Top Ten Worst Warrior Cats Books

Which ten Warrior Cats stories simply were a total let down? Erin Hunter, I suggest you look away now... this may get ugly!
The Top Ten
1 Spottedleaf's Heart

Spottedleaf's Heart is basically a book that sounds like a messed up warrior cats fanfic. But NOPE. This book is CANON. WHY, ERINS, WHYYY! And, of course, the Erins ALWAYS have an excuse to say their books are child friendly. The following is an official summary of Spottedleaf's Heart from the official Warrior Cats website.
"Young apprentice Spottedpaw is determined to become a warrior …until she realizes that to save her Clan, she must become its next medicine cat."
BRUH. It's just a cover-up to make sure the book gets published. I don't know why the publishers were SO DUMB and decided that THIS abomination should get published. Like, what the heck? Were the Erins on something when they made this book? Like, SERIOUSLY, it makes NO SENSE.

2 Sign of the Moon

This book was one of my favorites in the entire Warriors series, and that says a lot, considering I've loved and read every book. I felt my heart in my throat while reading this, and I've never felt emotional enough about a book, T.V. show, movie, etc. to make me feel like I might cry. Jayfeather and Half Moon's relationship was amazing, considering Jayfeather has never had true feelings of love for anyone other than his brother and sister. This book was amazing, and left me astonished that anyone could write such a masterpiece.

This was simply an excuse to kill off Stoneteller and Swoop, to send the cats to the mountains, to see the ancient cats and most importantly make a prophecy that will kill Firestar. The only thing I liked was when Ivypool and Blossomfall got lost in the tunnels and Fallen Leaves and Hollyleaf help them out. Apart from that, there were just random eagle attacks, two different kinds of deaths in one chapter, and randomness. Plus, I can't find my adventure game!

3 Starlight

I totally agree with the first comment. I thought exactly the same. I never actually read this book because I got like 5 minutes in and it bored me to tears. Just some rubbish about organising patrols. Perspectives kept switching. Journey was long and dreary. No fighting whatsoever
Terrible series

In my opinion, the second series was really really boring. All they did was travel to a badger, find a tribe, have a death, then they took the other cats with them. I mean, I know you need to make books to make the journey, but I'm quite sure you didn't need to make it a whole entire series! I don't mean to sound so negative for the second series, but there's another thing that I didn't like. What's with the sudden change of perspectives? In the first series, it was all Firestar's perspective. I actually expected that when I finished The Darkest Hour. I was like, "Ooh yay, let's see Firestar as a leader! " NOPE. When I saw it was at Brambleclaw's perspective, I was like okay. That's fine. But then it kept switching and switching. First, Brambleclaw, then Squirrelflight, then Feathertail, then Crowfeather, then Leafpool, then Stormfur, then Brambleclaw again! Just saying, you could've made the perspective changing a bit slower. So that we can fit into it ya'know? Anyway, it wasn't that bad but it wasn't the best. (Sorry for making this really long! )

4 SkyClan's Destiny

This book was weird. Daylight warriors, (which in apprentice's quest *spoilers* is revealed to have party caused skyclan's third downfall) scaring a two leg Toy Story's Sid style, and helping a hurt girl like in homeward bound. I don't know, if just doesn't feel like a warrior book at all. Better the second time I read it, but still, worst warriors book.

I can admit, there aren't many Warriors cats book I didn't like. But SkyClan's Destiny? It reached the list. It was SO boring! There was that one scene were the kits were playing and after that... We learn about kittypets who like to help Clan cats? What sense does that make? There was no battles, no sickness, no death, no plot twist, no nothing. Just a random story about my least favourite Clan. This one and Dawn are probably my 2 least favourite books in the entire series, even though this one is slightly worse. I just hated SkyClan's destiny! I'm not saying I like it when cats die (Darktail and Needletail's deaths are an exception) but even though most of the time it's my favourite characters who die, it still throws in some story! It makes cats turn evil, turn good, go phsyco, swear vengeance, it throws in a plot twist! SkyClan's Destiny lacked all the good qualities and interesting things about Warriors, and I hate that. What happened to the normal? Now we just have stupid kittypets and dumb forgotten Clans living their every day life. -FeirceheartOfThunderClan

5 Rising Storm

I'm not saying that rising storms is an amazing warrior cats book but I'm not saying this book sucks ether. This has its good parts like the fire and yellowfang's death (which is sad but that I think sometimes makes the warriors books better) but then again their is boring parts to this book.

