Why I gave up on Brian Jacques

"I have no empty heroes. My goodies are good, and my baddies are bad. There are no schizophrenic goodies or sympathetic baddies. And children like it that way; it's not confusing. And they want the goodies to defeat the baddies."

Despite that claim, there were a few redeemed characters: the aforementioned Romsca, and a rat whose name I forgot.

I haven't read a Redwall book in years, but that Something Awful article speaks to my soul.

Children can get bored with black-and-white though 8| that's what happened with me. It always irritates me when people look down on children like they can't handle stuff like that.
Love the books, love the world, but they got SO REPETITIVE and PREDICTABLE. It's one of those series that I really wanted to read all the books, and I was so close to doing just that, but I finally just threw my hands up and quit out of frustration.

Back to the original secret, it's been a really long time since I read the series but yeah I do remember that one in particular irking me for those exact reasons.

He wrote in a time before all these progressive stories started becoming popular and his were basically like folk tales. So it makes sense to me. People really aught to write AU's they want if that is the case.

He's really underestimating kids here. I mean as a kid I really felt for Veil so I ended up hating The Outcast of Redwall
