I don't know who in the fandom has been clamoring for a Leopardstar Super Edition, but I guess we got one. Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: River by Erin Hunter (Warriors: A Starless Clan #1)

 

I can't believe I finally made it. After 10+ years of catching up to current Warriors releases, I finally get to experience an arc while it's actually happening, and not a few years after the fact. So this is somewhat new territory for me as all other arcs at least in some way had been spoiled for me, intentionally or not. The community doesn't exactly excel at marking their spoilers and even when they do there's a lot of sites that have horrid muted word filtering systems. Ah well. Let's dive in. Spoilers ahead, as always.

Book Review: Blackstar's Reckoning by Erin Hunter (Warriors Novella #21)

If there's any character I actually have wanted a POV-book for for a long time, it's Blackstar. Together with Leopardstar he's one of the major antagonists in the first arc, but both their stories haven't been told until recently. So let's dive right into his novella. Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: Spotfur's Rebellion by Erin Hunter (Warriors Novella #20)

 

Damn, can you guys believe there's 20+ of these already? And they just keep churning 'em out. I'm gonna be honest, though: I generally like the novellas, or at least the format in principal. Warriors has a huge cast of over 1000+ characters, with the main arcs being only restricted to a select few protagonists. So these novellas, alongside the Super Editions, are a great way to explore characters that don't get a lot of focus in the series. I actually prefer the novella format even more than Super Editions simply because they're short and get to the point. Some of the Super Editions are great, but they require a lot more commitment to get through than a quick novella.

So let's look at Spotfur's Rebellion. Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: Daisy's Kin by Erin Hunter (Warriors Novella #19)

 

 

Back to reviewing the older Warrior Cats novellas we go. Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: A Light in the Mist by Erin Hunter (Warriors: The Broken Code #6)

 

The last one. Can you believe it? After 5+ years of (very) slowly making my way catching up to the modern Warrior Cats books, I'm finally caught up (with exception of the graphic novels and field guides, but I don't care much for those). Why did it take me so long? A whole bunch of factors. Me taking long breaks sometimes, me only wanting the paperback editions of the new covers, and just generally not having the funds to buy the 40ish books/novellas I missed out on makes it take a while. 

So let's have a look at the final book of the latest arc! Let's hope it ends with a bang! Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: The Place of No Stars by Erin Hunter (Warriors: The Broken Code #4)

 

Book five! One left and we're done with this arc! While I didn't consider book four to be particularly engaging, it did leave off with a large cliffhanger! So let's see how our main three and the Clans are doing in The Place of No Stars. Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: Darkness Within by Erin Hunter (Warriors: The Broken Code #4)

I'm finally catching up to these! Let's take a look at the next book in the Broken Code arc! Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: Veil of Shadows by Erin Hunter (Warriors: The Broken Code #3)

 

Wooooo, we're halfway there. I honestly can't believe how great this arc has been so far. That said, things can still change. I really liked the first part of A Vision of Shadows, but the last books kind of lost me. I sincerely hope that doesn't occur with The Broken Code, since so far this is shaping up to be my second favorite or even favorite arc.

Since I don't have the rest of this arc yet and am still waiting for Graystripe's Vow to be published in paperback before continuing getting the other books, it may be a while until my next review of The Broken Code. Please keep that in mind.

So let's take a look at the midway point of this arc. Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: The Silent Thaw by Erin Hunter (Warriors: The Broken Code #2)

Book one of this arc was very good. Let's see how book two goes, shall we? Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: Lost Stars by Erin Hunter (Warriors: The Broken Code #1)

Okay, here's the deal: this is the first arc of Warriors that I'm reviewing that hasn't been fully published as of me writing this. So, obviously, I don't own all the books yet, and therefore can't do a big review of the entire arc like I did with my other Warriors arc reviews. So what will I do? 

For now, I'll review each book separately, until I've gotten to all of them. Then, I'll combine all these smaller reviews into one bigger arc review. Yes, this means that technically there'll be less reviews on my blog once I delete the smaller ones in favor of one big overarching review, but I prefer to stay consistent and review each arc that isn't the Super Editions or Novellas in one fell swoop. Deal? Deal. Now, let's get to the first book. Spoilers ahead, obviously.
