Yeah I believe that was Taggerung? RedWall had so many good stories.

100% that one

And, yeah, it had a lot of good stories, but the brilliance of that one was that SO MANY of the stories had those Convenient Reunions. Those Earned Happy Endings. The end of suffering.

That one said "Lol, nope. NOT THIS TIME. Also we're killing off a character from a prior book for the first time since Mattimeo."

#mattimeo was BRUTAL #back before brian was serialzied #I think I might be forgetting someone #but...killing off warbeak and...I wanna say Mrs Bankvole?#heck actualy genociding ALL of the Sparrows #I think there was one other example #and not in a prequel way #I know sometimes a character came back #redwall #the other best subversion was in mossflower #when Argulor didn't get his pine marten #brian knew how to hit hard #then in rakkety tam he broke his ''bad guys don't eat people'' rule #but that was also when I kinda fell off #he was very big on the ''your returning characters are safe'' rule #gosh those books were good
