I cried for a really long time when I realized this new series was no longer in firestar's pov. Middle school me was devastated

[hal · Rating 4 out of 5]

Alrighty! I finally re-read all the New Prophecy books, with the exception of Moonrise as I don't own a copy and was too lazy to go to the library.
I'm currently re-reading the entire series so I can write new, updated reviews.

So note that this review is for ALL of the New Prophecy books (Midnight-Sunset). Also, another thing. Names change throughout the series as the cats grow up (a sort of Rite of Passage). For the sake of simplicity, I will refer to characters with the names they have in the first book. So Squirrelpaw/Squirrelflight will be Squirrelpaw.

Overall, the six books that make up the Warriors: New Prophecy sub-series are excellent. They definitely don't beat the original six, but certainly are worthy of being part of the Warriors saga.

What I liked:
1. Brambleclaw. Throughout all the New Prophecy books, I always felt that I could sympathize with him. He's got a lot of responsibility for someone his age (he's a cat so I'm not certain of his age. But I'm guessing that if he was human, he'd be 17-18 years old). But he handles it well. He has a good soul but he also struggles with the temptation of being like his power-hungry father, Tigerclaw. And this makes him more complex as a character. He makes mistakes, but learns from them too. The whole time I felt all his emotions. I was angry when something bad happened to him, I cheered when he was happy and overall, I just feel like he's a character one can really cheer for and support.

2. Although originally, I hated the change of setting because I was feeling nostalgic and sad that the home the Clans had lived in for generations upon generations was destroyed , now I appreciate it. The storyline would have grown boring without it.

3. The plot-line throughout the whole sub-series is interesting. It doesn't seem contrived, it doesn't seem unrealistic. Although the later three books (Starlight, Twilight and Sunset) are about the politics of the Clans settling into their new home (which I actually found fascinating but perhaps not everyone will), the first three books (Midnight, Moonrise and Dawn) are full of action and adventure.

Although I am a huge fan of the Warriors saga overall, I can see its faults and don't love everything about it. Here's what I had problems with in the New Prophecy books:
1. Insta-love. Holy crap, the Erins do love their forbidden romances. Yellowfang and Raggedstar. Bluestar and Oakheart. Graystripe and Silverstream. Tigerheart and Dovewing (in the Omen of the Stars books). In the New Prophecy books, we have Leafpaw and Crowpaw . I just don't see the attraction. She is a sweet, if naive at times, little thing while he is just so bitter. He's not really annoying (although I hated him at first), but he's just so different from her I don't see how it ever happened. Not to mention he was in love with another cat first.

2. A love triangle. These books have insta-love AND a love triangle, both of which I hate? And it still got four stars? How?? Because I love the Warriors saga too dang much. These things only apply to Twilight and Sunset anyways. Anyway, the love triangle is fought over a female character that I hate so I have to wonder how she got two intelligent and decent guy cats fighting for her. Rejection also turns one cat into an ass, and why, why, why did that have to happen? Ashfur was a decent cat, so I don't understand how he could have gone from such a sweetie to a complete asshole??

3. Squirrelpaw. This little bitch needs a slap. And a hard one. So at first, she was only a minor nuisance. Course I will claw- geez, I'm talking like the warriors now- anyone who disagrees with my Brambleclaw, who I have a sort of crush on (I know, it's sort of messed up cause he's a cat). So maybe that's why I didn't like her, because she was always picking fights with Brambleclaw. But on the journey, she proves her worth with her strength, her loyalty and her bravery. In Dawn, I definitely respected her a bit, just a bit more.
Then Starlight happened. And she got extremely possessive over Brambleclaw, which made me start to hate her. You see, Squirrelpaw was convinced that Hawkfrost, who is Brambleclaw's half-brother, cannot be trusted and he's just like their evil dad Tigerclaw. Even though there's absolutely no evidence for this except for her and her sister Leafpaw's gut feelings. Squirrelpaw constantly judges Hawkfrost. Brambleclaw, who is interested in having a relationship with his kin, also faces Squirrelpaw's judgement and anger because she feels that because Hawkfrost is untrustworthy, then Brambleclaw is untrustworthy too just because he spends time with Hawkfrost (I know, it's a lot of angst and drama).And it pissed me off beacuse hey, Squirrelpaw, you have no right ot tell him who he can and cannot be friends with. Brambleclaw is an adult and can take care of himself. What irks me even more was that in the end, Squirrelpaw was actually right and Hawkfrost turned out to be evil . And then Brambleclaw just goes crawling back to her. I just feel he deserves more, someone better than her.

