Anyone ever read this wonderful series? It’s got multiple sagas to it.

Honestly this is just about the only fantasy I can enjoy if you don’t include wuxia. Something about woodland creatures with medieval technology hits realism in a way I can’t describe. Even with science fiction, I prefer hard scifi. Not sure what’s wrong with me, but it needs some semblance of, sure, it’s doable, why not?

Cute little mice with blacksmithed broadswords, send. Mole people making the most scrumptious eats for a feast, go for it. Otters crafting and rafting boats from the forest timber, my favorite.

Agreed, Brian Jacques created a whole universe.
