 Great book, one of the best, maybe 3rd best or so.

 *doesn't vote yet* I'm still only on like Chapter 5...since like three months ago. From what I can remember, it was definitely a good book, and I've heard much positive feedback on it. Definitely more than Loamhedge received anyway.

RWLers, your wish is my command...as long as it complies with the rules.

 I liked it very much, far better than anything recent in the series.  The villain was a bit flat but the high points of the book, like a strong sidekick and even a fairly well-developed main character, made up for it.

Underneath the blue sky, the wind blows toward the future,
as if embracing the rays of the sun.
Merely wandering along,
I leave behind only a trail of footsteps.

 I liked it better than Loamhedge or Triss, that's for sure. The character's were great. I agree, the villian wasn't a round and developed character, but between Tam and...whatever his side kick's name was, and that thief. And just quite a few great characters. One thing I am not liking is how these books aren;t really connecting anymore. I mean, MArtin the Warrior was in like 3 books. And then their were families throughout it all. Badges, like Brooktree, Boar, Sunflash. Just I liked that. How some beasts were in more than one book. (Dandin) Now these books are completely spaced out over time. But overall I really liked this book.

 I thought it was good. Original characters, decent storyline, and a liberal dose of humor.

 The villian wasn't as bad as you make it to be, and Tam was great, so was Doogy Plumm.

I liked the poems in there that went something like:

Rakkety Rakkety Rakkety Tam,
The drums are beatin' braw.
Rakkety Rakkety Rakkety Tam,
Are ye marchin' off tae war.

An' who will stand wi' Rakkety Tam,
tae win the King's Royal Banner?
Wild Doogy Plumm the Highlander,
of rough an' ready manner!

Those fighters o' the Long Patrol,
have vowed tae give no quarter,
a-roarin' blood'n'vinegar,
when chargin' tae the slaughter!
Glory, Glory, Man United!

 Isn't the wolverine the villain in Rakkety Tam?  I haven't read it yet.

 Yeah, Gulo the Savage, chasing his brother Askor, who is also a wolverine.
