Thank you Warriors for making me relive my first heartbreak in 4K
Before it came out:
I'm sat. Midnight and Moonrise were the first warriors books I read so I know this is going to absolutely destroy me (in the best and worst way)

I wish they could somehow make these faster because the next one doesn’t come out until next year

After marathoning my way last year to catch up with the Warriors collection, I’m loving that I get to re-experience all of the adventure, drama, and heartbreak again in FULL COLOR through these graphic novels. It’s giving me something to look forward to.
This is SO GOOD.
If you’re a fan of the series, I highly recommend picking up these graphic novels. I LOVE the illustration style so much. It’s so dynamic and expressive. I think this adaptation is really capturing what makes this world and these cats so endearing and compelling~

Really really good. I've followed Sammy Savos for a long time and I'm thrilled to see her doing a warriors thing, her art style is perfect for it :') i love how lively and ADORABLE everyone is in this seriously just so cute.

This is a really great book for people who just can't really get into the second arch of Warriors!
The art (In my opinion) is amazing. I don't exactly like that the Graphic novels make relationships that weren't even there exist. :(
Anyway, all and all. This was a really good adaption with a little bit of inaccurate parts.

May 30, 2026Chances are, if you know a middle-grade reader, you're already familiar with Erin Hunter's expansive Warriors universe. And that reader is likely either apathetic toward the series or, especially if they're a cat lover, has devoured a large portion of it, is anxiously awaiting this book, and will tear through it as soon as they receive it. It's great to see the graphic novel line continue to expand and serve an even wider range of those rabid fans.
Some of those fans may find the change in illustrator for this new arc jarring, but they'll all be excited to revisit familiar favorite characters and watch their stories continue to unfold. Despite being the first book in this arc, this is definitely not a good entry point to the broader Warriors universe, as there's a lot of inside baseball. (I'm sure someone has already created a recommended reading order for these books, much like the countless videos explaining the "best" Cosmere reading order.)
For newcomers, a warning: this story is sadder, more violent, and more psychologically intense (and even a bit cult-like) than you might expect from the relatively cute illustrations and straightforward premise of a society of feral cats.
Thanks to HarperAlley and NetGalley for the advance reading copy of this highly anticipated book.

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
Disclaimer: I received an advance review copy from the publisher for the purposes of this review.
The Clans have to face danger yet again. The spirit ancestors send a warning to four warriors, one from each Clan, prophesying a great danger unless they can travel to a distant place and meet Midnight. The four chosen ones, joined by two friends, go on a quest through various new locations and meet various challenges while learning how to work together.
The New Prophecy: Graphic Novel is the fourth illustrated adaptation of the series, covering roughly the same material as the novels Midnight and Moonrise. I really enjoyed this book. I think it really succeeds at what the previous three graphic novels did well and that is combining compelling storytelling with amazing visuals.
The writer and the artist are different compared to the previous graphic novels, but they performed their parts more or less as well as their predecessors. The art style is different, but characters maintain visual consistency with the previous works, which makes them easily recognizable.
Sammy Savos, the new artist, is great at creating strong visual moments and utilizing artwork to serve the narrative purposes. There are many great establishing panels, which help to set up the world, build up the mood or add to the grandeur of the story. I also appreciate that the designs for cats feel more defined, though their variety leaves a lot to be desired. Lack of distinction in faces seems to be the biggest problem for the artist.
The story feels different from the previous graphic novels, and I welcome the attempts to keep it fresh. The plot isn't as dense, so the adaptation doesn't feel as hectic and there's more space to breathe and enjoy the beats, instead of rushing from one to another. The focus is instead on the sizable group of travelling cats and their relationships and growth.
I enjoyed our new protagonists a lot more than I enjoyed Fireheart from the previous graphic novels. Although his adventures were entertaining, he was relatively generic. With our main group having so many cats this time, establishing distinct personalities for them was crucial to success. And it works, for the most part. The characters feel different and interesting and they really bounce off each other well. My favourites are boisterous Squirrelpaw and grumpy Crowpaw, especially when these two get to interact with each other. Not only did all the cats get close to each other, but I felt I got close to them, too.
As an adaptation, I have nothing but praise for it. The originals suffered from some structural problems, which made lengthy parts of the book feel repetitive. Some elegant cuts, dialogue changes and visual storytelling improve the flow significantly in this regard, without losing anything of value. Purists may be unhappy because of the changes, but they serve to improve the story.
It does, unfortunately, suffer from a few other structural problems. The panelling had some flaws. A couple of scenes feel abrupt, unnecessary or just badly planned, and that's not something I remember happening with the previous graphic novels. Let's look at one of the scenes in detail to demonstrate the problem.
At the end of the journey to find Midnight, Brambleclaw walks up to the edge of the cliff, which then crumbles under him. This causes him to fall down a long distance, and he ends up yelling for help while in the sea. The very next panel shows him already on dry land. How did the other cats get down from the cliff? How did they rescue him from the sea? In order for it to not feel so disjointed, we'd need at least two more panels showing that. Alternatively, the scene could be cut, because with him being rescued immediately, it doesn't create a sense of danger, so it serves no purpose. Thankfully, problems like this aren't common, but this is not the only example.
The character designs could use more variety, the storytelling could be a bit tighter, and there are a few other minor issues, but despite all that, the book is still captivating. Both the writer and the artist did tremendous work and each page is a pleasure to read. The characters' chemistry is great and the journey is breathtaking at its best. A strong recommendation from me.

