Sunset (Warriors: The New Prophecy, #6) Reviews
-
Fitting end to the second series. I like how things were wrapped up into a semi-neat bow with enough dangling threads to keep us wanting the third series. These books are addicting!!
-
This book is amazing. Every time I finish it, even if it's not for the first time, my heart beats as furiously, I am as sweaty and pale, and I feel as shocked as if I had been in the book and experienced the appalling turmoil that the main character had just been in. Every time I re-read it, it is as exciting and terrifying as if I had read it for the first time, and all the same things happen to me. It's the end that is the best part.
It is everything that makes the best books so good. It is full of cruel treachery and betrayal, heightening suspense, heart-stopping excitement, intriguing mystery, paling shock, and more the like. I think that if an author not as talented as Erin Hunter would have braved to write such an ending, it wouldn't have been as good. I think this is my favorite book in the whole warriors series. Even Erin Hunter would be hard-pushed to write a warriors book in a better way.
After the badger attack, Squirrelflight and Brambleclaw push away their conflicts and come together. Squirrelflight trusts Brambleclaw fully again, but Leafpool isn't so sure. She knows Tigerstar still haunts Brambleclaw's dreams, and how loyal can Brambleclaw be with his father's temptations hanging over him? Meanwhile, Brambleclaw struggles to stay loyal to his Clan and not give in to the path of his father's footsteps... -
Thumbs up! I'm greedy for warriors and this ends the arc in an awesome way. A great addicting read, with love, action, adventure and suspense, what more could you want? Character's that you become really attached too make this story even more amazing. I find these stories very believable and moving. A troubled tom cat must choose between power and loyalty to his clan and the cat he loves. A very exciting ending, loved the ending - did not know what was going to happen next. Weird reincarnation thing at the end... what will they come up with next?

Braamklauw en Havikwind hebben nog steeds nachtelijke ontmoetingen in hun dromen met hun vader Tijgerster. Hij probeert hen ervan te overtuigen om allebei ervoor te zorgen dat ze clanleider worden en dan samen het hele kattenterritorium kunnen leiden.
Ondertussen is Loofpoel teruggekomen bij de Donderclan, en heeft haar relatie met Kraaiveder opgegeven. Nu Sintelvel dood is, is zij de medicijnkat van de clan. Ze draagt ook het geheim met zich mee dat Motvleugel, de medicijnkat van de Rivierclan, niet in de Sterrenclan gelooft, en dus ook geen tekens van hen krijgt. Wanneer Motvleugel een leerling neemt, stelt zich het probleem hoe ze de leerling moet leren de tekens van de Sterrenclan te interpreteren.
Eindelijk wordt Braamklauw commandant van de Donderclan, maar het is nog maar de vraag waar zijn loyaliteit ligt, bij de clan of bij zijn familie.
Weer een erg spannend boek, waarin er veel gebeurt betreffende de relaties tussen de verschillende katten en de verschilllende clans. -
I was super anxious starting this book. As the last book of the New Prophecy series, I knew many questions would be answered, but I almost didnt want to know which way things were going to go. I was happy the book was told from BrambleClaw's perspective and hoped that would be an omen that with all the difficult choices and temptations he had to face wouldn't take him off his path. All throughout the book he keeps dreaming about his evil (and dead) father TigerStar, and joined bu his brother HawkFrost, in the dreams, TigerStar coaches them on gaining power and leading all the 4 clans among both of them. It is clear that BrambleClaw has misgivings about some things his father says, and in his waking hours he is a loyal ThunderClan cat, but the meetings with his father, and his over ambitious brother had me feeling anxious. BrambleClaw is one of my favorite characters...
The book's narration was shared again, by LeafPool, and she was also aware of BrambleClaw's dreams with TigerStar, and while she was often worried about this, she didnt let it could her judgment when StarClan gave her an omen that BrambleClaw was to be made clan deputy.