I think this book is my LEAST favourite. The book doesn't have good pacing, lacks a lot of the series' keyplot trademarks, such as action, thrills and subplots (I not saying that this book doesn't have subplots, I just saying that there're a minority in this book.) And it feels like Victoria Holmes run out of ideas for this novel and asked to Kate Cary something like: "Well... I dunno... Try to show them there everyday-boring-clan routine that the fans MIGHT swallow it... I guess? "

WHAT? How is this book bad it's awesome I'm even thinking about reading it again once I finish sunrise it was awesome I was sad that yellowfang died (until I read leafpool s wish because of what she did to squirellflidght ) but it was undoubtedly great how can it be worst? HATERS!

6 Mistystar's Omen

Mothwing doesn't believe in starclan. Yey. Why did we need a whole book about something we already know? Cloudtail didn't believe in starclan either, but we didn't get a whole side story about that. Now that I think about it, that probably would've been more interesting.

This is my second least favorite short story. The obvious is stated, and that's about it.

Not much happened, Mistystar became leader, found out Mothwing didn't believe in StarClan, chose Reedfeather as her deputy who was nearly killed by a dog... yep, nothing at all.

7 Tigerclaw's Fury

They should make a whole Super Edition for Tigerstar. I personally enjoyed this and a super edition might justify his evil nature.

I have read this book and I believe that erin hunter should have carried the story until the finish. the complete finish...

Nice to see inside Tigerclaw's head, but it was too short and a bit same old and predictable.

8 The Fourth Apprentice

A story about a prissy holy-named cat who apparently has powers (and not Hollyleaf, who deserved to actually live longer and prove that just because she was a normal cat didn't mean she can't be part of a prophecy) and her somewhat less annoying and smarter sister, more crappy overused romance, and a bunch of whining and complaining.

That pretty much sums it up.

About a stupid kit and her stupid sister who are best friends. "Oh no a prophecy! Sister who get dream wins" apparently, to Ivypaw, everything in life is a competition! So she is recruited to the dark forest. Dovepaw is whining about how much "pressure" cats are putting on her, when she's putting pressure on herself. Ivypaw is training with Hawkfrost! Gasp! Dovepaw whines! Then she goes to the caves with some cats and falls in love with Tigerheart. They meet up (I'm doing more than this book), and love each other. But Bumblestripe wants Dovewing. The battle! Dovewing abandons the battle and hides in a bush until its over. Hollyleaf, Ferncloud, Sorreltail, Firestar and more brave warriors who ACTUALLY FOUGHT WITH NO POWERS died. Dovewing is congratulated while she throws a tantrum because she no longer has powers. Best arc ever.

9 Twilight

This book... Okay, so I like when Leafpool helped river clan (I believe that was this one) but Leafpool and Crowfeather, I don't know. See, I thought that it was Leafpool who knew that she was going to die (not CinderPelt) so I was okay with their romance because I thought Leafpool was making the most out of the rest of her life. The worst though, was Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight. They were fighting all of the time and it was so irritating. It just killed the book for me.

More raging arguments between Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight, plus welcoming Daisy and her kits into the Clan... badgers attacking so that Cinderpelt and Sootfur can die... this book was pretty depressing at times. I mean, Onestar was totally uncool, whilst I did rather like ShadowClan having to turn to ThunderClan for once for help.

This was an awful book in my opinion. There was no action! The only reason that this was written was to inform the flames between Bramblestar and Squirrelflight, Leafpool to force a forbidden love with Crowfeather, and for Cinderpelt to die.

10 Dawn

I was bored throughout the entire book, and the same chapters kept happening OVER and OVER again. I can't tell you how many times I tuned out from this book. The only parts that had the smallest amount of drama/excitement were the hawks in the mountains (with a few cats almost getting carried away), Crowpaw/feather grieving over Feathertail's grave, and Squirrelpaw getting her cool warrior name. Other than that, they could have just used about 1-2 chapters to tell the story of moving to the lake and stuff.

