Moonrise (Warriors: The New Prophecy, #2) Reviews
-
The six cats chosen from the four wild Clans of the forest--ThunderClan, ShadowClan,RiverClan and WindClan--are finally on their way back home!
In the first book of the New Prophecy, Midnight, the new warrior Bramleclaw gets a disturbing dream from StarClan telling him to join up with three other cats and "listen to what midnight tells you."
They travel to the Sun-Drown-Place (the sea) and find "midnight".
Midnight the BADGER!
She gives them a warning that they must follow, or it will mean the quick death of every cat in every clan!
So now, in the second book of the series, the cats are on their way home again, but this time with a heavier burden on their shoulders than before.
Halfway home, they encounter a fierce mountain Tribe--the Tribe of Rushing Water, and they have a prophecy of their own:
"A silver cat will come to save us all."
Lucky for them, but unlcuky for the Clan cats--Stormfur is a silver cat, and the Tribe insists on keeping him prisoner until he can defeat Sharptooth, a evil mountain lion! Will rescue Stormfur?
Meanwhile, in the forest waaaaay back home, medicine cat apprentice Leafpool is seeing the destruction of all the clans around her. Then she gets kiddnapped by Twolegs!
If you want to find out what happens, read this book! It doesn't matter if you are already a Warroir fan, or never heard of this book before, you WILL LOVE IT!
I really fell in love with this book beucase it NEVER got slow and it was full of action! Yippeee!! -
2017 reread
Me: Maybe Feathertail won't die this time.
Feathertail: *dies tragically*
Me: *looks into the camera* -
I love the drama that is in this series! Don't get me wrong there was plenty of drama with Firestars adventures.... But Squirrelflight is quickly becoming one of my favorite characters. Her personality if funny, but she is quick tempered with a retort when needed. She's a lot like me. :-)
I am rewriting this review because the old one was pathetic. I like how the Erins are flip flopping between characters in the rest of their series. It adds a different perspective to the warriors world. :-)
This book has been added to my favorites shelf because of the reuniting scene when Squirrelflight and her friends come back to the clans. This scene is one of my favorites of all time. I still think about it sometimes. :-)
(Review revised on June 4, 2011.) -
I loved this series when I was younger, so I’ve been enjoying going back and reading through them again. This set definitely isn’t my favorite though, I’ve found that quite a few of the characters irritate me, and I find the plot to be quite lacking in this one especially. Still love this series though!
-
A whole lot of stuff happened in this book, but Stormfur being one of the MCs really decreased my rating! I definitely think I'm too old to fully appreciate this book, and even the nostalgia of years ago can't redeem them. They'll always stay favourites, but I can see they have flaws. Mostly flaws in their emotions and their insta-love :p Can't wait to get to new stories I haven't read before.

The 6 cats are on their way to fullfill the phrophecy as explained in the previous book. They discover that Midnight isn't what they thought it was and besides that they meet a new tribe that is in great danger. Danger is lurking ahead, a sacrifice or more has to be made and though decisions has to be taken. This is another book in the Warrior Cats - series, but for now it's my least favorit. Allthough it reads well, it's a bit repetitive and ongoing. There were a few tense moments, but still...I hope the next book will be a bit better.
-
4.5 stars!
I really appreciated having this book largely take place from Feathertail and Stormfur's perspectives. We rarely get narrators from outside of Thunderclan, so this was a nice treat. I also still enjoy the switching from the perspectives of the cats on the journey to the ones back in the forest. That being said, I do wish that the romantic Crowpaw/Feathertail relationship didn't exist. I don't think it adds much to the story and it blossoms way too quickly to feel authentic. -
Cada vez que comienzo un libro de estas sagas me pasa lo mismo. Me atrapan de inmediato y me rompen el morado corazón. Siguiendo la narrativa de su antecesor, la historia es contada a dos voces y en dos lugares distintos. El campamento del clan del trueno que la está pasando muy mal a causa de los dos patas y unas cuevas en las montañas, dónde habita una tribu de gatos distinta pero con muchas cosas en común con los clanes que ya conocemos. Este libro está lleno de momentos de tensión, realmente estás esperando la siguiente catástrofe y aunque sabes que no acabará bien, nada te prepara para lo que sucede.
