I just finished reading the first Warriors series. I liked the sixth book best, The Darkest Hour. I thought the battle between the clans and Blood Clan was exciting. My least favorite was book five because I thought the bad guys were kind of boring.

I liked this series but I don’t know if I’ll read the others. But maybe I will sometime in the future.

 
Also check out Ayra’s review of this series!

“Warriors” is a book series about cats that live in the wild. The first book, “Into the Wild”, features Rusty: A nice house-cat who lives with his humans. However, Rusty soon realizes there is a world beyong his yard. Rusty ventures into the wild and discovers a whole new community of wild cats. Rusty then abandons his easy life and goes to live with the wild cats. Will Rusty survive, or will the whole forest plunge into peril? This book is very interesting, and hooks you into the story as you go along. I would reccomend “Warriors” by Erin Hunter to you anyday! I hope you enjoy this book as much as I do!
