Fantasy. Fiction. Literature. HTML: The Magnificent Seven meets The Wind in the Willows in this action-packed fantasy adventure from Daniel Polansky, The Builders. A missing eye. A broken wing. A stolen country. The last job didn't end well. Years go by, and scars fade, but memories only fester. For the animals of the Captain's company, survival has meant keeping a low profile, building a new life, and trying to forget the war they lost. But now the Captain's whiskers are twitching at the idea of evening the score. PRAISE FOR THE BUILDERS "A living, breathing world of vivid, winsome characters hellbent on their blaze of glory and as unforgiving as a runaway train carrying all your friends over a cliff. I haven't cared about animals this much since Watership Down." �?? Delilah S. Dawson, author of Hit and Wicked as They Come "Nobody does dark like Polansky. The Builders is Redwall meets Unforgiven, combining the endearing wit of Disney's Robin Hood with all the grit and violence of a spaghetti western." �?? Myke Cole, author of the Shadow Ops serie… (altro)

The Wild Bunch meets Watership Down is a very apt description. I was a huge Redwall nerd growing up (both the cartoon and the novels) so this was a great way to start the new year!

Daniel Polansky is definitely one of my favourites now. I really enjoy his stand-alone fantasy novels immensely. Can't wait to continue reading his work. (

It's about a bunch of really violent animals and it's absolutely awesome. (

This is the adult equivalent to [b:Dinosaur Kisses|17262289|Dinosaur Kisses|David Ezra Stein|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1367256816s/17262289.jpg|23859089] by [a:David Ezra Stein|400898|David Ezra Stein|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1272901213p2/400898.jpg].

It's a fun book, a good book, but in the end, the author is laughing at his own joke while I'm wondering what just happened. (

I read this shortly after reading Low Town, which means I came into it with the most favorable opinion of Polansky I could possibly have had (Low Town was fabulous), and still, this really didn't speak to me. The anthropomorphism just didn't do it for me. Granted, I don't really have that Redwall background a lot of you do have, so calling it Redwall for adults just falls flat for me. I found this kind of shallow and superficial, and I just didn't ever manage to hook into it. :/ I was at like 90% for a week before I finally powered through the last ten pages, I just wasn't into it.

this was truly terrible, and i don't know why the writer would think it was a good idea to foist his adolescent scribbling on readers, i must assume for the sheer joke of doing so. (