I absolutely adored the whole New Prophecy series, although I felt this book ended a bit too abruptly for my taste. Once we finally know the outcome of the prophecy ''Before there is peace, blood will spill blood...'' the book comes to a close, without sharing anything more with the reader about the characters we've grown to care for all through the series. I knew the next series 'Warriors, Power of Three'' will probably show us more, but time will have passed and it will be from a new generation of cat's perspective. Seeing as I get way too emotionally invested in fictional characters, I will miss sharing BrambleClaw's thoughts, but I am very happy with this book as the final book of the New Prophecy! -
Un muy buen final de saga, me parece que pasa todo muy rápido pero en el buen sentido.
-
A great installment in the 2nd Warriors series. I was never bored, the pacing was steady and interesting; although the ending had a very rushed feeling. Despite that, it much less predictable than many of the earlier books.
The continueing drama of the intertwined lives of Tigerstar and Firestar and their families is really well-played in this book; and the glimpses of StarClan and the shadowy forest are especially intriguing and satisfying for those of us interested in the Warriors' world.
Can't wait to start the 3rd series now!~ -
Summary:
Soon after the cats reached their new home by the lake, ThunderClan's medicine cat Leafpool received an ominous warning from StarClan: Before there is peace, blood will spill blood, and the lake will run red. As the Clan slowly recovers from a devastating badger attack, Leafpool can't help but wonder . . . do her prophetic dreams mean there are even worse dangers still in store for the warrior cats?
At the same time, shadows of the past continue to haunt the forest as some old friends struggle to find their place, others appear to be lost forever, and an old enemy finds a new way to resurface in a quest for dark revenge. A sinister path is unfolding, and the time is coming for certain warriors to make the choices that will determine their destiny . . . and the destiny of all the Clans.
Plot:
I actually really loved the plot in this Warrior book. Of course, I always do. It was thrilling, and I read it in 1 day. In almost every Warrior book, there's a huge war, and I was glad to see a change for this one. There wasn't technically a war, but they was was major fights that were with few cats. Although, some plot twists were obvious, but yet again, Hunter leaves me off with a major cliffhanger and I MUST start the next book ASAP.
Writing:
Erin Hunter is my second favorite writer of all time. She/they are such amazing writers, and I LOVE their writing style. It's so easy to read, but it's beautifully complex at the same time.
Characters:
There was so much character development in this novel, it was unbelievable. Sometimes, you can't trust ANY cat, and you have to wait for the novel to reveal the traitor. One thing that bothered me, was Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight started picking up their "relationship" like nothing had EVER happened. That bothered me, and if you've read this book, you would know what I'm talking about.
Overall & Recommendations:
This was such an amazing ending to The New Prophecy. I can't wait to start with The Power Of Three. Everything was perfect in this book, and barely anything bothered me. I would recommend starting the Warrior series in 5th grade. -
¡Que manera de terminar la serie! Me ha tenido pegada al libro todo el tiempo, y si no hubieran decidido seguir las traducciones, ya me veía con los libros en inglés y buscando los nombres de los gatos para identificarlos.
Me encantó. Me ha roto el corazón pensar que no volveré a ver a Látigo Gris, pero sabíamos que sucedería, el pobre lleva desaparecido toda la serie. Zarzoso me había estado dando mala espina desde sus reuniones con Estrella de Tigre, pero vaya, no me esperaba ese final en lo absoluto. Alcotán me ha dado una enorme sorpresa con sus intenciones. Y creo que es la primera vez en todo lo que va de los libros que de verdad temí por la vida de Estrella de Fuego. Me estaba infartando.
El secreto de Carbonilla me hizo chillar como rata y me hizo sumamente feliz, tanto como a Hokarasca Acuática y me pregunto qué sucederá con esa parte de la historia.. Y me intriga lo que sucederá en el futuro con Blimosa dado que sabemos Ala de Mariposa no cree en el Clan Estelar. Aún quedan tantos misterios y cosas por resolver, pero este libro me ha tenido pegada a los gatos. Me fascinó el final y muchos gatos terminaron sorprendiéndome más de lo esperado. Es una gran serie, ciertamente para un público joven, pero para uno que es amante de los gatos, no hay nada mejor. -
This is the Dutch translation of
Sunset
Well, I think that this book was the less of the series for me. It felt like a repeat of the problems between Firestar and Tigerstar all over again. I missed the connection that I had with the other books. In these I flew trough, but this one I needed to struggle through.
