Separate from the main series, this book is less high-adventure than the last, where the battle occurred. This novel centers around the Clans picking up the pieces after the battle, and regrouping. Bramblestar is the newly appointed leader of ThunderClan, as the previous leader, FireStar, died in battle. Bramblestar finds himself at a loss of what to do, as his appointment as leader could not have been at a worse time. His mate is about to have kittens, and the whole clan is in shambles. The viewpoint follows Bramblestar in his struggles to make sure his clan, ThunderClan, will survive for generations to come. Everyone is interested, however, in ShadowClan. They seem to be doing quite well after the battle, except prey is scarce. Will another battle ensue? Will there be a hostile takeover? A great story for middle schoolers, the entire Warrior series manages to take a serious tone on talking animals that function in a separate society. Although about cats, the book manages to be quite dark at times, and is very well constructed. A must read, and very suitable for middle schoolers.
