Warriors Cat Series Views
In the Warriors series, there are four Clans of cats that live in the forest: ThunderClan, RiverClan, WindClan, and ShadowClan. StarClan is a group made up of the Clans' spiritual ancestors who give guidance to the Clans. In the past, SkyClan was a fifth Clan that was driven out , as their territory was destroyed by humans building a town, but Firestar revives it in Firestar's Quest. Each Clan lives in their own territory, which they defend and hunt in. Each Clan has their own prey and special skills which suit their territory's terrain. As well, BloodClan is a group of stray city cats; however, they are not considered to be a true Clan, as they do not believe in StarClan.[3]
The second series, Warriors: The New Prophecy, was released from 2005 to 2006, and contains six books: Midnight, Moonrise, Dawn, Starlight, Twilight, and Sunset. This plot follows six cats: Brambleclaw, Tawnypelt, Crowpaw (later Crowfeather), and Feathertail, who are sent on a mission by StarClan to the sun-drown place (ocean), with Feathertail's brother, Stormfur and a ThunderClan apprentice, Squirrelpaw (later Squirrelflight), accompanying them. There, a badger named Midnight tells the six cats that Twolegs (humans)will be making a road that cuts across the Clans' territories, forcing the Clans to leave.
The third series, titled Warriors: Power of Three, was released from 2007 to 2009, and includes: The Sight, Dark River, Outcast, Eclipse, Long Shadows, and Sunrise. The plot focuses on the prophecy, there will be three, kin of your kin, who hold the power of the stars in their paws . The series follows three young cats named Hollyleaf, Jayfeather, and Lionblaze who are Firestar's grandkits which makes them the cats of the prophecy. Jayfeather is blind, but soon discovers he has a unique power, as does one of his siblings: Jayfeather has the power to feel emotions and memories coming off of other cats and walk in their dreams, while Lionblaze has the power to never get hurt in a fight. Hollyleaf does not have powers, as she is later revealed not to be the third cat foretold in the prophecy.
Super Editions are books in the Warriors series that are approximately double the length of a normal Warriors book. There are three Super Editions: Firestar's Quest, Bluestar's Prophecy and SkyClan's Destiny. They are standalone stories and as the titles imply, the first features Firestar, the second features Bluestar, and the third features the modern SkyClan a few months after Firestar's Quest. One more super edition is being written. It will feature the RiverClan leader Crookedstar, and will be titled Crookedstar's Promise; it is due to be released on July 5, 2011. In a newsletter it was revealed that Mapleshade (an evil cat introduced in Night Whispers) will also play a role in this book.[10]
