"Marlfox" is the latest novel in the ongoing series about Redwall. Set in Medieval times, the series tells of a community of animals in a kingdom called Redwall. In this novel, Janglur Swifteye, a squirrel, and his other animal friends are forced to protect their families and friends from the Marlfoxes' attacks on their villages.  Meanwhile, Lantur, daughter of the High Queen of the Marlfoxes, Silth, has an evil plan to gain control over all of the Marlfoxes and satisfy her greed once and for all. 

I liked this book. The characters were very well created and very animated. The diction in the book is very medieval and I found myself getting confused in some of the conversations. I would suggest that if you want to read this book that you read the others in the series first. Otherwise you'll get lost.
