Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

The popular Warriors fictional empire continues unabated, with the Power of Three series now beginning after the end of the New Prophecy series. It takes more than four pages to list the clans, their members, and various allegiances in Hunter's remarkably complex fictional world, but this tale focuses on three kits—Hollypaw, Jaypaw and Lionpaw, offspring of two strong members of the Thunderclan. Each kit has a special strength or talent (and in one case, a disability), and each must struggle to find and fufill its destiny. As in previous books, personal tensions are juxtaposed against dangers from the outside. Plenty of action and solid characterizations make this an enticing choice for fans of the long-running enterprise. Cooper, Ilene

5.0 out of 5 stars the Warriors come roaring back, April 26, 2007

By	Melanie Edwards "book worm" (Commerce, MI) - See all my reviews

though i loved The New Prophecy, i had to say that the original flare of the novels died down in Twilight. but now, Hunter has gone back to her original roots and produce The Sight, the first book in the new series that brings back the old charm of the original Warriors books. it has been a few moons since the events of Sunset and the clans have finally begun to settle in there new lake home. Jaykit, Hollykit, and Lionkit all have some pretty big paws to fill. they are the grandchildren of the legendary Thunderclan leader Firestar and the offspring of Brambleclaw and Squirrleflight. it is only a matter of time until they become full fledged apprentices. the interesting thing is, each one of the kits seem to possess a strange power that manifests itself diffrently in each kit and it seems these powers will be put to the test. unbenoust to them, a dark force is stirring. a threat aimed against those not clan-born but what? what is this new evil that threatens the forest? it is only a matter of time until it strikes. Hunter wastes no time in getting us familier with the new characters and even in the first couple of chapters throws in some surprises and delectible conflicts. it truley is a rebirth of the series and the end only promises more to come. a great first entry into a already great series, a must for all Warrior fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW! , May 13, 2007

By	Sasha Cullen (USA) - See all my reviews

I think this was one Erin's best books. Here is how it goes Jaypaw, Lionpaw and Hollypaw are the children of Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight niece and nephews to Leafpool and grandchildren to Firestar and Sandstorm and Tigerstar and Goldenflower. Jaypaw, Hollypaw and Lionpaw have powers no other cats before them have had. Hollypaw becomes a medicine cat apprentice but she soon learns she would rather be a regular apprentice and like Lionpaw so Jaypaw becomes the medicine apprentice. Jaypaw is grumpy all the time because he is blind and he thinks cats thinks he can not be good his clan like that. There is hint in this book that Lionpaw and Heaterpaw a windclan apprentice are in love. This book is thrilling and a must read

5.0 out of 5 stars Magnificent New Series--SPOILER ALERT, May 13, 2007

A Kid's Review

Hollypaw, Jaypaw, and Lionpaw come out of the strong legacy of Squirrelflight and Brambleclaw's children. It is interesting to follow the main character's of the first series of warriors grandchildren around in the new territory. Firestar, the noble sleek ruler of ThunderClan, once a mere kittypet, is the grandfather of the three apprentices. Yet the don't have only good in their blood. Brambleclaw's father was Tigerstar, the ambitious traitor who last resided in ShadowClan.

Jaypaw is a blind gray tom with feather blue eyes, who thinks he is worthless. When Brightheart, a sweet, but one-eyed she-cat is appointed his mentor for a warrior, he thinks even lower of himself. He realizes he can see other cats in their dreams. Then he learns his destiny is to be a medicine cat. He becomes Leafpool's apprentice as a medicine cat.

Hollypaw is a bright black she cat with green eyes. She origionally wants to be a medicine cat but she realizes that she is not cut out to do so, but is fantastic at battling and fight moves. She has not shown any affection to any cats, so readers have no clue on any future mates.

Lionpaw is a ginger tom with amber eyes like his father and Tigerstar. He is bright. Lionpaw is a little conceited at some point, but all in all he is pretty nice.

This new edition to the warriors series is amazing and something all fans should look foward to reading more of.
