Editorial Reviews

This is the fourth book in the author's latest series, "Warriors: Omen of the Stars." As an addition to the series it is an interesting adventure. As a stand-alone, it does not work well. The names and situations are confusing. It is part Watership Down, part role-playing, and part mysticism. The most interesting part of the book is experiencing the cats' lives from their point of the view. Humans' houses are called "Twoleg nests," and cats express surprise that birds (eagles) could be dangerous. Clans of cats, living in the forest, patrol their borders, send out hunting parties, and train the young kittens to defend their clans. The leader of each clan is also the medicine cat. Some cats have mystical powers, visiting the dark side or the realm of the ancient cats. The pervading themes are loyalty to the group, or clan, and honoring the sacrifices of the cats that went before. Included at the end of the book are directions for an online game with good graphics.
