Book Description

Age Level: 10 and up | Grade Level: 5 and up | Series: Warriors: Omen of the Stars

After the sharp-eyed Jay and the roaring Lion, peace will come on Dove's gentle wing.

The deadly battle between ThunderClan and ShadowClan is over, but the aftermath still echoes around all four Clans. As Dovepaw grapples with the knowledge that there are realms—and cats—her senses cannot reach, Jayfeather and Lionblaze are determined to figure out how StarClan could have allowed this fight to happen. Jayfeather soon finds the answer in the darkest of places, and he and Lionblaze prepare to do whatever they can to staunch the flow of evil into ThunderClan.

The ties that bind the Clans are slowly breaking in the face of the greatest threat that the warriors—and the warrior code—have ever known. As leaf-bare closes its grip upon the territories, Jayfeather, Lionblaze, and Dovepaw realize just how close the battle is, and how far they are from being able to succeed. And before the prey can run again, one more cat will be lost to the fight.

Night Whispers is definitely one of the greatest Warriors books yet.
It is also the scariest one yet.
*SPOILER ALERt*
The growing drama of the schemes of the dark forest combined with the increasing tension between Ivypaw and Dovepaw as Dovepaw finally discovers that Ivypaw has been trained by Dark Forest warriors and the hatred between ThunderClan and ShadowClan after the battle which claimed the life of the ShadowClan deputy and one of Firestar's lives.

I especially liked that Erin Hunter finally tells the story from another Clan's point of view: Flametail, the ShadowClan medicine-cat apprentice.
Also, we see the beginning of the first relationship inside the clan since Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight. Lionclaw and Cinderheart (a happy continuation for the reincarnation of the former medicine cat Cinderpelt).
And, a returning pattern, Dovepaw meets a cat from a different clan and... If you read the previous books you know how it is.

Overall it is a great book which I thoroughly enjoyed.

Never mind if you are an adult, if you are a cat lover this book - and every other one in the Warriors Series - is for you. The plot is wonderful and the cats are so real that you can look at your own cats and find a clan member who fits each and everyone. Maybe the thing I love best is the added insight into my cats. It is impossible to put the book down and too long a wait for the next book in the series. As you read, you come to know the cats and they all become very real, you are there with them and cheering them on. You cry if one of them dies, worry over newborn kits, share the highjinks of the 'paws' and send prayers with the warriors.

5.0 out of 5 stars Warriors book series is back in action!!, December 29, 2010

This review is from: Warriors: Omen of the Stars #3: Night Whispers (Hardcover)

Night Whispers by Erin Hunter is the 3rd book in the Omen of the Stars subseries,and the 24th book in the Warriors series overall,and I am very happy to report,this book is getting back to the heart of the Warriors series. I have been following and reading each Warriors book since the 1st came out years ago. The first two series were amazing,while the 3rd was quite lacking,so i was quite skeptical when Omen of the Stars was released. i was falling out of love with the cats. Thankfully,Omen of the Stars Book 1 surprised me and was better than any in the Power of Three. Then the second came,also better than any in power of three. So i was cautiosly optimisitc about Night Whispers. After reading it,I can now say Warriors is back! The book wastes no time in starting off with high intensity drama. Ending moments after Fading Echoes,tensions are high between the clans. Specifically ShadowClan and ThunderClan. The 3 young cats,Lionblaze,Jayfeather,and Dovepaw of Thunderclan seek to find out more about their strange destiny in a prophecy told years ago to Firestar,leader of Thunderclan. One thing I greatly enjoyed about Night Whispers,is the fact that stuff is actually starting to happen. The 3 cats destinys are beginning to be shown and given hints about. I am already formulating theories about what will happen and for once in a book series,i have literally no clue what will happen. i am very excited to see what will happen. There are many ominous signs of destruction being presented to all 4 clans as the Dark Forest warriors(cats who betrayed their clans that died)start preparing for battle. It's next to impossible to put this book down with all the thoughts that fly through your head about what might happen. The past 8 books were vague and never really revealed ANYTHING about the prophecy,but this book starts to throw hints at us. ANother thing i enjoyed was something most fans,me included, have been wanting. A cat's perspective outside of Thunderclan(besides Stormfur and Feathertail in series 2). The cat is ShadowClan's medicine cat,Flametail who i came to think was a great character. It was nice to see for once what cats out of Thunderclan thought about them. Flametail has a hard journey and I will not spoil anything but this adventure is exicting to say the least. The scenes are still vivid and detailed,the action is fast and brutal,and the characters are likeable and realistic(or s realistic as talking cats can be). I eagerly look foward to Book 4 of Omens of the Stars. Night Whispers showed how much punch the Warriors series can still pack
