This Mariel of Redwall review reads Mariel of Redwall as a fantasy novel that uses the promises of fantasy novel to test magic, power, invented history, moral scale, and the cost of wonder. Mariel of Redwall belongs first on the fantasy shelf, but it becomes more useful when the reader treats category as a doorway rather than a verdict. The book also reaches toward young adult, which is why a single shelf label would be too narrow for Mariel of Redwall.
The main reason to review Mariel of Redwall is not reputation alone. Brian Jacques's Mariel of Redwall gives readers a specific problem to test: how a work handles magic, power, invented history, moral scale, and the cost of wonder. That question is more useful than asking whether Mariel of Redwall is simply famous, popular, difficult, comforting, or culturally familiar.
