Top 10 Reasons Why Warrior Cats is a Great Book Series

Warrior Cats is my second favorite book franchise (nothing can beat Pretty Little Liars, of course) and these are the reasons why I love this series.
The Top Ten
1 Great Plot

The plot is great! No other series has such a great plot. Estimated, one book comes out every year or more. I can't remember because by the time I was born Warriors was 11 years old. I started reading it because multiple of my friends play and love it and I convinced more of my friends to read it. Every other series has a cruddy plot while Warriors has the best plot ever. One of the books with a bad plot is Wings of Fire:
The characters automatically know everything out of nowhere. And there are side adventures that make no sense while Warriors makes sense to smart fans of it. I hate everyone who hates Warriors. I say it has a 9/10 plot, the plot has some strange things added in the could be fixed, and that's OK. Other books have weird plots. I would never stop reading the books even if my life depended on it! Warriors has inspired me to become an author! - Moonstar of ThunderClan

2 Cool Characters

It is so cool. Also, it is a book so this is for the people who think warrior cat books are bad. It is not like they acally kill. and warrior cat books are so intresting I feel like the people who hate warrior cats hate books. And if you hate books you will have some promblems in your life. So warrior cat books are good. So you say us, fans are a psychopath ya no good luck with those problems. Oh and fire star left is home becuase his owners treated him like trash he needed a new faimley you would not know that because again you have promblems Erin hunter is a geineouse

3 Positive Messages

Warrior cats gives people positive role models and life lessons. They learn to forgive crimes, forgive themselves and carry on with life.

This has positive messages such as protecting their clans and the people the characters love.

Warrior Cats is an amazing series that shows loyalty, passion, and choosing wisely

4 Not as Childish as You'd Think

There are so many interesting themes in Warrior cats. Younger children may not notice but when you are older it is really interesting to find all the different concepts of religion, war and betrayal in these books.

It contains:
Murder
Racism (against domestic cats/kittypets and half-clans etc)
War
Cats turning insane
Love drama
Giving birth
Tragic pasts
Child rejection
Still think it's childish?

Heck yes. I swear, the people these days are reading Elmo books to teenagers. Warriors is actually interesting, something that's not for babies.

5 For Everyone

Unless you can't handle violence, and I'd say it's for ages 10+, but I started reading a bit earlier than that so who knows?

Started reading at age 8, never stopped loving it!

Except people who can't stand violence.

6 Good Role Models

Fireheart and Graystipe helps other cats even if they aren't their best friend.

Firestar is the best role model.

7 Mature

It has really deep stuff going on, people think its for younger kids, but I honestly believe teens and adults can read it too.

Well, the books are. It's fans...I think it's safe to say we're all weirdos.

Please don't hate me

8 Not Stereotypical
9 Cool Fanbase

There is a massive fanbase that is so wonderful and has spawned countless animations and art. Some people live off creating incredible warrior cats fan animations

Urm... Something I may have to disagree on. Being a crazy fan who used to write fanfictions and role play, I can say the fan base is kind of scary.

The fans of the books are really cool and nice, unlike some fanbases that are annoying.

10 Females are Valued as Much as Males

As society progresses, we see that this happens more often than not, which is a good thing. The thing is, that for books today to show that they in their universe do value women as much as men, they often have to point it out directly, to an extend where it's too much.
The Warriors series does a good job of completely disregarding this, and basically giving it to us like it's completely normal for that time which it was written in.

Yeah, it's not like " She-cats have to be queens or medicine cats, and when they are to old, they HAVE to become elders. The toms will protect the she-cats their whole life." it is like " Toms and she-cats can become anything they want." I really like that!

The Contenders
11 It's About Cats

The comment that said dog people won't touch it? I love dogs & hate cats.. Yet I love the Warrior series. It's my favorite.

Of course! Dog people will never even dare to touch it!

I'm a dog person (cats are cute too) and I love warriors!

12 Clever

It is! If I was to type a chapter book, and I was given 300 pages, I wouldn't know what to write of! The whole idea was very clever to come up with. Props to you, Erin Hunter!

The plot is so unpredictable and well thought out!

13 The Romance

Greystripe xsilverstream for life! Sandstorm x fireheart forever!

Makes you really love the characters even more, and gives the book more depth

14 Evil Cats Have a Reason to Become Evil

In a lot of books you have villains that are just said to be pure evil or not explained at all. In warriors every single villain has a reason for being evil, and some characters- like Hollyleaf - are in the grey area, which is even more rare.

Yeah, because you can't just say: I'm gonna be evil because I can! like, bad guys have a reason, like for example: I want power! Or: I want revenge!

Yup! Even it has a reason why scourge killed TigerStar!

15 Contains Violence

The violence is awesome. Eyes getting clawed out, bleeding to death while giving birth, being crippled by a car, stomach ripped open, throats slit, getting half your face ripped off by a dog. Yeah, it's awesome.

16 Depth

So much work has been put into this series!
So many books, characters, plots,

The characters are super relatable and awesome!

17 Different Plots

Many books besides Warrior Cats just have the same thing: always one hero to save a villain who looks impossible to defeat; magical spells and worlds, or just a plain old peaceful life you can't understand. I'm not saying EVERY SINGLE book, it's just that I've read books and most of them have one of the above.
In warrior cats, you venture into many life stories and lessons we must accept. Bringing in many different characteristics of each cat has taught me that not everyone uses talents the way I use mine, so shoving them into bright light isn't the same old boring thing everyone's seen. I was expecting to see an ending like "and they all lived forever in peace" or some great old ending in one of these books. But turns out, they will never rest in peace. This is a Survival game, not just the regular one, it has many wars and battles. Take the one for StarClan against The Dark Forest (which I mention reluctantly) for example. Warrior Cats was an awesome introduction to my living. I may be an average kiddo by day, but at night, there's no doubt I'm a Warrior by heart. And what I really mean to say is, no two warrior cat books are exactly alike!

18 When Cats are Dead They Aren’t Gone Forever

Let's be honest. StarClan is the BEST! When you're dead you go there (if you lived a good trustworthy life), and it makes the books much more interesting!! - a wc fan!

StarClan makes me feel so much better after a cat dies. Imagine if they all just disappeared?!?!

Awesome upside which makes the deaths a bit easier.Then they perma-killed Bristlefrost and I start to wonder if the whole previous 47 books were just so this death would be more sad.

19 An Expansive, Interesting Universe
20 Still Making New Books

I can't wait for the series after the Broken code!

21 Different Character Personalities

There are many different characters, and unlike in other series, they all have there own, unique, personality. Ravenpaw and Graystripe are quite different, so are Leopardstar and Firestar.

Yeah, this makes it realistic, because that in real life, all the cats in the world have different personalities!

22 The Risks

Honestly, it was amazing when Fireheart ( or Firestar ) risked his life to try to save Bluestar!

23 Multiple Good Plots

Every arc of the series has a prophecy that will be fullfilled by arc's end. Excluding Power of Three and Omen of the Stars. The first arc was about this kitty pet named Rusty that was prophecized to "save the clans". By arc's end, he fulfills the that prophecy and becomes leader of ThunderClan. I'm sorry for they people reading the first arc since that explaination was a spoiler for the first arc. I only needed one example.

24 The Kits
25 Important Lessons

Like love, loyalty, equality... all that stuff? Totally.
