Quotes
Add a QuoteWhy was Leafpool so fond of secrets? Secrets about his gift, secrets about Mothwing and Starclan. He suspects there were even more secrets buried in his mentors heart, secrets that she guards so closely he had never been able to glimpse them. "Knowledge can be dangerous," Leafpool warned. Frustration clawed Jaypaw's belly. He lived his life in darkness; he longed for light and clarity, not shadows. He forced away his anger. Leafpool had lived too long with secrets. He couldn't change her mind in a single night. But why did she have to drag him into her complicated world ? - Jaypaw's narration
"Friendship is worthless," Tigerstar growled. "You have learned an important lesson, one that I could never have taught you. But I will teach you much more. There'll come a day when you'll be so powerful, you'll have no need of friends. And when that day comes, I promise you will never regret that you chose to be a warrior.
"Without light, you will have only your instincts.Follow them and if they are true, you will be safe."-Rock to Fallen leaves

Hollypaw tries to stop the meetings, but Lionpaw keeps on meeting Heatherpaw. Tigerstar and Hawkfrost tell Lionpaw to stop meeting Heatherpaw and he does. Later, Lionpaw, Jaypaw, Hollypaw, Heatherpaw and Breezepaw find some kits in the tunnels Lionpaw and Heatherpaw played in. Lionpaw feels upset that he and Heatherpaw aren't friends, but Tigerstar and Hawkfrost assure him that it was the right thing to do.
Lionpaw begins meeting Heatherpaw of WindClan secretly at night, against the warrior code. Eventually, Hollypaw finds out and stops him, though Heatherpaw is distraught. Later, three kits in WindClan go missing, and almost provoke a battle between WindClan and RiverClan. Lionpaw, Jaypaw, Hollypaw, Heatherpaw and Breezepaw work together to find the kits, who have snuck into the tunnels in which Lionpaw and Heatherpaw had met. Meanwhile, Jaypaw discovers an old stick with strange markings, which has an ancient connection to the past.

AWESOME!!!!!!!!! It was action packed and fun. I read it in 1 day!! Go WARRIORS!!!!ššš
I started reading the books and I can not stop they are awesome and I have so many words to tell you about this book! It is awesome and I recommend these series of warriors cats for anyone who loves animals and wants to know an animals feelings. I can tell you this...... GO WARRIORS and GO ERIN HUNTER
I sort of like how Jaypaw was portrayed: a blind cat training in medicine with enhanced other senses. I feel as though books these days don't portray "disability" as a strength. Either they don't have any, or it's "pitied" upon. However, here a cat is still respected and treated as an equal. In fact, his skills are enhanced in a sense, where it almost seems to compliment him without limits. Also, he has a strong sense of right and wrong, that helps lead him off the path Tigerstar and Hawkfrost want to guide him on. I worried a bit for the other two siblings in this book, but I guess it will eventually work out.

not bad all these books are pretty gory but still great
If you guys haven't read the series you really should. It is so addicting, once u start u can't stop. I started the series in like, May maybe late April but, I'm already like more than half way done the series. I like the books because it is suitable for ages 9 and up and is a book that can be enjoyed by girls and boys. Also the warriors cat game the new prophecy is pretty fun, kinda cheesy. PLEASE READ THE SERIES AND FINISH IT!šŗšø