And that's really it. Trust me, the good does outweigh the bad, so I do highly recommend this for Warriors fans. You may not be bothered by what bothered me. Overall an excellent series of books. Happy reading!

Re-reading this reminds me why this is my least favorite of the Warriors series.

I hate Squirrelpaw. If there were at least some legitimate reason why she was a jerk the whole time then I could at least tolerate her, but there is absolutely no reason for her behavior. I'm sorry if I can't relate or sympathize with a character who yells at everyone for no reason, has no respect for anyone, constantly talks backs, and gets herself into dangerous situations after being warned and then acts like it's their fault. There is no way I could ever root for a character like that. What makes it worse is that I feel as the author wants me to think what a great character she is and how wonderful and brave and strong she is... nope.

Then there's the whole traveling aspect of the book. The Erins aren't really good at writing them. They kind of drag. I could easily skim them and not miss much of anything. And considering that it takes up the vast majority of the book there really isn't much to actually read.

I'm determined to re-read the rest of these books though. It's just going to be a struggle for the next few of them.

I love the change of pace from the first arc of the series. Being in the mind of a new character was a nice change, and I loved seeing what happened directly after the first arc, especially from the perspective of a new character. That's all the praise I have for this book, I was left genuinely bored the majority of the length of this book due to the lack of progression in the plot, and how immensely predictable it was. It took me a long deal to finish this book because of how uninteresting it was, it doesn't have the heart of the first arc and follows the same formula, but struggles to add anything new. The characters are on this mailman-type mission going from one place to another, and there is no reward for getting to these places. Left upset after this one, and I'm still struggling to read through the next book of the series, this book has spoiled a lot of the fun of the series for me.

[Kaitlyn Thayne · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book was good. Not great, kind of boring at times. It held my interest enough, and it did the job it needed to do. It is a bridge between the first warrior cats series and the second. It does a great job at adjusting the focus from Firestar to Brambleclaw, Squirrelpaw, and Leafpaw.

I love that the old characters are still included, and that the stories are the same, we are just seeing the story unfold later on down the timeline. I have high hopes for the fur-ocious adventures to come.

Nothing really happened in this book it seems, but I’m not mad about it. It seemed necessary, and set up the rest of the series for success. I’m excited to see what is coming.

[Kennedy Cole · Rating 5 out of 5]

The utter excitement and heartache I felt while reading this book—WHICH IS THE FIRST IN A NEW SERIES BY THE WAY—are feelings which can only be elicited by a Warriors installment. Midnight is a true testament to nature and time, how both flow in tandem and are subject only to pause, never an end. My soul has evolved to a point where its hunger can only be satiated by the next fearsome feline tale—or tail, if I may be humorous—in this soap opera which shifts ever nearer to my heart. The Warrior cats series speaks to me in a way no other piece of literature dares to attempt—in susurrations, in song.

[Joseph Fullbright · Rating 5 out of 5]

While relatively slow, this book seems like a perfect launchpad for the second arc in the Warriors series. It was so cool to see the four chosen cats from each clan come together and go on the journey to 'Midnight' without anyone else having a clue as to where they are. One of my favorite parts of this book was seeing the interaction between these new cats (Brambleclaw, Squirrelflight, Leafpaw, etc.) and the 'original' cats from the first arc (Firestar, Graystripe, Cinderpelt, etc.). It's almost as if we somewhat grew up WITH those older cats.

Not a spoiler, but I got chill bumps reading the prologue- seeing the respective cats of the past select the chosen four to go on the journey to save the Clans. You'll just have to read it to understand! Oh, and Ravenpaw's brief interaction with Brambleclaw on pages 94-95 was truly EPIC and heartwarming.

I'm not a HUGE fan of the book switching and going back-and-forth between different cat's points of view, but that provided an alternative twist that was intriguing. Overall, it was awesome being introduced to the new generation of Warriors and following them on their journey. This book was so much fun and, as I mentioned earlier, did a GREAT job setting up the rest of the arc! I don't necessarily remember this second arc as much as the first, so I am greatly looking forward to re-reading it and seeing what happens next!

[Brinley · Rating 4 out of 5]

This series has always been one of my favorites, so I love to go back and reread it every few years. This mini series has always been one of my least favorites, it's not as quick paced as the first set, and I don't like all of the characters as much. I did still enjoy this, it just took me a bit longer to get through because it is mainly the cats wandering across the land. I'm excited to continue rereading this series and catch up on all of the books I missed!

