Outlaws of Redwall is the book that killed Redwall for me as well, and basically everyone else I've ever spoken to has said the same.
Also, a shout-out to the sad sidekick pirate rat in -- I think it's Joseph the Bellmaker? -- who is actually quite sweet and just wants to babysit the Redwall kids, but instead iirc self-exiles to become a hermit in the woods after helping to defeat the bad guy because Even Nice Rats Just Cannot Hang With The Good Species, It Is Known.
(Unrelatedly, I will take the opportunity to pose question I have asked many, many times and will continue to ask so long as Redwall Discourse exists on the internet: WHERE do the mice get their cream from? WHAT DO THEY MILK.)
