In addition to having great respect for nature in all its forms, Erin enjoys creating rich mythical explanations for animal behavior. She is the author of the Warriors, Seekers, Survivors, Bravelands, and Bamboo Kingdom series. Erin lives in the UK.

Absolutely Stunning

Once I picked up this book, I couldn't put it down. Where Erin Hunter slipped a bit in Omen of the Stars, she makes up for it in Dawn of the Clans. This book left me in tears throughout it and I developed a love-hate relationship with Clear Sky after reading from his point of view. One scene that struck me most was Falling Feather and Jackdaw's Cry in their last moments. Truly horrifying what a seemingly noble cause in your head can make you do. And poor Gray Wing, he loved Turtle Tail so. Saddening that he won't ever have any kits that are blood related, but I love his relationship with her kits. Especially Pebble Heart.

As good as the original series

The Original series of Warriors are one of the best books of all time. The New Prophecy was really good too. But then the Power of Three was not as good. Either was the Omen Of The Stars. The Sun Trial and Thunder Rising were okay. But the First Battle is as good as books like Forest of Secrets, The Darkest Hour, Moonrise, Crookedstar Promise, ect. I think i even like it MORE! This boook was very interesting becuase I love seeing how the clans got created. Definatley in the top 5 best Warrior books, and thats saying something. I cannot wait for The Blazing Star.

I can't wait! I am getting the book today! Here is what I think it's about.
Gray wing and Clear sky are getting farther and farther away from each other, while Thunder us going back to Gray wing. Maybe Clear sky will say Gray wing stole Thunder? I will update when I read it! Thank you have a great day!
