Warriors: A Shadow in RiverClan (Full-Color Adventure) Review: Don't let the cash grab fool you... - This book is fantastic. Really. It deserves 5 stars alone JUST for all the accurate throw backs. It is CLEARLY WRITTEN BY SOMEONE WHO HAS READ THE BOOKS AT LEAST UP TO SERIES 2, FIRESTAR'S QUEST, AND SASHA'S STORY. It's a fresh breath of air fans have not seen in a LONG time if you are fully aware of how much the Erin's editing team butcher the series as a whole. On top of the Erins' themselves not keeping a personal world bible to keep up with the plot and characters and ruining characters for everyone. In truth, it is far more like a 3 star - 3 1/2 stars book and I'll tell you why with many spoilers. Every time Stormfur opened his mouth, I laughed. Every time I thought about the morals behind this story, I laughed. Every time I saw a panel with a gigantic fox in the page and 4 tiny cats fighting it, I rolled my eyes. Stormfur, the cat who will go on to leave RiverClan and everyone he knows behind to go live in the death trap mountains with a hot female and his sister's future dead corpse (which EVERYONE should know about at this point), is making declarations that he will always live in RiverClan because he loves it there. They also go out of their way TWICE to show that he is just surrounded by groups of friends and is liked by everyone and also has a life outside of his mentor and sister and father. Speaking of which, he is a clone of Greystripe now and everyone loves him. He leaves RiverClan TWICE AND ThunderClan once to live the rest of his days in a godforsaken mountain in the latest books, remember? This cat...declares his loyalty to them like 3 times, as naturally as air. You see why I'm laughing. Honestly, only Stormfur and Feathertail have a different personality in this book while everyone else is pretty spot on. I was annoyed that they kept throwing Hawkpaw and Mothpaw into the mix like they were going to do something special in this book but they never did so it's just timeline accuracy. They actually made Sasha leaving more plausible than the other books so far, which I was never satisfied with. It feels kinda weird how Sasha is clearly fitting in RiverClan much better than her own arc shown, and she behaves like a concerned mother instead of being clearly selfish in the previous edition. I do feel that while her reasons for not staying do make more sense, she could have just never gone to the gatherings and taken a new name. RiverClan didn't border with ShadowClan back then, so the odds of meeting them were next to zero if Leopardstar ordered the Clan to go out of their way to not mention Sasha by name anymore. Also, she kinda just drops the bomb on this anyway by telling the four clans in person just before they leave for good. Sasha is a bit all over the place... I did like how Ferncloud was Feathertail's friend in ThunderClan and that Feathertail is shown to have more complicated feelings towards ThunderClan, who treated them great while her clanmates ordered her death. I always felt it shallow that she, Stormfur, and Mistyfoot just forgave her Clan for that and returned and now she is having moments of regret about that. It feels much more natural and organic than Twigpaw's multi-Clan jumping and I love it. I do wish that Feathertail talked to Mistyfoot about this, or at least confronted her Clanmates about this instead of focusing on Hawkpaw and Sasha. Maybe even said no during her warrior ceremony for a change (like ever) and called them out on it. It's a shame that all this blame was put on Leopardstar. I mean, she is guilty but they never bring up Stonefur's death or even confront the root of all this, which is the moral of this whole thing: Feathertail feels betrayed by EVERY SINGLE ONE of her clanmates when they wanted her dead when Tigerstar was still around. But again, she narrows down on Leopardstar towards the end of this and just doesn't do anything with her Clanmates. And once the thing with Leopardstar is quickly forgiven, she's totally able to forgive EVERYONE and even stops stalking HAWKPAW. Everyone also doesn't know what is stuck up her butt but doesn't ask either, clearly just choosing to forget the past like it never happened. Which even I feel like they just got away with it, like it was a delirious anime fever dream. Not the most thrilling options, but eventually she doesn't trust anyone except Stormfur and Greystripe. FEATHERTAIL: At one point, wishes for Leopardstar to die. (I'd wish for her to die onscreen just once myself but still.... This brings me back to the moral of this story: Clan loyalty. Even when your Clan is wrong or being stupid, you have to side with them and nothing and no one else matters beyond your Clan's needs. ..........This IS Feathertail, right? Remember when I said that Stormfur and Feathertail changed? Feathertail is completely different! I don't hate it, but I laugh when I think about THIS VERSION OF FEATHERTAIL in Series 2. THIS version of Feathertail would NOT die for a bunch of strangers inside a mountain cave. THIS version of Feathertail would NOT fall in love with a WindClan apprentice. THIS version of Feathertail would NOT become a clone of Silverstream that she is in the series as we know. THIS version of Feathertail would NOT have a circle of friends outside Stormfur and her Clan. THIS version of Feathertail WOULD have a life beyond her brother. THIS version of Feathertail WOULD have had a decent life in RiverClan, maybe even have influenced Hawkpaw more and enjoyed becoming mentor to lots of apprentices. THIS version of Stormfur would NOT have abandoned his Clanmates, StarClan, AND his father for his dead sister and a hot female. nope. I love this characterization but it just ain't happenin'. But I forgive it all just the same. It's a nice quick read and nothing more. Review: cats are best - This book is the BEST.fethertail is not lucky because she is HALF CLAN.tigerstar hated half clan cats.now feather tail feels uncomfortable around her clan mates.but that all changes when Sasha comes in.a rogue with two kits named moth and hawk.but feather tail soon finds out that Sasha loved tigerstar. they can no longer be friends.

