Squire Julian was definitely in Mossflower and spent most of the time in his sister's dungeon in Kotir. But owls aren't mentioned until Mariel of Redwall which is the first mention of the Flitchaye to the North. (Went and checked maps.)

But yeah, as to your comment. Yeah, the books were always meant to be more black and white due to the fact he was originally writing for a younger reader despite the length of them. At least, that's what it always felt like to me. Harry Potter before Harry Potter so to speak. It was only later when Middle Grade and New Adult started becoming more of a thing instead of just Young Adult and Adult in publishing that they became more grey.

It does make me wish that Outcast was written later? But at least we can have good discussion about it.

Yeah, I don't hate it or anything but it is...worse because of the confines of the world he made.

SA or was Squire Julian the one who was descended from the Kotir cat and almost ate somebody and it turned out he was vegetarian.

-checks- Okay Gingivere was in Mossflower... Julian was in Redwall with Captain Snow.

How did I forget Captain Snow? I think a reread of these books is in order during my next headaches. Yeesh.

I hate this idea that young readers can't understand complex morality. I read Outcast as a kid and the ending never sat well with me. That was about when I stopped being excited for the series. If that was really his reasoning than I'm offended by his poor regard for his readers. We can read a novel that's hundreds of pages long, but we can't accept that someone with "bad genes" can grow up good?
