One of the best, if not my favorite Super Edition of Warriorcats. I recently revisited this childhood book and fell in love all over again with the characters and heartbreaking story. Crookedstar is just as relatable today and I thank the authors that took their time with this character. Although the ending felt a bit rushed, it was still a satisfying way to end it, nonetheless. I only wish the manga at the back was also written as part of the main story in full length, but I can’t complain - I’m glad it’s included, and the artwork is beautiful. I’ll always love this book!

[Sam P · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

One of the best character arcs of the Super Editions! (Maybe next to Yellowfang)
Left me ugly sobbing by the end.
I agree with another reviewer that the tragedies didn’t feel cheap or rushed like SOme books, so that was refreshing.
It felt like the writers actually thought out and enjoyed writing this storyline.
Very into the messages of persistence in the face of adversity. Crookedstar deserves all the love!

I think I'm on a Warriors kick right now. Anyways, I was at the library looking for the book after The Fourth Apprentice, but they didn't have it. So, I picked up the two super editions I had yet to read. Crookedstar's Promise was a brilliantly written novel that gave me a much clearer picture of the RiverClan warriors. Most of the books are from ThunderClan perspectives. Because this book, if you read the edition with the manga adventure, includes the entire life of Crookedstar (progression from Stormkit, Crookedkit, Crookedpaw, and Crookedjaw), it is very, very long. The length gives you a bigger picture of the trials Crookedstar endured and ultimately gave me a better view of his daughter Silverstream. Rating - 4 stars due to brilliant writing and heart-wrenching story

Sigh. This is my son's favorite book. He loves it so much, in fact, that he is writing his own novel patterned after it. He loves it so much that he checked it out from the school library again last week "so you can read it, too, Mom. I think you'll like it." How could I say no to that?

Let's just say it was not the worst book I've ever read. There were approximately 30 "main" characters, which drove me pretty batty, but the plot was OK once it got moving. It was maybe a 2.5 star book.

One of the best Warriors books, this one is better written than most. Like all Warriors books, this one has its sad events, but unlike in some of other books, they do not seem cheap or contrived here, they do not exist for shock value or as an easy yank on the reader's emotional chain.

Crookedkit has had a terrible accident and now his jaw is twisted upside down. Now he has to catch more fish and train harder to gain his clanmates respect. Then a new cat comes into his dreams whispering greatness and glory. He is temped because who wouldn't want to be known throughout the forest? All he had to do was make a promise. Who knew all of the bloodshed and misery that would come from one simple promise? It was an awesome book and I can't wait to read more WARRIORS!

THIS BOOK WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Crookedstar's Promise is one of the BEST warrior books ever!!!!!!!!! I feel so bad when poor Stormkit gets his name changed to Crookedkit. There were many sad things in the book (the death or Shellheart, Rainflower, Hailstar, Willowbreeze, and the two kits) but it was still AWESOME!!! I can't wait to watch Silverkit grow up into Silverstream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
