About this audiobook
Discover the origins of the warrior Clans in the second book of this thrilling prequel arc from mega-bestselling author Erin Hunter. The Dawn of the Clans series takes readers back to the earliest days of the Clans, when the cats first settled in the forest and began to forge the Warrior code.
The mountain cats from the Tribe of Rushing Water followed the Sun Trail to a new territory, convinced that in a land with more prey, their lives would be free from strife. But while no cat has gone hungry, tensions are rising. The once firmly united group has split in two—and a young cat named Thunder is caught in the middle.
Erin Hunter
Erin Hunter is inspired by a love of cats and a fascination with the ferocity of the natural world. 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.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Book 2 in Dawn of the Clans: continuing my read of this series, to have a keener sense of what R likes in the books, as well as to speak knowledgeably about it. There's a lot going on, plot-wise: clearly a big story arc, but Hunter wisely doesn't hurry things along and skip over events and situations which clearly would be big for the characters at the time, even if later on (as from the perspective of an adult looking back on childhood?) those same events and situations wouldn't rate quite as important. And as with the first book, not flinching from unpleasant aspects of nature: view of newborn kits, killing a rabbit, violent death of a friend (cat). Interesting juxtaposition of community organised around survival and physical strength with community organised around mutuality and social strength. Seems reasonable to expect this is true of the entire series, though these were written later.Certainly see why R is into it, and find myself mapping the various characters, events, myth to my own parallel interests as a young reader, though the specific books were different.//I am curious to know how true the feline behavior it is, and how much is invented. Seems clear that cats do indeed angle their ears in reaction to things going on, but presumably not as a means of indicating to other cats where their interest lies. Still, the anthropomorphising is clever: pointing with tails, touching one another with tails after the manner parents might ruffle a child's hair.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The journeying cats have finally made it to their new home. But Clear Sky, Gray Wing's brother, wants to spilt the group apart. He insists that it would be better to live among the trees, so he takes some of the group to live there. With one half of the moutain cats on the moor and the other under the trees, it has been eaiser to survive here than in the moutains. But the easy life is disturbed when Clear Sky starts acting aggressive. He starts to set down borders and claim more territory than he needs. he is cruel to his group of cats and the final, horrible act he did that made him and Gray Wing no longer brothers, was send away his own son because he reminded him to much of his dead mate. Now war has been declared between the forest and the moor cats.I really loved this book! It was awesome, just like the book before it. I liked how they made Clear Sky the bad guy because it will help lead up to what happens in clan history. There is supposed to be a big battle at the end. That is how the clans come to be. Thats how the story is told in ealier books. So, I think Clear Sky will cause that battle. But, this was overall a good book.
