Can't I please give it 10 stars instead of 5? Pretty please?
Oh man, it's like a rat King Arthur meets Lord of the Rings! It's an adventure fantasy story with all the tropes associated with those genres. It's got humour, sadness, a tiny bit of romance, and lots of ragic (rat magic). Gondorff the Grey, Ravalon, and the Spork in the Scone! Come on, who wouldn't want to read that?
I listened to the unabridged audiobook version and loved it so much that I'm buying myself a hardcover copy so I can read it to my pet rats. And best of all? There's a cliffhanger!!! That means there will be more!!! (And maybe the series could be turned into a movie?!?!) Finally, a rat-positive book...and it's awesome!
Oh, and the mom is a redhead. Two thumbs up for that.
Read on,
Paula
