Even though the earlier Warrior serieses was dramatic and such, I think this one really took the cake. If they up the drama like this, I fear for where this series will go. The prize for the cat with the most character development and character growth goes to Jayfeather though. DAMN, I say! Brambleclaw has been my favorite since he first showed up in this looooong series. But now I will have to say Jayfeather is close to stealing his place. I really really disliked that character in the beginning of these books when he first showed up, but he has really grown on me!

There are currently eight sub-series, each containing six books: The Prophecies Begin, The New Prophecy, Power of Three, Omen of the Stars, Dawn of the Clans, A Vision of Shadows, The Broken Code, and A Starless Clan. Other books have been released in addition to the main series, including lengthier "Super Edition" novels, several novellas, seven guide books, and several volumes of English-language manga. The series has also been translated into several languages. BlueStar, leader of the cats, says that it will never be possible. All cats are terrified of fire. The novel also utilizes a combination of a cat and human language English lexicon that uses more cat like works in a fashion that has been compared to Harry Potter and the Redwall series by Brian Jacques. The pseudonym Erin Hunter was specifically chosen for the proximity to Jacques’ in a library as they believed followers of the Redwall series would also be open to the fantasy world of intelligent animals in their own, unique domain.

On 28 September 2023, it was announced that the first arc, The Prophecies Begin, was to be adapted to graphic novels by Natalie Riess and Sara Goetter. I like continuity and patterns, and this book and in fact series failed at that in several ways, the first being that each series is supposed to be one chapter in the history of the Clans and once it is over it is only a story for the elders to tell and no longer really spoken of. Obviously that's not the case with this series and the next. The whole six books were about learning about their powers, the cats who lived before, and about their parentage. The next series will likely be about the new kit, teaching and helping her learn to be one of the three, and actually coming into their power, so two series combined make up the story of the Three. Holmes used classical themes of love, politics, war, and religion and soon had enough material for a first novel. Harper Collins decided to green light for a six book series. All four use the collective pen name of Erin Hunter. Into The WildThe Rise of Scourge • A Shadow in RiverClan • Winds of Change • Exile from ShadowClan • A Thief in ThunderClan I had NO CLUE about Hollyleaf being the one who killed Ashfur, though. I thought it was Squirrelflight for sure – there was SO much evidence! How could it be Hollyleaf? We're in her point of view all the time, in her head! How could we not know? Wouldn't she think about it before we find out from someone else? It doesn't make sense. But, I mean, come on! Hollyleaf? HOLLYLEAF, the one who is always so dedicated to the warrior code? Kill someone? That's SO messed up! What's gotten into her? There is a famous death in the fan community that occured in this book, something which I was aware of before I even began this series. And maybe I built it up too much, but my goodness was it a rushed death!!! It happened in the blink of an eye and felt absolutely pointless, like the Erins had no way of fixing the problems Hollyleaf was suffering from so they felt they had no choice but to just... kill her? Or was it the other way around - because she 'needs to die' for the sake of the plot, as we all know, was it that they struggled to find a believable way to kill her off and failed anyway? Make it make sense! Maybe it's just my preference, but it seems way more mystical and prophecy-fulfilling for the Three to come from the same litter. Jayfeather and Lionblaze will always be closer than Dovekit or Ivykit will be to either of them. It kind of feels like the Erins made up a subsitute. I mean, why them and not Hollyleaf or whichever kit isn't chosen? The way we all thought it was made more sense. Hunter, Erin. Sunset (Warriors: The New Prophecy , Book 6) (Audio CD).

The series often revolves around forbidden love. These relationships are not allowed for various reasons stated in the warrior code. Holmes said that another central theme of the series is "faith and spirituality" regarding StarClan. [74] All books in the series feature the influence of StarClan, not just as the cats think of them, but in terms of prophecies delivered by StarClan which inevitably come true. Some scenes take place within StarClan's realm, with no living cats present. Thus, the existence of an afterlife and the influence of spirits who have passed on and yet retain their earthly identities is integral to all of the plot arcs in the series. Another idea explored in the novels is the reactions of different faiths when meeting each other. For example, the Tribe of Rushing Water, which believes in different spiritual ancestors than the Clans, is introduced in Moonrise. In an author chat, Holmes explained that the books never say that either the Clans or the Tribe of Rushing Water is right about faith because both are "equally valid". This leads to fear and suspicion between them because they are afraid of things they do not understand. Holmes remarked that "ignorance is a very scary thing!" [75] Non-belief is also explored in the storylines through characters who do not believe in StarClan. [76]Into The Wild is the first novel in the Warriors series. It tells the story of wild cats whose ancestors passed down the tradition of sharing the forest among the four clans. The Four Clans are called the ShadowClan, ThunderClan, WindClan, and RiverClan. The clans live within the forest and by water and pursue their own type of prey in addition to having or being taught special skills relevant to their clan and territory.
