Readin' and Dreamin'

I figured out many things in the book: the parentage of the mummified twins, the incestuous relationship between Ailith and Redwall and the fact that it wasn't Lady Allenby who poisoned Brisbane. I also knew how the relationship of Julia and Brisbane would be at the end of this book. All thanks to an asshat who doesn't know how to use the goddamn spoiler feature.

I still think the second book in the series was the best book, so far. I think the fact that there was no murder mystery here is what bored me a few times. I mean, there is so much one woman can do and people she can talk to while cut off from civilization. Someone dying would have spiced it up.

And like the previous two books, what kept me interested in the book was Brisbane. I fear the the marriage of Julia and Brisbane will ruin the rest of the series for me, if there is more books. What kept me interested was the mystery surrounding him. With them married, that is out the window.

It was still an enjoyable book.

Oh, yeah, and the cover is absolutely hideous.
