Epic. Brilliant. Magical. Memorable. Excellent lyrical quality to the writing.

Perhaps this would have been less confusing if I had read The first volume, The Wild Road. But as it is the plot is rather confusing with an Alchemist, supposedly killed earlier but then revealed to be still alive and pointlessly malicious. The cats seem far too human in some ways. I can't really recommend this.

Somewhat of an Arthurian quest told completely from the point of view of felines and a few companions of other animal species. These aren't just behaving as humans would, only happen to be animals, these beings perceive the world around them as one would imagine animals to do, their behavior toward each other and their opinions of the humans around them are quite catlike. In fact, humans rarely have much presence, except as providers of food, and with the glaring exception of the Alchemist and his minions.
The young Tag is recruited by the ancient Majicou to bring the King & Queen to Tintagel by the equinox.
I'm not sure I would recomment this to anyone younger than a teen. There is torture of cats (which at first I likened to modern use of animals for lab experiments--but it was more on the lines of Nazi experiments on humans, only the Alchemist's purpose differed), and many fights in which the animals are severely wounded & given up for dead.

I found the language and tone disruptive to the story. I wanted to like this more than I did, mostly because Watership Down is one of my very favorite books. This one didn't come close for me.