Pretty solid four stars. This was a super fun addition to the graphic novel canon!
To start: the ART. There’s a new artist for the New Prophecy arc, and wow is her art gorgeous. I loved the style of the first three graphic novels a lot, but I think I enjoyed this even more. All the character designs were gorgeous and matched their previous graphic novel iterations well, and the lighting decisions for each scene was absolutely breathtaking. In particular, the frames of all six questing cats together were always standouts, and I also loved all the sequences on the cliffs at the sun-drown-place; the red sun and twilight lighting was gorgeous. I also like that the change in style between the first three and this new addition isn’t a drastic one; it’s mostly slight differences in how the cats are drawn and a couple different choices in how framing and pacing of panels is used. It makes the series feel very cohesive, and makes the change in artists feel like a stylistic decision to mark the change of the arc rather than an abrupt, confusing shift like other series can sometimes have.
As for the writing, I generally think this was stronger than the first arc. The New Prophecy is a pretty bad case of filler in the Warriors series (mostly because it’s just cats walking the whole time), especially in later books in the arc, so smushing two of them into one book actually doesn’t do much of a disservice to the story. As usual, one book (Moonrise) felt a little rushed compared to the other, but it was definitely noticeably less obvious than in the last three books. Moonrise also starts almost exactly halfway through the book, which definitely helps the pacing too. For some reason though, while the book had a prologue and a part 1 marker, I didn’t find any part 2 or 3 like in the previous installments. I’m assuming that was a mistake in editing, so hopefully the next one fixes that. Honestly, though, that’s pretty minor compared to my writing issues with previous Warriors graphic novels. I think this one’s generally stronger than the first arc so far.
Okay, final thoughts because there isn’t much else to do besides gush: Ravenpaw and Barley were adorable, the tiny paws in this artstyle are also super cute, Squirrelpaw’s coloring is so satisfying to look at for some reason, the one frame of Sharptooth silhouetted by lightning was horrifying in the best way, and I clocked that Spirit and Rain reference with the horses! (As a longtime fan of that movie, I approve:)
I’m excited to see the next one in a year or so!

Thank you to NetGalley for providing this ARC.
The artwork in this graphic novel is absolutely stunning. The cats are expressive, the landscapes are gorgeous, and the illustrations do a wonderful job bringing the world of Warriors to life. If you’re already invested in this series, I think you’ll enjoy seeing these characters and their adventures illustrated in such a beautiful way.
Unfortunately, I found the story difficult to follow. Even having read the first book in the original Warriors series, I spent much of the graphic novel wondering, “Who is this, and where am I?” Without chapter breaks or clear transitions, it was hard to keep track of which Clan I was following or remember who each cat was. A simple character guide with names, Clans, and roles—or even a brief recap of previous events—would have made a huge difference in helping readers stay oriented.
This feels like a graphic novel created primarily for existing Warriors fans rather than newcomers. While the adaptation is visually impressive, I don’t think I’d recommend it as someone’s introduction to the series. If you already know and love these characters, I suspect you’ll have a much smoother experience than I did. For me, the gorgeous artwork elevated the reading experience, but the confusing pacing and lack of context kept me from fully enjoying the story. 3.5⭐
Who Should Read This?
Established Warriors fans, middle-grade readers who are already following the series, libraries with existing Warriors collections, and young readers who enjoy fantasy adventures featuring animal characters.