Vier katten, één van elke clan, krijgen dezelfde droom, hen gezonden door de Sterrenclan. Ze moeten op reis gaan, want groot onheil gaat over het woud komen, dat alle clans in gevaar zal brengen. Geen van hen vertelt iets aan hun leiders. Dus gaan Braamklauw, Taanpels, Kraaipoot en Vederstaart op weg. er zijn ook nog twee andere katten die meegaan, Stormvacht, omdat hij zijn zusje Vederstaart niet alleen wil laten gaan, en Kwikpoot, een nieuwsgierige leerling die achter het plan gekomen is en mee wil met Braamklauw.
Het eerste deel van het boek gaat over de onzekerheid van de katten, of ze hun droom wel correct begrepen hebben, en hoe moeilijk ze het hebben met deze beslissing, en om het geheim te houden, en om alle vier samen te komen, omdat ze tenslotte elk van een andere clan zijn.
Dan begint wat je het tweede deel zou kunnen noemen, de eigenlijke reis. De katten moeten zich op totaal onbekend gebied begeven, wat de nodige gevaren met zich meebrengt. Gelukkig komen ze na een tijd een oude kat tegen, Snorre, die de weg weet naar de zinkendezon plaats. Hij vergezelt hen een hele tijd en, het belangrijkste, hij kan hen door de tweebeenplaatsen leiden.
En als ze eindelijk hun bestemming gevonden hebben, ontmoeten ze Middernacht, die hun vertelt welk gevaar er dreigt en wat de enige manier is om hieraan te ontkomen.
Ik had in verschillende recensies gelezen dat vele lezers dit het slechtste boek uit de reeks vonden, maar ik vond dit niet. Eerlijk gezegd heb ik mij veel meer geërgerd aan boek 5 (met de depressie van Blauwster). Inderdaad, je zou kunnen zeggen dat er niet veel gebeurt in dit boek. Zoals in een recensie stond: ze moeten op reis gaan, oh ze moeten op reis gaan, ja ze gaan op reis, een lange reis, ze krijgen een boodschap, en ze moeten terug.
Het gaat hier echter om veel meer. De katten van de verschillende clans krijgen een sterke onderlinge band, wat nodig zal zijn om alle clans te overtuigen eens ze terug zijn. En op hun reis leren ze nog veel andere dingen. Ik heb dit boek om zo te zeggen in één ruk uitgelezen.

[Willemijn jufwillemijnopallstars · Rating 4 out of 5]

Van te voren wist ik al dat we in serie 2 niet meer door de ogen van Vuurster kijken, maar door andere katten in de DonderClan. Waar ik verbaasd en blij over was, is dat je door de ogen van twee verschillende katten kijkt. Terwijl er eigenlijk drie katten de hoofdrol hebben.

De meeste tijd kijk je door de ogen van Braamklauw, hij is inmiddels krijger bij de DonderClan. Andere delen van het boek zie je door de ogen van Loofpoot, een van de dochters van Vuurster. De derde hoofdpersoon in het boek is Kwikpoot, de andere dochter van Vuurster. Kwikpoot en Braamklauw lijken een haat-liefde verhouding te hebben. Ze kunnen niet met en niet zonder elkaar. Als Kwikpoot de enige is die weet van het geheim van Braamklauw, is ze niet van het idee af te brengen om mee te gaan op missie. Loofpoot blijft achter in het DonderClan kamp, maar kan op een bepaalde manier contact leggen met haar zusje, althans dat probeert ze.

Middernacht is het eerste deel van de tweede serie. Ik heb voor het eerst een Warrior Cats boek 4 sterren gegeven. Er gebeurde namelijk heel erg weinig in dit boek. Alsof het de inleiding was van de rest van de serie. Wat er verteld werd, was hartstikke goed, maar er gebeurde heel weinig.

Het was erg leuk om over de nieuwe generatie katten te lezen, terwijl de andere katten nog niet dood zijn. Ik ben benieuwd wat er nog meer gaat gebeuren in serie 2.

[Kirsti · Rating 5 out of 5]

I felt like this book was set to be a bit of a letdown; after the ending to the first Warriors series, I really don't see how anything could compare. This definitely felt like an introduction, but still kept some of the same aspects and situations as the first series so as not to scare long time readers. There are also more 'travel' scenes, reminiscent of all the camping that goes on in 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'. You know they're all headed towards something, and you can't wait to get there with them.

