Review: I must say, this took me forever to finish, because I only read for an hour at a time. When I finally finished it, I was relieved, and ready to move on to 'Dawn'. This book is the second of The New Prophecy, and I still found it difficult reading about Stormfur and Brambleclaw and such instead of Firestar and Graystripe. However, it still has the writing style I admire, the writers are really great at catching your eye when it comes to writing style. Many deaths come in this book, including the death of the beautiful elder Dappletail, who died after eating a poisinous rabbit. Others die as well, every one more tragic than the last. Although the book was captivating, as it was on my mind when I wasn't reading it, it's wasn't the best of the Warriors books. I enjoyed reading Midnight more than Moonrise, and that's my opinion. So far, this has been one of the not so great Warriors books. On a scale from one to ten, I'd have to say it gets a five.

I have to agree. I will always love the Warriors series, I started reading them when I was 13 and still reading them at the age of 19.
Although as more come, they get harder to enjoy the same without yearning for the old forest and view points from the older characters. Somehow it seems they slowly become less harsh because the reading audience becomes younger and younger.
Moonrise certainly had introduced many new twists, and all the deaths that occurred were really hard ones. The New Prophesy actually reminded me a little of watership down in the aspect they are on a new journey to find a new home. While it didn't totally disappoint, I will always miss the first story arc, but warriors holds a special place in my heart since it is the first series that got me to start reading non-stop, and I always can't wait for more!
