I love this book because it is interesting and exiting. It makes me horrified to think that Tigerclaw is back and now he is the leader of Shadow Clan.

very good book if your like cats, and like adventure.

I appreciated the fact that this book stands well on its own, despite the fact that it's part of a series with a continuing storyline. In other words, you can read it on its own and still feel like you've read a complete story instead of only part of one. Obviously reading the previous books makes the reading experience a bit richer, but still .....Anyway, the kids and I found this to be an enjoyable book overall. But I feel a word of warning is warranted for younger reader and their parents. The series has been getting progressively darker for a couple of books now. That bent takes a pretty sharp turn in this book and might not be suitable for sensitive readers.

Such a beautiful, imaginative series. I choose to believe this is what happened to my Taz after she went missing. I can easily picture her being Shadow Clan.

A great book, as are all the Warriors Saga books. The Original Saga are my favorite, this being one of them

I really liked this book but it was a little sad in the middle

Fireheart is shocked and nervous of the newly introduced Shadowclan leader, Tigerstar. But Fireheart has other things to worry about. Cats are mysteriously getting themselves injured, and all fireheart knows is that Thinderclan needs to be careful...........

Wow. I keep thinking these books are going to get predictable and boring but they do not. I totally adore them. LOVE these books, but not much to review except commentary on things going on:



Things are heating up as Tigerstar becomes leader of Shadowclan. Fireheart has to speak at a clan meeting for the first time. I keep wanting Fireheart and Sandstorm to get together and have kittens but in this book, after several falling outs, they at least declare that they love each other.

Bluestar continues to decline, almost going completely mental but comes back at the end only to die and obviously Fireheart is about to become clan leader in book 6.

I’m so sick of Tigerstar, I wish Fireheart would defeat him already, but I suspect that will take place in book 6.

Greystripe FINALLY returns to Thunderclan after Riverclan kicks him out for not attacking Fireheart. I am so glad Fireheart has his best friend back.

The only thing that bothered me about this book was how crazy Bluestar was becoming. I hated her renaming the cat (can’t remember original name now) Lostface, I found that particularly cruel. But at least Bluestar regains some rationality before she dies at the end.

Now Tigerstar is the leader of Shadowclan. Fireheart the deputy of Thunderclan has to protect Thunderclan from the plan of Tigerstar.

[kenzie12368 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I have to say that the danger in the dangerous path was certainly true. There was a lot of cruel moments that had to be passed through.

 Fireheart knows that Tigerclaw is exiled from ThunderClan, he actually hoped he was gone for good but to his horror Tigerclaw is now Tigerstar leader of ShadowClan! He has to prevent ThunderClan from Tigerstar, but he does not know that Tigerstar has another way to destroy his clan. Perhaps another kind of animals, like dogs...