Honestly the second series wasn't awful, but it was kinda just boring to me. I thought that Dawn, Twilight and Starlight were really boring and kinda irritating because it was just about Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight fighting and Leafpool never really seemed like an interesting character to me

The only book of TNP that didn't suck was Sunset. I don't like that they killed off Hawkfrost, but at least it had story! Up until Twilight it's just walking... and walking... and more walking. This arc was my least favourite, it was so boring! I liked the characters, but there was no plot twist and nothing interesting happened. Like seriously, four main cats died in that arc. And all of them were amazing! Seriously though it was just; Feathertail, bam! Tallstar, bam! Cinderpelt, bam! Hawkfrost, bam! And Smokepaw and Dappletail but they were pointless and Smokepaw is still alive as Smokefoot so who cares? This entire arc was bust, but this book was the 2nd worst ever next to SkyClan's Destiny. I hated all the walking! Like seriously, NOBODY CARES! Quite it with the walking! I just don't understand why there was so much walking. Walking for one book is okay, but three and a half? That's just insane. The Erins could've added a lot more story. -FeirceheartOfThunderClan

The Contenders
11 The Ultimate Guide

Great Starclan, this book spoilt SO MUCH! Like the person Frostheart, I also read the book when I was 8, but unlike them, I ABSOLUTELY REGRET reading it, because I still remember all those spoilers and it completely wrecked the whole 'The Prophecies Begin' series and bits and pieces from other series! I'm still very mad about this because now I know about characters deaths that aren't even alive in the parts of the book I'm reading, so when they're born I'm gonna go "Oh, you, no point in liking you because your just gonna die." It's SO ANNOYING! And even if I had finished all the books and was like, "Oh, now I can check out what it has to say about these characters." Or "What happened to that character? What did they look like again?" Heaps, and I mean HEAPS of the information is incorrect anyways.
-Crowfang.

I had finished reading A Dangerous Path at school. It was now summer. I went to the Austin Public Library to find a Warriors book. I found The Ultamite Guide. I actually liked it, though it gave me a bunch of spoilers. By the time I got to the end of the book, I already knew about The Three and Leafpool being their mother, Dovewing and Ivypool, Firestar's death, and more. Good, but read it after DotC.

12 Dovewing's Silence

! IT'S SO BORING! Like maybe it could be better if it told about Dovewing's real feelings toward Bumblestripe and all, but no, instead its like a 20 page book that doesn't even say anything about the flood... BOOORING!

Sorry, didn't we get a whole arc dedicated to you? AND NOW A SHoRT STORY? Waste your space on Cinderpelt or someone we actually want to hear about.

Why did she not die? I hate her AND her sister! I like Ivypool a bit better, but she is JUST as whiny, ungrateful and annoying.

13 The Sun Trail

Dawn of the clans must have been really damn good for only 1 book (this one) to be in the top 11-20. There are no others above it right now. Can't wait to read it!

This book is the most boring book in warrior series for me. I did not enjoy a bit of this.

It was really boring. I thought it would be cooler like Midnight, but this was like 25% of Midnight's excitment

14 Crookedstar's Promise

I'm half way through this book and I have to say, its definitely one of my favorites. Its very sad but all in all it was a good book about whats inside the heart and not like other warrior cats books I've read in the past.

It's my favorite super edition! It extremely sad and heart-breaking, but it is my second favorite book of all time This should be in the top 3 best warrior books, to be honest.

How is this on here? It is one of the best books in the whole series! And it seems most people would agree with me.

15 Tigerheart's Shadow

What the heck! This is, like, the best super edition! Tigerheart is my 2nd favorite character (Hollyleaf is 1st) And people need to STOP hating Dovewing. She was never 'Miss Perfect' or whatever, and anyway this book is AMAZING.

This book is terrible! It kept on saying "pricked and prickled" which was very annoying so I couldn't even finish it!

I don't hate the book completely I actually enjoyed it. Well part of it. It's just ine with a few flaws. Besides that it's FREAKING AWESOME! I loved it! It's an underrated book! And should be given another chance!

16 Forest of Secrets

This book is overrated. I also don't get the hype about Silverstream, she's just another Mary Sue. The only part I really liked was when FireHeart became deputy and Silverstream's death was kinda sad, but I think there's deaths that are way sadder then hers. I do have to admit her children are pretty dope, especially Feathertail, but overall it's just another cheesy love story book

This is the best book in the world!
First, Nightstar finds out that Thunderclan is sheltering Brokentail and then Tigerclaw brings a lot of rouges with him to Thunderclan so he can kill Bluestar and be Thunderclan's next leader! It is just so EXCITING!

