3.8 - These first three books in the series were so good. We got introduced to Jaypaw, Hollypaw, and Lionpaw and the prophecy they are tied to. Plus we get introduced to all the other clans and the constant struggle to maintain borders, food, and supplies. There is also a lot of struggle for ThunderClan to be taken seriously by some of the other clans because they take in a lot of cats who need a place to survive. My favorite of the three was definitely the third because we get introduced to the Tribe in the mountains and there is finally, quite a lot of action.