En este libro vemos a Estrella de Fuego como un líder que se siente abandonado por el clan estelar, a todos los gatos pasando hambre y enfermedad. Incluso algunos han desaparecido (independiente de los gatos que partieron en busca de Medianoche en el libro anterior) y al descubrir la verdad respecta eso crece la incertidumbre al querer saber que más sucederá. Pero a la vez no u.u -
I loved this series as a child and still do now. I'm just re-reading for fun!
-
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. But it seems, even though I've read them before, I cannot remember it at all. It was still fun to read though, as it was like I was reading it for the first time again.
This one was certainly different - the introduction of a new group of cats The Tribe of Rushing Water. They are desperate but they're not dangerous cats, they just want rid of Sharptooth. And I could have sworn Brook or some other tribe cat went back with them because Stormfur was starting to fall in love with her.
I can't help think Feathertail's death was an answer for hers and Crowpaw's love because they wouldn't be able to see each other once they went home (to their new home, not the one they are in throughout the first series). All the same, and it was sad. But it was bad how they didn't even look or think about the other cats fur, they just automatically took Stormfur as the cat who was going to save them. I'm pretty sure Feathertail and the others would know what colour their own fur is.
What's good and makes you press on is that there's cliffhangers at the end of nearly every chapter, and it's crucial how the story jumps from different cats pov's (especially adding in Stormfurs).
I can't help feeling that the dream that Stormfur got from his mother Silverstream, was a really weak storyline to have, to make him go back to the tribe. I mean they wasted all that time trying to get away and when he gets a dream from StarClan, he admits that they may need him and go back. I supposed there wouldn't have been much of a storyline if that just had happened.
I supposed there wouldn't have been much of a storyline if StarClan had just told all the cats what would happen to the forest, instead of making 4 (turned out to be 6) walk miles to talking to a badger; a cats natural enemy, near the sea. Still, they are great books and I'm sure every book or movie has got a plot that could easily be turned in to 2 pages or something.
If the new tribe hadn't of been introduced I'm pretty sure this book, and only this one, would have been boring. They were already on a mission when they came in to another one, and now it's time to go home. I am dying to read the next book because I really cannot remember what happens even though I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not.
I feel the characters are really hard to remember, I still probably could not name all the cats who went on the journey. Stormfur, Squirrelpaw, Tawnypaw, Bramblepaw, Feathertail and Crowpaw. Well, maybe I can (and I didn't even need to look at the book), but yeah. The introduction of the new kittypets was interesting, I wonder where they will all end up. I'm dying to hear about Sasha and what she has to say as well, being cooped up where Leafpaw, Mistyfoot, Cloudtail and Brightheart are all being kept. At least Sorreltail will be able to go back and tell Firestar what happened, as long as she wasn't caught (which I don't think she was because she would be in the same place as Leafpaw, unless there are more of the cages in another room or something).
I love all the different cats languages and it's fun picking up what they're saying. I've noticed how the kittypets use language like humans do in real life, they know what cages are even though there's yet to be a group of cats who actually know the word "human". They know their own species so why not ours?
Anyway, I can't think of much else to write because it was mainly about travelling but I must say that they keep me going. -
The first 2/3 of this one was just as slow as the first book was, but thankfully around the 200 page mark it picked up and brought back the magic of the series that I fell in love with - in all of its action and heartbreaking brutality! I'm so glad, too, because I was starting to wonder if maybe the second series wasn't for me and that maybe I was falling out of love with the series. The last 100 pages reminded me why I fell in love in the first place!
The first book may have been on the boring side, but I confess it lulled me into a false sense of security, haha. Erin reminded me how harsh she can be in this one. Once again we see the hardship of the cats' lives in the wild - starvation, sickness, predators, humans, and conflict with other Clans. The threat of the Twolegs (humans) added a sense of direness to the story that I know we'll see more of. I can't wait to see how things get resolved! -
Als de katten terug naar huis gaan, moeten ze door de bergen. Daar komen ze in contact met een andere groep katten, die hen eerst vriendelijk behandelen, maar als ze verder willen trekken, laten deze bergkatten hen niet gaan. Ze worden namelijk al heel lang geteisterd door een bergleeuw, en ook zij hebben een profetie gekregen, waarin hun beloofd werd dat een zilvergrijze kat hen zal redden. Ze zijn er van overtuigd dat Stormvacht hun redder is. Dus onze reislustige vrienden moeten weer heel wat gevaren doorstaan, en dat terwijl ze zo dringend naar huis moeten, omdat hun thuisclans ook een groot gevaar onder ogen moeten zien.
