.

Unlike some of the previous books, whose plots were recycled too many times for my taste, I have to add :/