I love the new characters, and the fleshing out of some old names. Firestar reads like Simba in the second Lion King movie, I've even got that song that plays when Kovu is chased from th pridelands stuck in my head now! -Deception, Disgrace, evil as clear as the scar on his faaaace!-

I am a fairly easy to please reader, and I don't really try books I know I'm not going to like (like that isn't obvious from my rating average) I don't mind reader filler scenes and introductions so long as there is action somewhere, and from this ending you can tell the series will pick up. I will be there to follow the journey, I know I have the next few books. Look out for new reviews is the coming days!

EPIC! Yeah, it's time to follow the next generation of warriors! This is the first book of the 2nd arc, The New Prophecy, WARRIORS. Several peaceful moons (6 months) have passed since the last book - The Darkest Hour. Lot's of exciting stuff happens and we learn a lot, as new characters come into this series. It may be strange to have new main characters at first but you quickly get to love them just as much as Firestar and Graystripe. The book alternated between different viewpoints which is good, as it propels the story forward and they always start at a different viewpoint when something really exciting happens. This means it's really hard to put the book down and makes it more enjoyable in my opinion. Full of thrilling suspence, gasps and overall a really enjoyable book. We follow The Chosen Cats from Thunderclan, Shadowcaln, Windclan and Riverclan on a JOURNEY.... Friendships are made, new places are discovered and new problems arise. AWESOME - :)

I loved the Warriors as a child & I've been working on rereading and reviewing them as an adult. :) series 1 was a fantastically fun trip down memory lane.

"Midnight" the 1st book of the "new prophecy" series however was not as fun as the 1st series.

It wasn't the writing. Or the adventure. The plot & writing are good. Destruction coming? A quest to save everything & everyone the cats love? Great simple basis for a great kids series. We even get a brand new cast of characters: the second generation of heroes is here. Including the children of the original cats.

Leafpaw & squirrelpaw, the daughters of the legendary hero Firestar.

Stormfur & Feathertail, the children of Greystripe, Firestar's brave sidekick.

Brambleclaw & Twanypelt, the kids of the terrible evil Tigerstar.

& for some reason, a random apprentice from windclan who seems to have no connection to anyone important.

Now, all these characters had potential.& some of them were decent. Feathertail is sweet. Stormfur is super loyal to his sister, most likely from judgement & isolation from their clan. (From what I've read in "crookedstars promise " riverclan cats can be serious bitches.) Twanypelt is strong & brave & loyal. She wants nothing more than to prove her loyalty, a standard in any warrior. But these traits are extra admirable & dominant after switching from thunderclan & having and evil father. Leafpaw is sweet & sort of naïve, but we can forgive her. She seems pretty sheltered.

These are all good characters. Not great, but good & that leaves a lot of room for development in later books.

My main issue in "midnight" was actually Squirrelpaw and brambleclaw and Crowpaw. They had so much potential, so much that could have been done with them. brambleclaw COULD have suffered bullying and distrust because of his father. He COULD have struggled with anger, bitterness, been torn between loyalty to the clan & his sister. He could have had low self esteem & been terrified that he'd turn out just like tigerstar, especially after Firestar started freaking out at him for nothing.

Nope. To make up for his dad being such a sick fucked up bad guy with no motivation beyond the boring world domination ploy, we are given an incredibly boring, WAY to perfect Marty stew. :( he's great at hunting and fighting. He's popular. He's brave & loyal. If he's ever in trouble, he's always right and his anger is always justified. He can do no wrong. AND on top of all of that everyone in the group of cats who go to the sundown place just accepts his leadership. Sure The younger ones bitch about its a little, but that's it. No one really questions it, they just go with it. You'd think Twanypelt would pitch a fit or stormfur would grumble about thunderclan trying to rule everything. No.he just gets to boss everyone around. Maybe because he's so perfect and nice? I don't know, but he's just not interesting. He's flat & boring.

Then there's squirrelpaw. >:( God do I hate her. She's such a smart ass bitch. She's rude to brambleclaw, her mentor, her father. She's supposed to come across as brave and independent. Nope. She's rude and mean and stupid. So disrespectful! (Maybe she feels entitled because her fathers the clan leader?) this alone wouldn't be so bad. If there were a reason for her behavior that is. There is absolutely no reason for her to act like that. She's terrible to everyone who cares about her. She's dumb as a brick. Like when someone tells her not to do something because it's not safe, she'll do the exact opposite just to prove a point. There's a difference between being strong willed and a totally moronic ass.

& Crowpaw..... Maybe he (& the other two) will shape up, but I doubt it. He's as bad as squirrelpaw. He's a dick for no reason. & we don't even know why. Feathertail tries to make excuses but their sad. Just cause he's lonely is no reason to be pissy at the others. Didn't his clan teach him to be respectful to warriors, even ones from other clans?