This is the best one so far! I'm still on Twilight, so I haven't read many. But still, this is number 1.

17 The Outcast

I found this book pretty much filler, this book was unnecessary. It felt like an excuse to put the Tribe of Rushing Water in there, and this book contributed nothing to the series.

Whoever said this was Omen of the Stars, check the cover. It's Power of Three, dingle!

The cover looks like they are mating!

18 A Dangerous Path

I hate it so much. Bluestar was being edgy and some random untrained dogs swallowed her then Fireheart threw a tantrum over it and the Clan started whining because they hate him.

Why? This is one of the best books!

19 Midnight

I was disappointed that it wasn't if Firestar's perspective, it was more interesting and exiting. Also when the book started, I couldn't believe they skipped a whole year! I recommend getting Firestar's Quest if you miss him, and want to read about the missing parts. Otherwise, it was a good book.

As good as al, warrior books are, this was slow and boring. It didn't flow very well and it felt like AGES before it ended.

It's just a bunch of random cats who go on a adventure and the adventure wasn't suspenseful or touching.

20 The Last Hope

Why is this not higher on the list? it so poorly written and so rushed... they killed off Spottedleaf and Ferncloud for no good reason! and Hollyleaf dies after bringing her back a book ago! what...

I, honestly, don't understand why this isn't on the list! I felt like it was so rushed. I mean,the battle between Firestar and Tigerstar was only one page! Also, it was really boring.Overall, it was a really bad series ending and a book that was probably going to be interesting.(I personally didn't like the series)

First of all that battle between tigerstar and firestar wasn't a huge event. Ok firestar is a beloved character.. But the main battle is the clans against tdf...

21 Eclipse

What happened in this book exactly? I remember that they were fighting for some reason but then an eclipse happened. I seriously don't remember anything that happened here. Thank god Long Shadows was so good or else I would have been even more upset.

This book is great! Sol looks powerful and great, and the battle is exciting!

I'm just now finishing this book and I am bored out of my mind.

22 Bluestar's Prophecy
23 The Sight

Yes! People just use Jaypaw's blindness as a way to 'understand' him more? Really? " Ooh, I am one with Jayfeather. " I hated this book. It took me about 4 days to read just because of them. And it was the worst on the last page. " Leafpool was right to be wary of him. All his Clanmates should be. And not just of him, but of Lionpaw and Hollypaw as well. One day we will be so powerful that we shall command even StarClan! " ( 363 ) That's what I'd picture Tigerstar or Brokenstar or Hawkfrost would say! Without reading the rest of the series it sounds just like a Dark Forest cat! " we shall command even StarClan! " Are you kidding me? I find that overpowering and stupid just how far they went with that line. Sunrise, I guess... was a bit better? With Sol and Dovekit and Ivykit...
~Owlpaw

This was good not much happened but they were kits and young apprentices so you can't expect young young cats to do much, a great book

24 Sunrise

I for one actually liked this book. It was boring at times, but towards the end when all the secrets were revealed, it got more interesting. Even though Hollyleaf didn't die, her departure still struck me for a while. The book sort of reminds me of Forest of Secrets, which is an awesome book.

This book should be higher on the list. Other than the ending, the plot was so boring! I don't really remember what happened in this book, but I remember that half of the plot consisted of everyone walking somewhere. This book felt like such a chore to read, and I wanted to skip it so badly.

I HATE this book. In fact, I hate the arc. Hollyleaf didn't even die, yet Jayfeather and Lionblaze insist so. The ending annoyed me so much. "The gray one has such fluffy fur, the silver one is pretty." Sandstorm meowed. No, they are both ugly, and kittens when they are first born can't look like Cleopatra

25 Tallstar's Revenge

Of all things I like the plot but the way it was told was not very interesting.

Tallstar to me is almost a villain in this book.

I hate everyone in this book accept for tallstar.

All this book ever talks about is tallstar going on and on about how he's gonna kill Sparrow and then finding out that he shouldn't really kill Sparrow after all.

Tallstar's Revenge has a good plot. Though, sometimes it lacked action. His revenge wasn't fulfilled ( Not that there's anything wrong with that )