I still love Leafpool, but she needs to grow in her role as a medicin cat as she is so insecure. And I secretly want her to be together with Ravenpaw. -
I love how quickly I can fly through these books. Seriously, it only takes me 2 or so hours to finish one. Because of this, I can pretty much ignore the problems with them, and just enjoy.
My favorite thing about this one was definitely the disappearance of the Crow and Leaf drama. It had driven me crazy in the last book, so I'm super happy that its over, for now at least. I also loved seeing Cloudtail and Brightheart fix their relationship. Although I'm not a fan of the next arc, I'll be continuing my reread -
Wow this series is just too good. I like how there isn't really an age limit to this series, it does get a little gruesome but it's a book, there are no images but the ones your mind creates. So it's really good for all ages. I can't wait for the next series!
-
This book was probably my second favorite book in the New Prophecy. I am shocked that Hawkfrost died already. I cannot wait to start reading Power of Three!

I've finished this book for the THIRD time, and it was as good as ever. This just proves that good books don't get boring. I think the theme I got was about the balance of kinship (blood relations like your cousin, relative, sibling etc) and justice. In the story, one of the main characters, Brambleclaw, was conflicted because his power-hungry father and half-brother would do anything to make him the leader of his clan. While Brambleclaw was loyal to his clan and the present leader, he also didn't want to disobey his father or lose his brother's trust. Throughout the book, I can see him struggling to compromise between these two conflicting ideas in his head. At the end of the story, Brambleclaw chose to save his clan and therefore kill his half-brother (his father was already dead and visited him in dreams), but he was still haunted because of that and was terrified that he spilled his kin's blood. I feel like the author is trying to tell us that it is normal to have conflicting thoughts. However, in the end, you should chose to do what you think is right, even if it means betraying your relatives. Traditional Chinese belief oppose that, and the Chinese culture tells us to stand behind our family no matter the circumstances. Overall, I think this concept is very interesting and deserve deeper thoughts. I think the ultimate question is: What is more important, family or justice? Do any of y'all have an opinion? Because I am very conflicted and would love to hear any thoughts. :)

Goodreads review of Warriors-The new prophecy: Sunset by Erin Hunter
Review by: Naomi Willard
Sunset is probably one of the more intense warriors books, showing the aftermath of the badger attack and what happens to ThunderClan afterwards and which clashes with other clans happen. After the badgers are fought off by ThunderClan, Stormfur and Brook Where Small Fish Swim journey to ThunderClan and arrive immediately after the last badger has left. (Besides Midnight) Shocked at what has happened, they offer to help rebuild the camp and help to return ThunderClan to full strength. Graystripe has been gone for moons and even Firestar is giving up hope. ThunderClan needs a new deputy, whether Graystripe is alive or not.
I loved reading yet another of Erin Hunter’s masterpieces of a book and found myself tensing up at every battle and prophetic dream. I sort of wish that Firestar had waited longer for Graystripe to return because Graystripe is one of my favorite characters and it’s depressing when one of your favorite characters seems to be dead. (Hope you live Graystripe, we miss you.) I think Erin does a great job of describing every little detail, I felt almost like I WAS Brambleclaw at times, not just reading about him. I found it interesting to read about Leafpool especially, it’s cool to see what it’s like being a medicine cat. Overall, I loved this book! (Like pretty much every Warriors book ever.) -
3.5
This was nearly as compelling as the first series. The characters aren't compelling and they were all kind of stupid in this book they just made such dumb decisions when firestar in the last series was way more calculating with his thoughts. Even leafpool where all her decisions contradicted the personality we were introduced to in the beginning. The ending was kind of anticlimactic and It felt unresolved especially compared to the last series where it ended on a good, finishing note, but still compelled you to read on, this one just left me with more questions than answers.
