Book Reviews of Warriors Super Edition: Bluestar's Prophecy
Book Review: Fantastic, nostalgic Warrior Novel
Summary: 5 Stars
*SPOILER ALERT*
Bluestar's Prophecy was without a doubt Erin's greatest triumph since Firestar's Quest. In fact, no, it is on par with A Dangerous Path, ranking it just below The Darkest Hour. Truly an outstanding addition to the Warriors Saga.
Wonderfully moody, heart-poundingly nostalgic and very well written, this has a far more focused feel than the POT, mainly because it's only got one POV, but also because it has little fat on it; it zooms through a long life in about 500 pages. Normally, this would seem to be a negative thing, but the Erin's pulled it off very well here.
Despite the fact it has no coherent villain, BP compensates with it's time-span; seeing kits grow into warriors is one of my favourite parts of Warriors, and this is exceptional in this regard. Bizarrely, and people may find this wierd since I wuv Tigerstar, I really disliked him up until he was made a warrior, and I really didn't like Thistleclaw too much. The whole Tiny thing was shocking. It feels great to know that karma comes around and smacks Tigerstar in the face like a twoleg monster.
I might have been just me, but medcats, signs, prophecies, ceremonies and other things linked to Starclan are far cooler than before. Goosefeather is awesome, as was Hawkheart; a really vicious warrior that called by Starclan to become Medicine Cat? It makes you wonder... did Starclan do that to stop him from becoming leader, and fulfilling some dark destiny?
As I said earlier, the mood in this book is wonderful, though typically dark, or sad. The part where Bluefur gives her kits to Oakheart is heart-wrenching, as is when Bluefur has to tell Whitekit his mother has died...
Speaking of Whitekit, nostalgia is a crucial component of this book. And my-oh-my, it's wonderful. Who didn't chuckle when they first saw Talltail, or Yellowpaw, or heard that Brokenpaw attacked a couple of Riverclan apprentices at a gathering? Watching cats be born, grow up, get mates. have kits that you recognise and even become elders within the same book is pretty awesome.
Well, I suppose I should finish as I started; this book is a must-read for any Warrior fan, or anyone who's recently gone off of Warriors. I promise you, you won't be disappointed.
