Warriorcats Newest Bunch

Warriorcats in genreal gets a perfect 20/20 like Ender's and Lemony Snicket or Sister's Grimm or Fablehaven.No I'm still a picky reader ok

For example I was frustrated at Fablehaven 3's long amount of boringness or how Harry Potter 7 is just Grim Reaper's list of which Harry Potter characters to kill off (Seriously what did Hedwig do to deserve death,why did Lupin die,did Dobby really need a stabbing?)

So far there are 16 main books,1 stand alone,5 mangas, and 2 guidebooks.

My favorites:A Dangerous Path, Forest of Secrets, Into the Wild,Dawn,Outcast,Firestar's Quest,Cats of the Clans

Least Favorites: Rising Storm,Twilight,Sunset, The Sight,Tigerstar and Sasha,Warrior's Refuge

My problem with Darkest Hour is that all the Deputies die except for one however Tigerstar's death is a huge ironic twist of fate anyway onto................

Rise of Scourge

Year:2008
Publisher:Tokyopop

Plot: 20/20 (A little runt of his litter named Tiny is ignored and unloved by his family,so basically when Twolegs adopt his egotistical siblings and ignore him he runs to the forest where he meets Bluefur,Thistleclaw,and Tigerpaw.After being driven out he finds and old dogs tooth jabs in his collar and earns the respect he finally deserves sadly not from the right crowd and it's not friendship.)

Characters: 15/20 (The potrayal of the most important characters was excellent,sadly the minor characters not so much Bluestar[then Bluefur] is seen as a character who only just has compassion rather than a caring character like she really is,Thistleclaw fared better but he is seen as angry rather than arrogant,Tigerstar[then Tigerpaw] is seen as a character like Darkstripe rather than a ruthless,power seeking apprentice)

Setting: 20/20(One word:Excellent)

Writing: 12/20(It wasn't well written because it doesn't need to be after all it's a graphic novel)

Pictures:18/20 (Amazing drawings,only Marjane Starapi can do better ok ok and Shaman Kings)

Final: 17/20(Like Mario Kart 64 and Super Mario Kart my score is based on average my true opinion would be a perfect but the lack of writing,and not quite perfect characters made the average different from truth,Tigerstar was killed by Scourge in The Darkest Hour which is quite ironic because Tigerstar tried to kill him earlier when he was a wee little cat,and obviously Tigerstar forgot who he was.Scourge is a bit like Puppetmon from Digimon season 1 in the fact that he didn't have to be evil,he simply fell in with the wrong crowd both simply needed friends but never got any)

Now onto the newest of the main..............

Eclipse

Year:2008
Publisher:HarperCollins

Plot:20/20 (Basically,the 3 main characters Jaypaw,Hollypaw,and Lionpaw return from the mountains and leave Stormfur behind when Cinderpaw's leg gets renched naturally she gets depressed so Jaypaw hepls her exercise it by swimming and it helps her leg heal after Honeypaw and Poppypaw get their new warrior status a strange loner comes by and predicts an eclipse and of course it happens hence the title right when things between WindClan and ThunderClan tense up to the point where a battle forms. After hearing that Sol predicted an eclipse and StarClan failed to warn them Jaypaw starts to doubt StarClan's power as does Blackstar of ShadowClan)

Characters:10/20(All characters have made a turn for the worse,Squirrelflight isn't hard,Leafpool is a giver-uper,Hawkfrost is seen as a gossiper rather than a power-seeker,Millie has kits which to me is an inside betrayal,Onestar gets even more paranoid.and Jaypaw lets the knowledge go to his head however some things are kept like Berrynoses' stuck-up nature,Tigerstar's hate for Firestar, and Cinderpelts ambition to become a warrior)

Setting: 20/20 (As usual the setting is top-notch and well described)

Writing:20/20 (Like the redeeimng figure in lower ranking Warriors books,it is so well written)

Final:18/20(The book is a complete and utter betrayal of the first book,in the first book there is a clear hero and antagonist and StarClan's power is unquestioned Graystripe was still in love with Silverstream,it was simple but plot-driven,this book questions StarClan there is no clear antagonist and Graystripe has started a new family,but it is a good book has a good plot and is well written if it wasn't Warriors it might have actually made perfect)
