    I have no idea how I had never heard of Redwall until last year when Magic’s Bloomburrow set released. I grew up watching the Secret of NIMH, reading the comic, Redwall should have been the next logical step… but I missed it.

      I also missed out on Redwall… I knew of it’s existence, but somehow never got around to reading it… Until this year. I’m well into my 30’s but I have enjoyed it so far! Definitely worth the read.