I really liked the inclusion of the tribe cats and their different way of thinking and doing things, that was one of the most engaging things of this series. I hope we at some point find out why stormfur and brook left but I started the third series and it's like a completely new generation so I'm kind of confused as to how that's going to pan out (not to mention the kits are so annoying)
Either way if you're wanting to read warrior cats but you're unsure about the second series, it's not worth it. -
I forgot how flippin' šwęėt this book was. The ending was awesome and things were finally resolved. Def makes up for the plate of hot trash the Erins served us leading up to this point. Dramatic, handled well, and also Berrykit has all my love and affection. We must protect him at all costs. Also Tawnypelt is the only real one.
-
a great book to finish of the series, although Twilight in my opinion was the best.

Reseña
Y llegamos al final de esta nueva saga. Los cuatro clanes ya están totalmente instalados en su nuevo hogar, pero siguen habiendo rencillas que los separan, aunque también elementos que los unen.
El ansia de poder continúa presente en los hijos machos de Estrella de Tigre, Zarzoso y Alcotán. Aunque se nota que Alcotán piensa de forma mucho más parecida a su padre que nuestro querido Zarzoso.
Ahora Hojarasca Acuática es la curandera oficial del Clan del Trueno, y el Clan Estelar le dio la responsabilidad de velar por Blimosa, la aprendiz de curandera de Ala de Mariposa, del Clan del Río, y enseñarle todo sobre el Clan Estelar por la inhabilidad de su mentora al respecto.
Crítica
Me gustó mucho el desenlace de esta saga. Los personajes quedaron bien definidos, las distintas relaciones desarrolladas y los clanes asentados en su nuevo hogar.
Lograron superar los problemas que los aquejaban, y hacerse más fuertes en el proceso. Siempre hay algunos que salen perdiendo, pero probablemente en la próxima saga eso se subsane.
La narración no pierde nunca el ritmo, va hacia distintos focos, pasamos por distintos puntos de vista (todos los cuales están revestidos de importancia), lo que hace a esta saga una muy entretenida, fácil y rápida de leer. Aparte de ser apta para todo público, atraerá a grandes y a chicos.
La recomiendo en especial a los amantes de los animales, y a quienes gusten de las aventuras en general.
4 / 5 estrellas -
I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it was a good last book of the series to finsh the series and wrap it all up
I liked that tigerstar came into hawkfrost and brambleclaws dreams and their got to talk to each other
but i fell out of my seat whe hawkfrost leaded firestar into the fox trap and they got into a fight -
Creo....
Que le daré un 4.5 de 5.
Bueno, ¿qué puedo decir de este libro?
Acabo de terminarlo hace menos de 5 minutos y literal estoy boquiabierto.
Es un final muuuuuuy bueno para esta segunda saga, esas últimas páginas estuvieron llenas de adrenalina, y en general estoy feliz de que en esta última entrega la historia no haya decaído, se mantuvo con el mismo ritmo.
Los defectos que le veo a esta última entrega es que acabó abruptamente, las últimas páginas como ya dije son buenísimas, pero acaba muy de repente y uno se queda con cara de: "¿Qué? Le deben de faltar páginas a mi libro", pero no, ASÍ ACABA.
Como ya dije, un final muy bueno para una segunda saga que fue súper buena. Estoy satisfecho, aunque igual se haya repetido eso de los capítulos innecesarios.
Los extrañaré a todos... :'( -
Ultimately, this series is much weaker than the first, although still worth reading if you’re a fan of the series. Even when I was younger, I distinctly remember returning to these less than the other two series that were out at the time. This final book is one of the strongest in the series, but it's still lackluster, mainly because there’s no central conflict. The focus is much too fluid and feels like this series should’ve been two three-book arcs rather than a single six-book one. What I do love about this series is being able to explore more aspects of clan life, as well as seeing Hunter try out different perspectives to prove that she can write distinct characters. I just wish the focus was on one thing rather than multiple subplots that never feel entirely cohesive.
3.5/5 stars -
Wow, just wait until the prophesy is fulfilled. Before there is peace blood will spill blood and the lake will run red.
You can never go wrong with the Warriors series. :-) -
4.30 Stars
Better than most TNP's installments but features a bloody death. -
Not my favorite of the series. The first 2 had such a powerful start and the last 2 kind of dragged on :( love warriors still! Onto the 3rd arc.
-
I really liked this book!
