Lost Stars

xeta - TLDR: The Lost Stars is an perfect opening to the next and newest Warrior Cats series. Overall, this book was GREAT, I feel as though the Warrior series keeps getting better and better, you can tell that the authors put a lot of heart into their stories. This book was action packed, full of twists, character development and even humor at times, I strongly recommend it to longtime Warriors fans as well as newcomers to the series: you'll love it. ---------- Full Review: The Lost Stars is an perfect opening to the next and newest Warrior Cats series. At first when I found out there would be three new POV (Point of View) characters I was a bit disappointed and hesitant to read it, because I knew I was going to miss Alderheart as a POV character especially, but soon after beginning it I realized it was actually a great way to start off a fresh new series. Our new point of view characters are Rootpaw a warrior apprentice, son of Tree and Violetshine; Shadowpaw, a medicine cat apprentice, son of Tigerstar(the new one) and Dovewing; and Bristlefrost. Rootpaw is a sweet, driven cat who just wants to fit in, but having a father like Tree makes it quite difficult and he finds himself often getting teased by the other apprentices. Shadowpaw has been singled out from the start as a significant and important character who will definitely have a big impact on the story; at first I figured he'd just be another annoyingly special snowflake, but as I read on, I appreciated the Hunters believable portrayal of him as a troubled, somewhat misguided cat who just wants to do the right thing: he makes mistakes and is not always perfect, that's what makes him cool and relatable. And Bristlefrost, let's just say I relate to her the most, she's outspoken, ambitious, a bit over the top in some ways, and she has big plans for the future so of course, the Hunters had to put a stick in those plans, and the way she deals with those obstacles are what make her so likable to me. Overall, this book was GREAT, I feel as though the Warrior series keeps getting better and better, you can tell that the authors put a lot of heart into their stories. This book was action packed, full of twists, character development and even humor at times, I strongly recommend it to longtime Warriors fans as well as newcomers to the series: you'll love it. ~ Xeta <3