It also took forever to get going. Loads & loads of pages before they even leave, & then it drags on & on. Leaf paws point of view was better, but not by much.

It's a bad opening. (Honestly, it was not as good as I remembered. I started skimming near the end just to be done.) I think they get better as they go on, but still. The first book of a series, even a follow up series, should not be such a chore to get through. It's not awful, really, but it's not good. kids will enjoy but adult readers might be annoyed. :/ recommended for warrior fans, but get through as fast as possible to get to better books. I think the next one has another group of cats, a tribe. That'll ought to be cool, yes?

Midnight (Warriors: The New Prophecy, #1) by Erin Hunter (Pages: 3 or 400.)


I loved this book because this time the main character wasn't Firestar, it happened to have 2 main characters! The 2 main characters this time are Brambeclaw and a new medicine cat apprentice (AKA: Firestars daughter) Leafpaw. Leafpaw is having visions of her sister, Squirrelpaw and what she faces while Brambleclaw got a new prophecy: Darkness, Air, Water, And sky will shake the forest to its roots. Nobody knows what it means (Well, Brambleclaw doesn't since he didn't tell anybody at all about this dream.)
Also, atleast 4 cats from each clan got a dream. These cats are: Brambleclaw, his sister: Tawnypaw, Crowpaw, and Feathertail. They each got a dream from old starclan members that there was danger coming. (But Firestars other daughter, Squirrelpaw and another Riverclan warrior, Stormfur, came for extra protection on a long journey to a place that is very dangerous.) The 6 cats are all going on an adventure to a sun-drown-place, when the sun goes down, it is red and the water is salty and there is a huge cave with sharp teeth. Brambleclaw had a dream of this and he decided Starclan wanted them to go there. So now all 6 cats are going on an adventure to somewhere no forest cat has really been before!

I believe everyone should read this book cause there is some events that nobody would of experienced in the first series: The prophecies begin.

Este libro me daba un poco de cosilla por si fuera demasiado infantil para mí, pero la verdad es que la historia engancha y se lee en seguida, el libro es muy fácil de leer y nos adentramos en los clanes junto a los gatos mientras cazan y resuelven sus disputas.
El libro es bastante introductorio, podemos conocer a gatos del Clan del trueno y del río , mientras que los otros clanes quedan un poco relegados.
Me ha gustado mucho la personalidad de Zarzoso y Esquirolina, él es un gato responsable y quien ha sido elegido para descubrir la profecía y ayudar a los clanes, Esquirolina es una gata traviesa, desobediente y aventurera que no se deja pisotear por nadie, será quien acompañe a Zarzoso en su aventura por cabezonería.
Luego tenemos a dos hermanos del clan del río, Plumosa y Borrascoso, a Corvino del clan del viento y a Trigueña, la hermana de Zarzoso, quien está en el clan de la sombra, juntos tendrá que descubrir cuál es la profecía y enfrentarse a peligros para poder llegar a su destino.

3 stars. buddy read

I completely forgot what happened since the first time I read this book. Compared to the first read, it was a bit lackluster. It was an introduction back into the world and building up the plot, so it was a bit slow. I liked how Hunter came up with new names for the cats instead of repeating them endlessly. Even though I have ranked this book a bit low compared to the others, I feel like it will get better in time.

4/5 stars - Nov. 27 2013
*** spoiler review ***

I have to say, I honestly doubted Hunter since she changed the POV to Brambleclaw from Firestar. Also, how Firestar seemed like a closeminded cat and pushing Squirrelpaw from Brambleclaw, which didn't work out ...

The journey to the sun-down place was interesting. From meeting Purdy, having milk, the rat encounter, the plains, to the sun-down place. I also liked Midnight, I did not expect that and it changed my whole thinking of the book.

Can't wait to buy the next one!

Creo que una idea general de lo que va el libro ya se encuentra en la sinopsis por eso mejor dejaré unas opiniones. Este primer libro de la segunda saga me tenía nerviosa y emocionada por lo perfecta que es la primera saga. Me va gustado casi tanto como la anterior y se puede comenzar a leer sin leer la primera porque explican lo necesario. Los personajes que más me gustaron son la gata Esquirolina y en solitario Puma. Casi al final el libro se vuelve algo lento y tedioso, honestamente ahí pensé en no continuar leyendo, pero en el momento perfecto té inyectan la dosis necesaria de adrenalina y siento que incluso lo difícil que se había sido seguir el hilo del libro es para sentirte más identificado con los personajes. No puedo decir más sin soltar spoilers pero definitivamente vale la pena darle una oportunidad a esta historia.