De verhoudingen tussen de katten zijn fijn uitgewerkt. Hoewel ze nog zich nog wel allemaal verbonden voelen met hun eigen clan, wordt de saamhorigheid onder de leden van de verschillende clans in het reisgezelschap almaar groter. Ze beginnen te beseffen dat clangrenzen en regels kunnen verbroken worden in het licht van het grotere geheel. En ik denk dat ze met deze wetenschap en ervaringen hun clans zullen moeten overtuigen om samen te werken, eens ze terug thuis zijn.
Ik lees deze serie graag, en eigenlijk ga ik zo op in het verhaal, dat ik er niet erg op let of dat het me totaal niet stoort als er weer eens overdreven wordt met bepaalde eigenschappen van sommige katten. En dus vond ik dit ook weer een heel goed boek. -

Este segundo libro me ha gustado más, ya que podemos ver como la travesía de nuestros gatos no es todo camino de rosas, se van encontrando con peligros y adversidades que tendrán que aprender a superar juntos, la más curiosa es cuando aparece un nueva profecía de una tribu de las montañas, donde uno de los gatos tendrá que afrontar su destino. -
De katten zijn op de terugweg van hun reis naar Middernacht. Onderweg sluiten ze tijdelijk aan bij wilde katten. Ze spreken net een andere taal, maar ze kunnen elkaar goed verstaan. De wilde katten wonen op de rotsen in de bergen, ze wonen in een grote achter een waterval. Zij zien Stormvacht als hun redder. Maar waarvoor eigenlijk? Dat wordt niet meteen duidelijk voor de katten uit het woud.
In het woud gaat het ook niet goed, alle clans hebben minder prooi en dat terwijl het nog bladkaal moet worden. Loofpoot gaat op onderzoek uit, ontdekt dingen en twijfelt of ze haar vader Vuurster moet inlichten. Op het moment dat er katten verdwijnen op de plek waar tweebenen het bos vernietigen, gaan de katten met Vuurster op zoek naar de verdwenen katten. Loofpoot weet het bijna, maar dan…. -
Mini Review: So I'm trying to decide if this book was better or worse than the previous... I'm not really a fan of Stormfur. He did get better near the end, but his personality is just very bland and sort of a knock off of Brambleclaw's. However, I did love the whole Tribe cat plot, and I'm sad because like Stormfur and Brook are sort of amazing (But not amazing enough for me to tell you in full caps like I do for heartbreaking romances). Anywho, I think the Tribe cats saved it for me. I vaguely remember the Tribe when I read this before, but this refreshed my memory and made me like them even more.

This is crap. I hate these characters so freaking much! I just..... Yeah, I just hate them! I miss firestars bravery. I miss Greystripe's snarky sidekick role. I miss dustplet & sandstorm picking on Firestar then slowly growing to like him. I miss yellowfang.
Here, in this 2nd series I have to deal with a painful collection of characters who make me want to rip my hair out & put a bullet in my head. (Not really, but it's still pretty bad.)
Warning! This will be long, ranting, & possibly full of spoilers. Don't read if you haven't read yet, and don't bash my opinions!
so! "moonrise " book 2 of "warriors: the new prohecy."
It sucked. But before I get in to just why I though it sucked, let me tell you a few things I enjoyed about this novel. The length is good. Nice size for kids. The idea is solid. And epic quest with the stakes higher than ever before. In the 1st series it was just Simply war the clans, mostly fueled by Tigerstar's insane need for dominance over all the clans. Now it's not just tha. It's tensions between the clans PLUS all these new outside threats. Poisoned food, twolegs destroying the forest, cats going missing. It's good. It has decent pacing here too. Much better than book 1. Plus we are shown a band new culture, a tribe of strange cats, so very different from our beloved clans. There are great themes of loyalty, courage, and destiny. Leafpaw is ok, not great. But she's sweet & caring & just a little naive. She tolerable. The adventures are good, sharptooth was pretty cool.