I want to love the graphic novels so badly, but they feel so incomplete. There's no build up. There's no emotion. It's all just sudden. Feathertail and Crowpaw's relationship for example. It came out of absolutely nowhere in the graphic novel. Very unlike the book, where there's little jokes and conversations that build into a romance that the reader cares about. Without having read the novel, I don't think I would care about these characters the same. It's hard to figure out who some of the characters are in this one too. It's drawn by a different artist than the first three as well, and I don't think it's done as well. The cats just aren't as adorable. All in all, I'm disappointed. I love Warriors, but this just made me want to go back to the novels. I don't really have a desire to read this one again. Just the original books. Those I will forever want to reread.

Four cats from the Wind, Thunder, Shadow, and River Clans must come together to listen to Midnight at the New Moon. The journey to the land where the sun touches the water is arduous. This group must overcome multiple obstacles and opponents, they meet new friends and allies, and find new strategies to work together. Meanwhile, the clans back home are in peril, lacking water, food resources, and must find ways to survive against the TwoLegged Threat.
My nephew has been very big into this series and I wanted to try it out. It definitely had some good lessons in it about working together despite your differences. I will warn readers, young and old, there is blood and death in this graphic novel. Overall, I find why young readers are so drawn to this series!

love sammys style for this one, although i will definitely miss the last artist! excited to see how she will adapt the rest of the books
July 9, 2026
last arc’s art was very cute but I’m very much in love with this new style ✨ also had much better pacing!
July 2, 2026
I loved this! The art was amazing and it was much different than the other 3 graphic novels. But some parts didn’t make sense, because in the book Cinderpelt saw the prophecy before Brambleclaw and SquirrelPaw left. But in the graphic novel, Cinderpelt saw the prophecy after Brambleclaw and Squirelpaw left.

I'm seriously enjoying these graphic novels SO much. I feel so nostalgic! Can't wait for the next one!
Review of advance copy received from Edelweiss+
I've been provided with a review copy of the book by the publisher.
I was excited to see the next Graphic Novel adaptation coming out so soon. And let's start by getting the cat out of the bag - it is really, really good! Now let's delve into the details.
One thing that's immediately obvious is that we got the new artist illustrating this Graphic Novel. Sammy Savos did an excellent job. The showcase panels are awe inspiring, characters can be really emotive and the art is gorgeous all around. The exaggerated expressions can be really funny when the tension is laid back, while maintaining proper somberness in the more serious part. The characters even maintain overall visual consistency from the artwork of the previous graphic novel artists.
Unfortunately parts of the character designs can be somewhat lacking. The biggest issue is the strong same face syndrome, which is particularly notable compared to the previous artists. While I wasn't a fan of all of their faces, I at least could appreciate that they differentiated them all. In The New Prophecy: Graphic Novel they all look solid, but they all look the same, which is a step back overall and moreover I doubt it's going to change in the following two volumes. On a lesser note, I feel like the snarky mouth and sidelong glances get overused enough that it bothered me a little.
I have to be honest, I am a big Warriors fan, but I always thought Midnight was one of the weaker entries in the series. But given that the graphic novel is an adaptation, there was a potential for an uplift here. And it was mostly delivered successfully. One of the big problems of the novel version was that the character development was lacking and we spent lots of pages on following the repetitive and not particularly interesting threats.
The adaptation is a significant improvement in this regard. The perilous journey works much better as a series of snappy montages highlighting the dangers - and the weirdness - of the unfamiliar places. The dialogues flow better and feel more purposeful. Combined with the effective use of visuals to display the characters' emotions and thoughts, I think the group chemistry works a lot better than in the novel and the transition from strangers to friends is more believable. It still doesn't fully succeeds at this, but it's a big step up from the novels.
Similarly, the characters are given more of their own role and show more character overall. Again, this still isn't perfect, I understand that the writer struggled with what to do with Tawnypelt and, to a smaller degree, Stormfur, who weren't particularly fleshed out in the novels in the first place. These two still get a bit more and I like what they did with the remaining four characters, but the flaws of the original are still here, even if lessened.
As far as Midnight story adaptation goes, it's more or less perfect. It got just enough space to showcase all the important events, give the characters space to breathe while not overstaying its welcome. There are some cuts and some good additions, but they all went on to improve the reading experience. For example, the fire and tiger prophecy gets moved, so it happens after the group leaves. In the original novel, its purpose was to get Squirrelpaw and Brambleclaw closer so that they leave together. But it also felt forced and unnecessary. The Graphic Novel instead utilizes Squirrelpaw's personality to make her part of the group - she's impulsive and eager and is going to join regardless of what the authorities tell her, and Brambleclaw feels responsible for her. The Graphic Novel handles it in a way that's more natural and utilizes it to showcase the characters. There are a lot more small changes like that, and I didn't have any complaints about any of them.
Like with the previous trio of graphic novels, this one also adapts two books. Unfortunately, the adaptation of the story of Moonrise doesn't go as smoothly. Midnight gets about 60% of the space, which leaves Moonrise with 40% and it's about 30 pages too few to do the story justice. The most regretful cut is the group's initial travel through the mountains. While I complained about the novel Midnight's travelling parts, Moonrise's were important to establish the dangers and the oppressive atmospheres that the cats are facing. It's particularly important, since a lot of the tension of the next book depends on establishing the vastness and the threat of this region.
Alas, it's pretty much all cut. The whole part from finding Midnight to getting to the Tribe takes a total of six pages and doesn't set it up as important location with proper tone. It just feels like another random travel encounter they go through. The Tribe also doesn't get quite enough space I think was needed, but condensing of the source material feels better done here. The story still feels great, but I feel the second half loses something in the adaptation, while the first half was a straight up improvement. Because of all the cuts, the final emotional climax also doesn't hit as hard, since the setup for it is gone and that's the real victim of the adaptation.
That's the unfortunate reality of the format. Despite that, I still enjoyed the book. I think the cuts will be a little more noticeable to people who haven't read the books, compared to the first adaptation trilogy, but the heart of the story is mostly there.
Overall, it's a great book. It enhances a lot of the source material, especially the first half, the art is gorgeous, the pacing works a lot better. I liked the character dynamics and the characters' personalities are a bit more varied and interesting in this series than in the previous one. I had a couple of issues with some details, but the story works great and I can't wait for the next adaptations.

