Moonrise (Warriors: The New Prophecy, Book 2)

For others who read Midnight and Moonrise back to back, did you notice there was a replication of an entire chapter from Midnight (one of the last when the cats are leaving the sea cliffs) to chapter 5 of Moonrise? I don't know what on earth happened but I'm assuming that it was done deliberately since the story flowed through both chunks of either book in the right places and the details for terrain description were adjusted. Rather annoying realizing a whole chapter was transferred over. I personally liked Midnight better than Moonrise as this book moves a lot slower and the way the story functions with the mountain cats, at the moment feels like filler. Hoping that changes in the next one. I don't know how intentional it was, but Sharptooth also seems like he could've been named better. I had a really hard time trying not to picture a tyrannosaurus rex (Land Before Time) as I was reading.

Summary: The 6 traveling cats: Stormfur and Feathertail (they're siblings)of RiverClan, Crowpaw from WindClan, Tawnypelt from ShadowClan, Brambleclaw and Squrrielpaw from Thunderclan, are returning from the sun-drown-place where Midnight, the badger, told them that their homes are getting destroyed. This time they're going through the mountains instead of the Twoleg place where they were lost many times.

After getting lost in the mountains many times too, a group of cats found these 6 Clan cats. These group of cats are a Tribe called the Tribe of Rushing Water. They have their own ancestors called the Tribe of Endless Hutning. These cats are all fascinated by Stormfur and he doesn't know why. Stormfur has a friendship towards a Tribe cat called Brook where Small Fish Swim. While Crowpaw and Feathertail are getting really close and may be togehter, but towards the end everything changes. Something terrible happens to one of the Clan cats, and then something leaves the reader heart-broken.

Meanwhile, Firestar, the great leader of ThunderClan and his Clan suffers to survive. while Twoleg monsters (bulldozers and other machines) keep on tearing apart the forest.

I think this book is really good and has many evnets that keeps the reader intersted. I finished this book in less than a day. I couldn't put the book down. But this book is also really sad.

Warriors has got to be the best series of books EVER! Moonrise continues the story of the six traveling cats going to sun-drown place. Brambleclaw finds himself closer to Squirrelpaw then he had ever thought that he would be. Crowpaw and Feathertail are becoming a bit more friendly. And Stormfur finds himself a place whre he thinks that he belongs. The story makes you want read,read,read,read and NEVER stop. I love all of the Warrior books. Recommeded to any reader!

The series just keeps on delivering. The 'evil' Twolegs are destroying the forest, and the six cats are still on their quest.

I admit I was a bit heartbroken when my favorite of those six died heroically.

Keep them coming, Erin!!

The book itself is great, as are all of the Warriors books. The seller is fantastic - when there was a problem with the quality of the item they promptly contacted me personally and issued a full refund for the item. Despite the quality issue (which is purely cosmetic and only mattered because it was a gift for my young daughter) I'm very pleased with this purchase.

Warriors are a bunch of kitty cats in the wild. They used to be house cats but then they got so sick and tired of being fed kitty chow instead of a nice plump juicy mouse. So a group of house cats go into the wild. Free as a bird. Read the series. It's fun and great for active readers.

The book starts right where Midnight ended- the questing cats are now heading back home, wondering as they go how they will break it to their clans that they must leave the forest that they have lived in for generations. They come upon a Tribe of wildcats in the mountains- cats with different anscestors and different lifestyles, yet Stormfur feels strangely at home with them.... This is a great book for children and cat lovers like myself. For more cats stories reach for [[ASIN:0972732829 Why Some Cats are Rascals, Book 1]].

Really good quality, arrived ridiculously early. Why is hardcover so expensive lol

My daughter and I read these Warriors books to each other. We liked the earlier books in the series better but this one was still interesting and we enjoyed reading it together. They start to get hard to follow with all the different characters over time.

Present for my daughter and she loves it.