I also have great memories of these books from my childhood. I used to pretend I was a clan cat. :) I wanted to be in Riverclan.
These few things saved it from only 1 star.
You know, With all that stuff, "moonrise" and the rest of the series should be very entertaining for me.
But it's not. It's painful & boring. Honestly, I skimmed through the last half of it, struggling to finish. & why? Why did I hate this so damned much?
The characters! The fucking characters!!!!!!! They make or break a book, and this cast doesn't just break it.
They shattered it into little tiny bite sized bits than exploded it with a million atom bombs. Then gathered up all the dust & debris from that explosion & blew it up again with a blast from the death star.
Now, I addressed my 3 most despised characters in the last book. Squirrelpaw, Brambleclaw, & Crowpaw.
Squirrelpaw is a bitch 4 no reason. Brambleclaw is to perfect & the leader of the chosen cats for no reason. & Crowpaw is also a bitch for no freaking reason!
& now stormfur has joined the ranks. See, I kinda liked him at first. He was strong & loyal. But then I got inside the bastard's head. His flaw? He's a fucking hypocrite! See he bitches at his sister for falling for crow paw, yes? (Don't understand what that sweet cat sees in him. Their personalities just don't mix.) well he has no fucking right to do so when with in the 1st few chapters it's established that he has a crush on Squirrelpaw. This isn't so bad, but he kept going on about her. Saying just how great she is. All pretty & strong & how any cat would be luck to have her. No! She's a bitch. A stuck up bitch! He can't keep going on like that then turn right around & tell off Feathertail!
Then he meets brook. A cat from a tribe that lives in the mountains. He falls in insta love with this cat & starts really embracing their ways. Then acts all offended when his friends question his loyalty to the clans. He also talks about how difficult it is being half clan! acting like he just wants to serve riverclan & protect his beloved sister. Then he goes & chose to go back & help the crazy cats who tried to keep him hostage. Endangering all his friends (the cats who hold the fate of their friends & families in their paws) lives in the process.
He's just awful. I wanted to jump in the pages & kick some sense in him!
Insta love to.... He knew brook for like 5 days. Why was he so broken hearted when she & all her tribe members showed their true colors? He barely knew them!
Feathertail too. She's sweet yeah, but flat as cardboard. I couldn't feel bad when she bite the dust. (Honestly, I think she was just killed off so we wouldn't have to deal with all the forbidden love stuff until much later in the series.)
Moth wing..... I can't like a character who is that deliberately stupid, always choosing 2 betray her clan even after she's told what she's doing is against the code.
Look, I could go on, but I don't see much point. Most of the characters are just plain terrible! I keep hoping that maybe the books will be as fun as I remember from my childhood but so far "the new prophecy" has seriously let me down. & I have to get through them all because I promised my sister & myself that I'd re read them all, so I'll keep reading. At least I'll get to right some long ranting reviews out of it. (glad she doesn't read my reviews, because she loves Erin hunters books.)
Recommended for warriors fans who want to read every single book, but that's about it. -
It was amazing except for when feathertail died that bit I did not like at all and I am super sad about it but you get used to it because like almost every character dies so yeah but it was amazing and I loved it
-
Leafpool gets very annoying constantly wittering about whether to tell her father about where the questing cats have gone. Someone stole Greystripe, one of the best characters and it don't look like he's coming back. This volume left me proper grumpy and out of sorts - and the the Tribe of Rushing Water had their own concept of xenophobia. Tsk!
-
The more I progress through this second Warriors arc, the more I feel like The New Prophecy is the Legend of Korra to The Prophecies Begin’s The Last Airbender. Make of that what you will. Also, I forgot that the cats got weirdly horny for each other this early in the series.
-
>Originally read around January or February 2011.
> Reread April 12 ~ 14, 2014
The New Prophecy is my least favorite Warriors installment, but it's not bad, and I want to reread them all in order. -
Had some dull moments, but the switching perspectives are still refreshing and interesting. The exciting bits were just epic!