There are some cuts and some good additions, but they all went on to improve the reading experience. For example, the fire and tiger prophecy gets moved, so it happens after the group leaves. In the original novel, its purpose was to get Squirrelpaw and Brambleclaw closer so that they leave together. But it also felt forced and unnecessary. The Graphic Novel instead utilizes Squirrelpaw's personality to make her part of the group - she's impulsive and eager and is going to join regardless of what the authorities tell her, and Brambleclaw feels responsible for her. The Graphic Novel handles it in a way that's more natural and utilizes it to showcase the characters. There are a lot more small changes like that, and I didn't have any complaints about any of them.
Like with the previous trio of graphic novels, this one also adapts two books. Unfortunately, the adaptation of the story of Moonrise doesn't go as smoothly. Midnight gets about 60% of the space, which leaves Moonrise with 40% and it's about 30 pages too few to do the story justice. The most regretful cut is the group's initial travel through the mountains. While I complained about the novel Midnight's travelling parts, Moonrise's were important to establish the dangers and the oppressive atmospheres that the cats are facing. It's particularly important, since a lot of the tension of the next book depends on establishing the vastness and the threat of this region.
Alas, it's pretty much all cut. The whole part from finding Midnight to getting to the Tribe takes a total of six pages and doesn't set it up as important location with proper tone. It just feels like another random travel encounter they go through. The Tribe also doesn't get quite enough space I think was needed, but condensing of the source material feels better done here. The story still feels great, but I feel the second half loses something in the adaptation, while the first half was a straight up improvement. Because of all the cuts, the final emotional climax also doesn't hit as hard, since the setup for it is gone and that's the real victim of the adaptation.
That's the unfortunate reality of the format. Despite that, I still enjoyed the book. I think the cuts will be a little more noticeable to people who haven't read the books, compared to the first adaptation trilogy, but the heart of the story is mostly there.
Overall, it's a great book. It enhances a lot of the source material, especially the first half, the art is gorgeous, the pacing works a lot better. I liked the character dynamics and the characters' personalities are a bit more varied and interesting in this series than in the previous one. I had a couple of issues with some details, but the story works great and I can't wait for the next adaptations.