amazing series
Warrior Cats has been a favorite since childhood. I'm an adult now but I really wanted to get back into the series and actually try to read it al, as most of my knowledge comes from what others talk about it or animations/art made by other fans, I barely even finished the first arc as a kid lol. Every book they have is a 10/10 in at least one way if not a 10/10 overall. Love this series, hoping to collect all the books someday!

It's Very Tight and Well Written
This is what I've been wanting from the warriors series for a very long time - a tightly written narrative with great characters and stacks without the bloat of random plot elements and useless characters. This book is very emotionally driven, with some good introspection on the Clan life, but it still has some good action. The artist has also improved greatly from his first debut and it shows. Everything is beautifully colored. I highly recommend this for all Warrior Cat fans. NEW READERS BEWARE: It stands as a pretty okay stand alone for new readers, though it does talk about some 2nd arc events that may require some pre-reading if you're not very good at picking up on certain story clues. This book is not going to be the one that helps catch you up on the latest arc as this character only shows up in arc 2; The New Prophecy.

Great for a 10 year old
I ordered this book for my 10 year old, along with another in the series. She loves them and hates to put them down. Moderate reading level. Great graphics.

Recommend for any Warrior Cat lovers <3
To be honest at first i couldnt really get to the point. But as you move on the story is amazing. Although the book is good there is one thing that snappes at me to write a four star review. This is because even though the characters were good, the topic was wayyy overlapped and coated thick with betrayal. Also, as i say this, from what i read from another, Feathertail did not have any stripes ;-; (Check out Warriors the new prophecy, Midnight). Either Feathertail was drawn wrong, or the book didnt have enough info. I might be being way too sensitive, but unfortunately, the storyline was way too overlapping, but mostly, i really liked the book, and to my horror as well, i had to give this a four star review, and lose a bit of interest to Erin Hunter :( this is truly my worst nightmare- where my most favorite auther was taken off her first place of my list :< But i will be still reading her books, and i hope to see a development of my favorite writer. Feathertail was just too ovelapped with worry, and having too much unnecessary frustration and greif, and it felt like i was her scratching post, i felt like she was pouring down her claws at me. It was truly good, but it just wasnt enough to convince me of a five star review. If anyone else was kind of dissatisfied with this, i will probably understand why. Have a great day and be sure to stay safe and keep writing those wonderful books, Erin Hunter! :D

A Shadow in Riverclan
Thank you to whomever drew on this box! It absolutely made my daughter’s day. We’ve been staying in an Airbnb while we wait to move into our new house 3 states away from friends and family and we can’t rent at the library because we don’t technically have our address yet and so I ordered her some books. This little doodle brought such a smile to her face so thank you Amazon Angel.

but the comics showed a side of her I deeply enjoyed reading about. Some things just don't pass you by and it's nice to see fictional cats struggle with things and complex emotions and alas, overcoming them. The colored pages add so much life to the comics. A Shadow in Riverclan has yet to be my favorite!

Amazing book I love how at the end it foreshadows the 2 warrior cats series as oak heart talks too feather tail about the prochey in her dream you definitely should read this before the second series as it gives feather tail more chacter because if you read this book before the new prochey you won't know about feather tail other then she's 1 of silver streams kittens this is a must read for any warrior cats fan😼
