      fireheart is elected the leader of the clan and now he finds out tigerclaw has come back and is the leader of shadowclan. he MUST get rid of him before he destroys the entire of thunderclan.
    • 5/5
      I love this book because it is interesting and exiting. It makes me horrified to think that Tigerclaw is back and now he is the leader of Shadow Clan.
    • 5/5
      very good book if your like cats, and like adventure.
    • 5/5
      Wow. I keep thinking these books are going to get predictable and boring but they do not. I totally adore them. LOVE these books, but not much to review except commentary on things going on:



      Things are heating up as Tigerstar becomes leader of Shadowclan. Fireheart has to speak at a clan meeting for the first time. I keep wanting Fireheart and Sandstorm to get together and have kittens but in this book, after several falling outs, they at least declare that they love each other.

      Bluestar continues to decline, almost going completely mental but comes back at the end only to die and obviously Fireheart is about to become clan leader in book 6.

      I’m so sick of Tigerstar, I wish Fireheart would defeat him already, but I suspect that will take place in book 6.

      Greystripe FINALLY returns to Thunderclan after Riverclan kicks him out for not attacking Fireheart. I am so glad Fireheart has his best friend back.

      The only thing that bothered me about this book was how crazy Bluestar was becoming. I hated her renaming the cat (can’t remember original name now) Lostface, I found that particularly cruel. But at least Bluestar regains some rationality before she dies at the end.


    • 5/5
       Fireheart knows that Tigerclaw is exiled from ThunderClan, he actually hoped he was gone for good but to his horror Tigerclaw is now Tigerstar leader of ShadowClan! He has to prevent ThunderClan from Tigerstar, but he does not know that Tigerstar has another way to destroy his clan. Perhaps another kind of animals, like dogs...
    • 5/5
      Fireheart is shocked and nervous of the newly introduced Shadowclan leader, Tigerstar. But Fireheart has other things to worry about. Cats are mysteriously getting themselves injured, and all fireheart knows is that Thinderclan needs to be careful...........
    • 5/5
      Now Tigerstar is the leader of Shadowclan. Fireheart the deputy of Thunderclan has to protect Thunderclan from the plan of Tigerstar.
    • 4/5
      I have to say that the danger in the dangerous path was certainly true. There was a lot of cruel moments that had to be passed through.
    • 4/5
      Such a beautiful, imaginative series. I choose to believe this is what happened to my Taz after she went missing. I can easily picture her being Shadow Clan.
    • 4/5
      I appreciated the fact that this book stands well on its own, despite the fact that it's part of a series with a continuing storyline. In other words, you can read it on its own and still feel like you've read a complete story instead of only part of one. Obviously reading the previous books makes the reading experience a bit richer, but still .....Anyway, the kids and I found this to be an enjoyable book overall. But I feel a word of warning is warranted for younger reader and their parents. The series has been getting progressively darker for a couple of books now. That bent takes a pretty sharp turn in this book and might not be suitable for sensitive readers.

      Mapleshade’s story is one that puts you in the steps of a mother hellbent on seeing the justice for her children. This story was a quick read but an amazing story. I myself thought that what Mapleshade did was wrong till I actually read the story. Many like me think that the story should have had a different ending.

      It’s really heartbreaking in a good way and very interesting. I love it all, even the credits! @ArticEllaFrost that’s scribd’s fault not the book’s.

      i love novellas and this book was no exeption. i absoluetly loved the first 2/3 of the book and the last third, though not as great as the first parts, was still amazing. i did find it a bit annoying how mapleshade was able to kill so many cats and so fast in only a few chapters. other than that it was like you could feel grief pouring from mappleshade, i did think she got off too easy. i would reccomend this book to anyone interested in the warriors series.

      Fireheart, still the clan deputy knows that Tigerstar is up to something bad. But Fireheart has a bigger problem, a group of dogs moved in at the Snake Rocks. Bluestar gives Cloudpaw his warrior name, Cloudtail, but no other apprentices got their warrior names making them jealous. Swiftpaw (one of the apprentices) got really mad about that and tried to convince the other apprentices to go with his and defeat them to save ThunderClan. But only one other apprentice said yes Bightpaw. When they left, the next day the mentors Longtail (Swiftpaw's mentor) and Whitestorm (Brightpaw's mentor) couldn't find them that's when Fernpaw finally told them that they went out to fight the dogs. But Fireheart didn't get there in time, when they got there Swiftpaw and Brightpaw were all bloody. Sadly Swiftpaw was already dead and Brightpaw barley alive. When Bightpaw was still too injured to talk she kept saying in her sleep "pack, pack, kill, kill". When she got well enough to do average cats duties, Bluestar gave her, her warrior name Lostface. Tigerstar put a trail of rabbits that led from the Snake Rocks to the entrance of the ThunderClan and at the end of the rabbit trail one of the ShadowClan warriors killed Brindleface so the dogs would have the taste of cats and destroy ThunderClan. But luckily Fireheart caught that and separated the trail before the dogs caught on. All the ThunderClan cats went to the Sunning Rocks to be safe. Then Fireheart made a plan to lure the lead dog off the gorge and hopefully the others would follow. Fireheart was the last cat that the dogs were following but the lead dog caught him and right before the dog was going to put the death blow on Fireheart Bluestar came and head-butted the lead dog close to the edge.

      I mean it had a few flaws but I really did enjoy the book. I wish there was a book that showed how mapleshade had her vengeance on apples kin. That is a suggestion :3 while I'm doing suggestions I would like one on goosefeather and like how he went crazy.