A huge thank you to Netgalley and HarperAlley for this eARC! This is a huge honor <3
A solid start to an action packed trio!
I know a lot of readers were skeptical about the transition to new artists for The New Prophecy installments, but I'm very pleasantly surprised. I really, really enjoy this art style. It's really cute and colorful, but they still act, move and look like cats. The full page art is stunning and I STILL wish they would offer some of these pages as prints.
The characters were expressive and easily identifiable. I could definitely see the inspiration of fan designs and the new official art.
I've read the complete New Prophecy arc in the last few months. This is definitely not the place to start for new readers of this series, in graphic novel form or otherwise. This team does a good job of condensing the Midnight and Moonrise books, however there are definitely some changes that had to be made for the sake of flow. The changes weren't bothersome nor did they heavily change the story, but they were noticeable for someone familiar with the series. I, personally, am happy and satisfied with this adaptation. There are a few things that I could nitpick if I really wanted to, but this is at the end of the day an adaptation made 15 plus years after the original books were written. Sometimes change and modernization is good. This hits all the main plot points and nothing stood out to me as "missing" or staunchly "incorrect".
My eyes are old LOL I can only review this from the standpoint of someone who knows Warrior cats a little TOO well.
I liked the emphasis on character relationships. This book focuses heavily on the traveling cats and less on the forest cats, which is fine, but you kind of have to use your brain to figure out what's happening in the forest from the snippets we're shown. It's a good compromise of a duel POV book being condensed into a graphic novel. I could see how it may be a little confusing for a new reader, but TNP is so fresh in my brain that I just filled in the gaps.
Overall, as with the first three graphic novels, I would recommend this for the art alone to long time Warriors fans, or an older reader looking to refresh their memory! The young graphic novel readers in my life were very jealous I got an early copy of this graphic novel and I am very excited to purchase their copies for them. This book is going to be stunning in physical!

Review of advance copy
I really wanted to like this book. As an adaptation, it is mid. As an art piece, it utterly fails. Some spreads are fine to look at, and the colors are nice. But that’s about all the compliments I have for it.
Firstly, the character designs. Every character looks the same. Take away the colors, and they are completely indistinguishable. There are some who I still don’t know who they were supposed to be by the end. Is the tan tabby Brackenfur? Thornclaw? Goldenflower? Sandstorm? It doesn’t help that characters rarely address each other to give a clue as to who is in the scene. This was my biggest fear upon seeing the cover, and unfortunately it did come to pass.
Transitions are sloppy if they even happen at all. There’s so much opportunity in a visual medium like a graphic novel to make creative transitions between scenes. Instead, this book just cuts straight into the next scene. No lead up, no scene setting. This lack of transition is also evident between panels. In one panel, the characters are walking, in the next, someone’s fallen into a chasm. As in, she’s already dangling. No panel of her (or any of the cats) jumping. No hint that there even is a chasm in this setting. It just appears, and she just appears falling into it.
Pacing is going to be off in a condensed adaptation, but the above-mentioned issue exacerbates it to the nth degree. So much is happening so fast, but the lack of context makes none of it feel like it matters. I don’t think I could follow this book had I not read the source material before.
It’s really hard not to compare this to The Prophecies Begin adaptation. Compared to that masterpiece, this feels rushed and lazy. There are panels that are copy-pasted, characters that lack faces from the prologue to the end, and why is there a Chapter 1, but no Chapter 2? Where is the quality control?
I’m disappointed, but I will keep reading these because I have an unhealthy obsession with these dumb little cats.
I will hold out hope that the adaptations will get back on track by Power of Three…

Book Review: Warriors Graphic Novel: The New Prophecy #1 by Erin Hunter
As someone who grew up reading Warriors, it was really fun to revisit The New Prophecy in graphic novel form. Seeing Brambleclaw's journey, the prophecy, and the traveling cats brought to life in full color made the story feel fresh while still hitting all the nostalgic beats. The artwork does a great job capturing the scale of the adventure and the personalities of the cats, even if some scenes move a little quickly compared to the original novels.
One thing I appreciated was how expressive the illustrations are. With such a large cast of cats, it can sometimes be difficult to keep everyone straight, but the character designs help distinguish them while still feeling true to how I imagined them from the books. The action scenes are especially well done, and the emotional moments land surprisingly well despite the condensed format.
That said, readers who are deeply attached to the original novels will probably notice how much has been streamlined. Important character development and quieter moments sometimes take a backseat in order to keep the story moving. I missed some of the slower interactions that helped build relationships in the books, but that's almost inevitable when adapting two novels into a single graphic novel.
Overall, this was a fun and nostalgic return to one of my favorite Warriors arcs. It captures the heart of the story, the mystery of the prophecy, and the sense of adventure that made me fall in love with the series in the first place. Whether you're a longtime fan or a younger reader discovering the Clans for the first time, it's an enjoyable adaptation that left me looking forward to the next installment. 4 stars.
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC.

