Book Reviews of The Sight (Warriors: Power of Three, Book 1)
Book Review: Pad, chase, pounce
Summary: 5 Stars
Pad, chase, pounce. What do I mean by this reference? Author Erin Hunter (Cary and Baldry) seem to have a pattern that simulates the movement of a cat. The begining of the book is a slow pad, the middle is a chase, and the ending is an exciting pounce. Pad, chase, pounce. I have also noticed that the more important aspects of her stories seem to appear at the end.
Like the two other Warriors series, there always is a destined cat. The first one was Firestar (who if anyone has read the field guide might be a blood relative of the founder of Thunderclan, Thunderstar (see the illustration of Thunderstar in the field guide)), the second was Brambleclaw and finally the third is Jaypaw.
Jaypaw, blind probably because Squirrelflight had to trek through the snow while pregnant (it's mentioned twice but there really is no explination as to the reason. My guess is that there is going to be a second field guide in the future),seems to share his mothers temper. Jaypaw lets his emotions blind him, and he allows his anger and his self-hatred to consume him. He does not want to become a medicine cat just because he is blind. He wants to be a warrior so that he is not different from any other cat in his clan. However, he has a gift for being a medicine cat as if he was born to be one. Eventually he is forced by Spottedleaf to face his destiny as a medicine cat. Unlike the other cats, J.P. has the gift of visualizing other warrior cats dreams ("walking into"). However, he uses his power all the time. Yellowfang warns him that with great power comes an even greater responsibility.
I have a feeling that the reason why that the prophecy is "three cats, kin of your kin" is because Jaypaw will learn to walk into his brother and sisters dreams rather than into any other cats so that he can help them out when they do battle or they are in trouble. Moreover, when he must use it on other cats it will only be when there is a serious problem.
Overall the book is well written, and I must agree that Hunter went back to the style of the original series. BTW: Duh! Lionpaw and Heatherpaw are going to follow the paths of Bluestar and Oakheart, and Graystripe and Siverstream. I think that it's obvious to the naked eye.
Summary of The Sight (Warriors: Power of Three, Book 1)
There will be three, kin of your kin . . .
The wild cats have flourished in their new home on the banks of the lake for several seasons, and the Clans are growing strong and healthy with new kits. The time has come for three kits of ThunderClan to become apprentices.
Hollypaw, Jaypaw, and Lionpaw spring from a strong legacy: children of Squirrelflight and Brambleclaw, two of the noblest ThunderClan warriors, and grandchildren of the great leader Firestar himself. All three young cats possess unusual power and talent and seem certain to provide strength to the Clan for the next generation.
But there are dark secrets around the three, and a mysterious prophecy hints at trouble to come. An undercurrent of rage is rising against those who are not Clanborn, and the warrior code is in danger of being washed away by a river of blood. All the young cats' strength will be needed if the Clans are to survive.
. . . who hold the power of the stars in their paws.
