Midnight (Warriors: The New Prophecy, Book 1)

the new prophecy has always been my favorite of the warrior cats series. it's a kind of running engine – one whose plot has not yet fizzled out into desolate tropes and claims at family history.  returning to brambleclaw and squirrelflight's beginnings illustrates just how tender they  used to be, and how much potential their romance arc contained. their dialogue is parabolic, reach upwards to meet at a defined point and the intimacy they provide each is hard-won. the erins never nailed that sort of chemistry again, and so 

 is a kind of final sighting. even more lovely, the littering about of its lore is far more refined than usual. history and ancestry are incorporated in parallels, through characterization and dialogue in small increments. perhaps it is due to who the main character is after all. this brambleclaw, by far the best one written, is its beating heart.

3 stars. buddy read

I completely forgot what happened since the first time I read this book. Compared to the first read, it was a bit lackluster. It was an introduction back into the world and building up the plot, so it was a bit slow. I liked how Hunter came up with new names for the cats instead of repeating them endlessly. Even though I have ranked this book a bit low compared to the others, I feel like it will get better in time.

*** spoiler review ***

I have to say, I honestly doubted Hunter since she changed the POV to Brambleclaw from Firestar. Also, how Firestar seemed like a closeminded cat and pushing Squirrelpaw from Brambleclaw, which didn't work out ...

The journey to the sun-down place was interesting. From meeting Purdy, having milk, the rat encounter, the plains, to the sun-down place. I also liked Midnight, I did not expect that and it changed my whole thinking of the book.

Can't wait to buy the next one!

I loved this one, but like into the wild I have to get it into the story.
Brambleclaw and Leafpaw are our new narrator, which takes some getting used to, and the events have had a timeskip since the darkest hour.
4 cats are chosen for a journey, though 6 take it, and takk to Midnight.
Though I understand the necessity to make them feel like one and thus convince the clans to leave I wonder why this message couldn’t have been given by starclan to the medicine cats? Surely the leaders would have listened to them, but I quite loved reading about the journals and characters in other clans.
Besides, I absolutely love Squirrelpaw
