Warriors book series review
Warriors by Erin Hunter is a book series about a bunch of cats with their own civilization in the forest. I read this series back when I was younger, and have just started to get back into them.
In Warriors, there are 4 groups of cats; Thunderclan, Riverclan, Windclan, and ShadowClan. Thunderclan is known for their bravery, Riverclan is known for their swimmers, Windclan is known for their speed, and Shadowclan is known for their deviousness. The clans can be compared to the different houses of Harry Potter. Each clan has their own leaders, 2nd in commands (deputies), medicine cats, and warriors. Leaders and 2nd in commands are in charge of keeping everyone in line. Medicine cats are there to prevent and treat injuries. Warriors are in charge of the hunting and protection of borders from cats of other clans.
Most of the stories revolve around some kind of dispute between the clans; sometimes a cat from one clan has attacked one of another clan; sometimes one clan steals another clans’ food supply, as well as much exploration and drama.
The first book starts out with the main character, Rusty, who is a domestic cat, at home. He one day decides to wander out, where he meets cats from the thunderclan, and decides to join them. I’ll avoid giving up too many spoilers for now, but a lot of interesting things happen with Rusty.
There are 104 Warriors books total. When I was younger, I think I read about 30-40 of them, but I look forward to getting back into them. If you enjoy somewhat simple, action-packed books, I would highly recommend the Warriors series by Erin Hunter.