-
I forgot how devastating the last twenty pages are.
-
4.8⭐️
-
they literally killed off my favorite character 💔
-
The beginning definitely shocked me. If Midnight promised to expand on the Warriors world Moonrise promises to crack it entirely open and rearrange it.
Plot 4.5/5★
The plot of Moonrisepicks up directly after the events of Midnight. Admittedly, the first two chapters are shocking, but from then on it starts to slow down a bit, with very little happening that will excite the reader. However, the plot really picks up after the midpoint of this book, so much so that it even feels like a fever dream. It picks up so much that it continuously builds on itself, all the way until the very final chapter, making moonrise a definite improvement over Midnight.
Style 5/5★
Since there has been no major changes in Erin Hunter's style since Midnight I feel confident giving this the same five star rating. The books of Warrior Cats, and particular The New Prophecy are filled with vivid imagery that set them apart from other middle grade reads.
Characters 4/5★
The characters of Moonrise are largely the same as those of Midnight. However, we grow closer to them the longer we follow their journeys and interactions. Already I find myself invested in the relationships of two of the characters, and have been thoroughly shocked by some of the events that involved others. I'm excited (and scared) to see what may happen to the characters in the next few books.
Overall 4.5/5★
Moonrise definitely builds on everything Midnight did right, and continues to dish out new places, characters, and events. However, the answers we truly seek do not come within this book, but we are nearing them. I'm excited to see how Dawn continues the Warriors adventure. -
Still love this second season a lot more than the first one.
I lthought the mix of povs between the traveling cats and the cats back home was well done. -
Not my favorite Warriors book- takes awhile to develop throughout and I might even add is 'boring' at times. The ending involving Feathertail's brave act was probably the one of the main plots of it. I didn't really care for the relationship between the six (6) chosen cats and the Tribe cats- it was kind of annoying and didn't appease me. Oh well, it's a Warriors book- I love them all!
I think my favorite part of this book is seeing Leafpaw come of age. She seems to be really maturing before our eyes and is seeing the destruction of the forest firsthand. The events happening in the forest- disappearing cats, the tractors and construction, and the uneasiness provide a fun and intriguing storyline to follow.
I'll be honest- this book 'Moonrise,' was my least favorite Warriors book growing up... as well as 'The New Prophecy' arc in general- let's see how books 3-6 are and if I will still hold the same beliefs I had about 10 years ago when I first read this series. -
Rating: 8 out of 10
This was better than the first book in the arc on so many levels. I enjoyed that it was from the perspective of a Riverclan cat and especially because it was Feathertail. Feathertail was such a sweet and caring cat and her relationship with her brother was really special. :)
“From now on, wherever you walk, I will walk with you. . . ”
The tribe's culture was very interesting to learn about, especially because they were the ancestors of cats such as Gray wing, Turtle tail, Clear sky (the idiot cat), etc. They added so much to the story.
“I know my name's Squirrelpaw, but I never thought I'd wish that I WAS a squirrel!”
Classic Squirrelflight humor ;)
I found it really sad when Feathertail died. :( This nearly made me cry! (hey, I said NEARLY) After Feathertail died, I found Crowfeather's character quite depressing.
I enjoyed the writing as always, but the plot could've been a bit faster. It wasn't as bad as Midnight, but it was still quite slow.
Overall, a good read. This definitely makes me excited for the rest of the arc! -
3.5
Stormfur talks about Brambleclaw and Squirrelpaw "have gotten so close" but I haven't seen that. At no point do I feel like she is anycat different from when they left (get it? Lol) or that they act any differently towards each other.
I did enjoy the Tribe and all the character growth that came with it. I also loved the redemption arc involved for both cats.
Oh man, the "scene" was depressing. You'll know when you get there. Scary and exciting!
I feel like the event with Dappletail was unnecessary and just a way to not have to deal with it anymore. Disappointing to say the least.
I realize this is supposed to be a kids book, but I wish they would make the plot twists a little less obvious. I felt like my hand was held through every single one of them and was never left to figure it out on my own and I was never surprised by anything that happened.
I enjoyed it overall though. It was a cute little journey they went on. Much hardship. Great loss. I look forward to the rest of the series.