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
Erin Hunters, do I have a bone to pick with you or what. Dear god.
I should have spent five minutes thinking about what this book was before requesting it because I went through the five stages of grief within the first like four pages. If you're a fan of the Warriors franchise, this is the second series (books one and two) of The New Prophecy. It's a children's comic, but it doesn't shy away from the sadder or more violent scenes of the story. For those who have never read the story before, this is a great bite-sized introduction into the story, but I do definitely enjoy the novels so much more. There's just so much that happens in the first two books that you have to cut out a lot to make it fit in a smaller graphic novel.
The art in this is AMAZING. God, I love how everyone looks. The colors are so vibrant and make me think of summer. I loved the way all the cats were drawn with their injuries prominently displayed. I will say, a lot of them start blending together since the body types and color combos for a lot of the cats are similar, but I was able to keep up with it fairly easily (granted, I've reread the novels probably 20 times).
But I just have to say, as someone who has been avidly consuming Warriors for the last twenty years, the wave of pure nostalgia and sadness I got the minute I saw the drawing of ThunderClan's camp actually made me start crying. In the books, we're so far from the Forest that to see it drawn in such detail and looking so cozy with so many characters whom I adore and miss just really hit hard. I kept having to pause reading because I was having these flashbacks of reading these books when I was in middle school and how much I love these characters. So, to the artists who made this, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You so perfectly depicted a place I lived in for most of my teen years.

More reviews (and no fluff) on the blog http://surrealtalvi.wordpress.com/
The series is beloved, especially among middle schoolers, and this latest graphic novel does a good job staying true to the source. Yes, important quieter moments and character development were jettisoned due to time/story constraints of a graphic novel. But in all this is a beautifully vibrant and enjoyable read.Story: A prophecy has been spoken - and it is dire! Four heroes are chosen from each of the clans in order to save the Warrior Cats. But are they up to the task?
The graphics are clean and simple - and surprisingly expressive. I appreciated that the action was easy to follow and that the cats were distinctive and easy to identify. The story is more of the same as the previous novels - so nothing new was added or changed.
In all, a lovely adaptation and great for both new readers to the series (since it starts a new arc) and those who have read the books. Reviewed from an advance reader copy provided by the publisher.

In my opinion this was a marked improvement from the last series in terms of dialogue and pacing, as well as the expressions of the characters (something that really bugged me in the last series). The humour also landed a lot better in this one.
That being said, I feel like both adaptations have shown a real lack of understanding of how to show the passage of time or even create an atmospheric environment. So much happens in Warriors that in a graphic novel form you need to effectively use the page to avoid your readers from feeling overwhelmed, fatigued or confused. In my opinion, both sets of artists have been strongest with their portrayal of the characters and not for being particularly strong graphic novel artists. I can only think how strong these graphic novels would have been if the artists were able to lay out the panels to show time and transitions more effectively. I'm thinking about a graphic novel like Saga which does this incredibly well.
Overall though, I would say it is an improvement to the first series. And overall, I'm having a great time reliving my favorite books through this series and I'm genuinely looking forward to the next edition.

