More fun in Mossflower

4 stars

Another fun book. Made more fun by a good audio-cast. Jacques does a great job of bringing the world alive. And it's a world with likeable people. It even is bringing the mid-evil world more understandable too.

I do wish that some of the species werent so evil. Like a good guy rat or weasel. There is a good guy owl here, which the last owl was dubious, yet dangerous. Not to mention another bird of prey late in the book. But I wish not ALL the rats, stoats, weasels, foxes, etc were bad guys. Oh, wait, there was a good guy cat in the last one too. Still, just one rat. gimme one good guy rat.
