A 12-year old female friend of my 11-year old son loaned him the first "Warriors" book, and he loved it so much that he used his Christmas money to buy the next three. He has read like a maniac (which is cool, since he hasn't really cared that much about reading until just recently), and has loaned all his books to his homeschool buddies. They have started calling each other by the book characters' names, and have enjoyed the sharing of the books tremendously. He pestered me until I bought the rest of the series, and he is in book heaven. I highly recommend these books for boys or girls, or even for adults who like to read children's books.

I loved Warriors II Fire and Ice. It was an exciting book that was more exciting than the first. I enjoyed the new characters and the secrets between the Clans and Clan members.

Not too long after Fireheart and Graystripe become warriors they get their first apprentices. Cinderpaw is Fireheart's apprentice, young, and energetic. When Cinderpaw gets hurt so badly that she may never be an apprentice, both cats are heart broken. But was her injury an accident or did someone want her to get hurt?

There are separate loyalties in this book unlike Book One. Graystripe has fallen in love with a RiverClan cat. That is breaking the warrior code, which puts him and his clan on the line. Fireheart has caught up with his kitty pet sister and sees her when he can. Princess, his sister, gives him one of her own to be a member of ThunderClan. Will the young clan member obey by the warrior code or will the clan not accept him for who he is?

Cat lovers, good readers, and both girls and boys would like this book. It would be best if you read Warrior I Into the Wild, first because you will understand it and enjoy it even more.

Fireheart has just become a warrior.And Bluestar has just given graystripe and Fireheart thier first warrior mission.Thier job is to find windclan an bring them home.Also Fireheart is given his first apprentice.While Fireheart and Graystipe potrolled the river Graystripe fell into the icey cold water.A riverclan cat saved Graystripe. Ever sence then he's been disapearing.Graystripe and Fireheart's friendship are in danger.Rouge cats jumped into the camp. Thier was only one warrior 2 apprentices and1 meadacine cat.Fireheart yelled ATTACK and they sprang torwards their opponets......

Firepaw has finally earned his warrior name Fireheart. But that's not thing only thing that's suprising, Windclan has been missing for a while and all the other three clans try to help and find the clan. Truth is Shadowclan's old cruel leader had chased Windclan out of their own territory. Bluestar is sending Fireheart and his good friend Graystripe on an important mission to find the missing clan.

Is it true that Graystripe has fallen in love with a she-cat in Riverclan, but isn't that against the warrior code? Not to fall in love with a cat from a different clan of yours? Fireheart tries to keep Graystripe away from Silverstream so he doesn't get himself in big trouble. Fireheart also runs into a kitty pet that he has known for his whole life. With bringing a new little bundle to the clan, Thunderclan doesn't accept this new commer. They start to lose trust in Fireheart. Fireheart tries to keep close with his clan and also trying to get his best friend out of trouble. Can he do it all at once, or is he going to lose a friendship between Graystripe while his clan could never trust him again?

I have 2 boys, age 10 and 5. I read this book to the younger one, who was thrilled. His older brother always made a point to be on hand to listen, as I read. I loved it just as much as they did (maybe more!). Now, we want to read the rest of the series the same way!

I have read both Warriors #1 & #2, and decided to write a review on both, so here it is for Fire and Ice. I stayed up all night reading this book! It is absolutely delicious! I am a great fan of animal-related books such as this novel and it is fantastic. I really felt as though I was there with the cats and the story is layered with truth, lies, secrets, and crusted with some betrayal. I will admit, you must read Into the Forest to really understand Fire and Ice, but they are both worth the read!

I've just finished this second book in the Warriors series, and it really kept me on the edge of my seat with the battles and the intrigue! I have really enjoyed the series so far, and find it particularly enjoyable that the cats seem to act like cats (albeit talking cats!) and not just like little furry people.

The one thing that seemed out of phase with feline character was the "romance" they had going in this book. The "Romeo and Juliet" theme might have been interesting, but doesn't seem to work with cats, since I can't imagine cats bonding to each other the way wolves or swans do. If you can keep your suspension of disbelief going through it, you will enjoy this book.

I am over 30, but I still enjoy a god fantasy novel!

Fireheart has now become a true ThunderClan warrior; and Bluestar assigns him a special mission. Brokenstar had previously driven WindClan into exile and took over their hunting grounds for ShadowClan, clearly breaking the warrior code. It's up to Fireheart and his best friend Graystripe to bring WindClan home now that Brokenstar had been driven out. In this journey he finds WindClan under a tunnel in a thunderpath. Tallstar, WindClan's leader, is grateful, and Fireheart and Graystripe take them home. Soon after, Fireheart and Graystripe are taking their apprentices, Cinderpaw and Brackenpaw out on a border patrol. Graystripe saw a mouse scuffle across the river on RiverClan territory, and dared to cross the frozen river. The ice cracked, and Graystripe fell through and nearly drowned until a pretty silver RiverClan she-cat named Silverstream saved him from the deathly torrent of water. Graystripe and Silverstream eventually fall in love, and Fireheart doesn't like how Graystripe is neglecting Brackenpaw's training, and breaking the warrior code just to see this RiverClan cat. Even worse; Silverstream soon discovers she is expecting kits. Fireheart is furious with Graystripe, and their friendship begins to crumble. Will their once-close friendship ever be recovered?

Overall, I have really enjoyed this book. It's even a great book the second time you read it! My favorite part was when Fireheart and Graystripe went out to bring WindClan back from exile. It was exciting, and it kept me reading all night. It even gave me chills when Graystripe fell through the ice!! I wasn't sure if he was going to live or not!

Cat and fantasy lovers would really enjoy this book. It's a book for guys and girls, and I know this because guys have joined my Warriors proboards website. This book series is fun and exciting, and it's the only book series I've been able to read the books under two days!

If you're looking for a page-turning well-written and enjoyable fantasy that includes well drawn individual personalities, vivid and believable environmental description and lots of action, you will love this series.

After his vigil, Fireheart is back in the action as a full-fledged Thunderclan warrior. Along with that comes new responsibilities and danger. After getting an apprentice, the stubborn Cinderpaw, Fireheart meets his kittypet sister, Princess, who is about to have a kit. His best friend, Graystripe is saved from a rushing river by a Riverclan she-cat which eventually forms love. After escorting the Windclan cats back to their territory when they were driven out by the Shadowclan cats, the other clans suspect that the Thunderclan is growing weak. Fireheart, angry, seeks to prove that they are not softening up, but just being amiable. With Bluestar ill and with a single life left, Thunderclan begins to doubt their strength. Can Fireheart help inspire them? Find out in this epic story.