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
This is book 1 of the second arc in the Warriors series with a new adapter and illustrator at the helm. I was worried about the continuity between series, but for the most part I was able to recognize the cats visually from the first arc. I wasn't expecting there to be such a time jump with little exposition, but that could be my memory lacking as I haven't read the source material in 20 years. There were many references to action that happened off page, which made me think I was missing something, but they were just pulled for space. In this volume we follow a new set of cats as a new prophecy has arrived from Star Clan. I continue to be amazed at the amount of violence in these stories, and wonder how children will react to it on page. I did love the amount of humor in this, especially the little moments that aren't in the text. The art style lended itself well to this story and I look forward to the next volume. Thanks to HarperAlley and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Man, talk about a nostalgia trip! I've been seeing the graphic novels for the first Warriors story arc come through at my library, and been curious what I would think about them having grown up being obsessed with the novels. So when I saw the ARC for The New Prophecy was on NetGalley I figured I had to throw my hat in the ring to get a copy. And so I did!
This volume covers the events of Midnight and Moonrise. I feel like this does a good job of covering the big points in both books without cutting out too much or feeling like the pace was too fast. It maybe gets a little murky with what's going on with the Clans back in the forest, but it follows the cats going on the journey pretty close to what I remember from the books. The art style is wonderful for these, just the right amount of cartoon-y-ness where it doesn't feel too childish, but would still catch the eye of its target audience. If these had been out when I was in middle school, I for sure would have been even more insufferable with how much I loved this series.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advance copy!

I am LOVING these new warriors graphic novels!!! I simply CANNOT believe I have to wait until MARCH for the next one!! But honestly, it’s been worth the wait each time, because I thoroughly enjoyed every part of this book.
As someone who’s already read the novel series but loves a good graphic novel, I adore these new adaptions!!! I get to enjoy the gorgeous art and characters coming to life on the page, AND relive the stories in a whole new way!! I had to mention this at some point, but SO many heavily implied or headcanoned ships are now canon because of this graphic novel series, so if nothing else, that alone is a reason to give this five stars.
When I heard that The New Prophecy was going to be illustrated by new artists, I got temporarily scared, but I am honestly loving the new art style!!!! My only complaint about the graphic novels is that it’s sometimes difficult to figure out who characters are. As you can probably tell by this overly enthusiastic review, this is not a book to miss.

Thank you to Netgalley and HarperCollins Childrens Books for the ARC in exchange for a honest review.
If you enjoyed the warrior cats series when you were younger or have someone in your life you think would enjoy them, these graphic novels are a great addition to the books. Animal deaths in these books aren’t uncommon so if that is triggering or unsettling to you or someone you know, take caution as needed.
I read the warrior cats series as a kid myself. I have read them as an adult too whether it be the audiobooks or other graphic novels. It was then and always will be a favorite. Having the ability to be able to do a ARC review as an adult for a graphic novel edition of this book seems like a full circle moment. Gibson Twist adapted the story to graphic novel brilliantly and the art by Sammy Savos makes the characters I love come alive on the page. It has made this a whole new wonderful experience to enjoy all over again and I hope others find the same joy in these books in whatever format they choose.

Out of the mouth of babes. The ReadsAlotl Littles were thrilled with this book!
My kids were thrilled to read this book with me. They loved the images and the storyline. It was so much fun for my 8 year old to feel apart of the warriors worlds like her brothers have been for years. The Illustrations were done well and it brought out the characters and their personalities. As my boys have read the originals, they loved seeing their imagination and images come to life in this story. It was very well done and we can't wait to read the next one!
In this new spin off, Four cats are called on a journey to save the clans. They have to travel to the Sun Drown Place. As they travel, they meet Burdy who helps them navigate the dangers they encounter. There are many animals and creatures trying to hunt them down, including humans. It was full of adventure and mysteries.

I've been provided with a review copy of the book by the publisher.
The New Prophecy: Graphic Novel is the fourth adaptation of the series, covering roughly the same material as the novels Midnight and Moonrise. The people working on this issue are different compared to the previous graphic novels. They performed okay to the one that handled the first series adaptation. The art style is different. Outside of some stunning panels this one lacks depth.
The plot is four cats must go on a quest that could end horribly. Just like other Warrior Cats you can expect this one to get messy. Messy this does. It always shocks me how graphic they are.
I personally haven't read the novels this adapting but I enjoyed it enough. I probably won't continue to the next volume. But would highly recommend.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to review the ARC of this book.
5 stars - overall graphic novel
4 stars - adaptation from original
Review from my teen who has been a fan of Warriors for many, many years:
The art is absolutely gorgeous and encapsulates every good thing about the first arc of the series, while keeping the designs consistent. The dialogue matches the characters moods well, as do the color palettes. My one gripe is that, as an adaptation, it has some events out of order (ie. the fire and tiger prophecy) that makes the story more confusing. Unlike the first arc graphic novels, I think that this one needs to be read in tandem with the original for the reader to make sense of it.
