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 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 friends of mine play and love it, and I convinced more 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. 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 that 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
It is so cool. Also, it is a book, so this is for the people who think Warrior Cats books are bad. It's not like they actually kill. Warrior Cats books are so interesting. I feel like the people who hate Warrior Cats hate books. If you hate books, you will have some problems in your life. So, Warrior Cats books are good.
You say us fans are psychopaths. Good luck with those problems. Oh, and Firestar left his home because his owners treated him like trash. He needed a new family. You would not know that because, again, you have problems. Erin Hunter is a genius.
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.
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, people these days are reading Elmo books to teenagers. Warriors is actually interesting, something that's not for babies.
Unless you can't handle violence, 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!
Fireheart and Graystripe help other cats, even if they aren't their best friends.
Firestar is the best role model.
It has really deep stuff going on. People think it's for younger kids, but I honestly believe teens and adults can read it too.
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.
The fans of the books are really cool and nice, unlike some fanbases that are annoying.
As society progresses, we see this happening more often than not, which is a good thing. The thing is, for books today to show that they value women as much as men in their universe, they often have to point it out directly, to an extent where it's too much.
The Warriors series does a good job of completely disregarding this and basically presenting it as completely normal for the time it was written in.
Yeah, it's not like "She-cats have to be queens or medicine cats, and when they are too 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!
I love cats no matter what, and I don't really like dogs (unless small or friendly). I think that the Warriors series could be for dog lovers too. One of my friends is a cat and dog lover (but loves dogs more), and they were reading for a while (until they got bored). But there are way more examples. - Blacktuft of ThunderClan
YES! Cats are the best animals that have ever walked the earth! It's so good that dog lovers like it! THIS is exactly why I got cats after reading it (their names are Thunder and Shadow because of me and my sister's two favorite Clans, the Clan founders, the books, because they have reasons behind the names, etc.) - Stonepaw
It is! If I were to type a chapter book, and I was given 300 pages, I wouldn't know what to write about! The whole idea was very clever to come up with. Props to you, Erin Hunter!
The plot is so unpredictable and well thought out!
Greystripe x Silverstream for life! Sandstorm x Fireheart forever!
It makes you really love the characters even more and gives the book more depth.
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! 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!
The violence is awesome. Eyes getting clawed out, bleeding to death while giving birth, being crippled by a car, stomachs ripped open, throats slit, getting half your face ripped off by a dog. Yeah, it's awesome.
Yes! THIS is exactly why I hate Harry Potter! Most of the other books with magic feature a whiny brat Gary Stu/Mary Sue protagonist. None of the characters in Warrior Cats are Mary Sues!
Here are the reasons I hate some other book series (like Harry Potter):
- The protagonist is usually an orphan. Firestar never knew his parents, but that was because he was a house cat!
- They become overpowered brats. Like in Harry Potter, he can never die. Then he becomes a Gary Stu and is super annoying!
- One Clan/House/Tribe/etc. always gets more attention than the others. This is seen a little with ThunderClan in Warrior Cats, but not to the point where you want to stop reading the books. In Harry Potter, there are probably only two other houses (besides the always "evil" Clan/Tribe/House/etc.) so that they could be brats.
There are more reasons, but I'm too lazy to list them.
There is plenty of suspense and many other fun characteristics that make the Warriors series unique! - Stonepaw
So much work has been put into this series! So many books, characters, and plots.
The characters are super relatable and awesome!
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.
I can't wait for the series after the Broken Code!
There are many different characters, and unlike in other series, they all have their own unique personalities. Ravenpaw and Graystripe are quite different. So are Leopardstar and Firestar.
Yeah, this makes it realistic because, in real life, all the cats in the world have different personalities!
Honestly, it was amazing when Fireheart (or Firestar) risked his life to try to save Bluestar!
Every arc of the series has a prophecy that will be fulfilled by the arc's end, excluding Power of Three and Omen of the Stars. The first arc was about a kitty pet named Rusty that was prophesied to "save the clans." By the arc's end, he fulfills that prophecy and becomes leader of ThunderClan. I'm sorry for the people reading the first arc since that explanation was a spoiler for the first arc. I only needed one example.
Like love, loyalty, equality... all that stuff? Totally.
