Shattered Sky: Warriors: A Vision of Shadows, Book 3

I've been reading these books since Into the Wild published. I was disappointed with how the last two series went. The living-dead cats from Hell that walk on Earth as though they never died and killed warriors in their sleep Freddie-style wasn't flying well with me. It was too far-fetched even with the book being about talking cats. I was so disappointed I wrote a review on The Last Hope stating I wouldn't read this series unless they brought back the realism the Erin Hunters had in the first two series.And here I am, three books into A Vision of Shadows and this is by far my favorite series.Not only have they introduced characters with complex personalities which we can relate to but the writing has changed. From throwing in filler dog chases and fox fights scenes to actually continuing the plot as it started. Uninterrupted by the same chase I've read in the other books, I can read without feeling like I need to skip pages to get back to the plot. I'm actually nervous I might skip over something if I do that with this series. It's a fantastic read for teens and adults. It is very dark. It makes The Darkest Hour look soft. If you have younger children I suggest reading the books first yourself. This way you won't get caught off guard by your child asking questions on how the cats in the book are being killed or why.*My review for the book is done but for those who like spoilers or reviews of the story line continue reading*Again, warning, spoilers. I honestly thought Darktail was related to Scourge somehow. It seemed like the story was leaning that way with his blood obsession and passive-aggressive controlling behaviors. The change in the story with Onestar admitting his past and connection to Darktail was a plot twist I never saw coming. I was hoping we would get the chance to see him lighten up a bit. Can't wait to read the next book.

Wow. Just wowI love Erin Hunter's writing. Its so unique and different from other writers. I mean the cliffhanger in this book makes you think "well that was a good end to the series." then you realize "Wait that was only the third book!" I mean this book is just the beginning! And now it's like the first book!(did that sound weird? It sounded better in my head.)Ok. Now I'm going to get into detail. WARNING if you did not read this book lol I away NOW!!!!!Ok. So I liked the book a lot! I mean I stopped reading this so I could read Wings of Fire (also by tui t Sutherland; one of the authors of Erin Hunter's group)so I come back not remembering anything at all and all of a sudden the clans start battling the rogues in the shadowclan camp!!!!Skyclan came back from the dead! I mean it was inevitable that it would happen but you think of skyclan as old fairy tale legends really.So now this is going to be a spoiler. It's my least favorite part of the book needletail probably died 😫😫😫😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

My daughter enjoys the Warriors series. The book I order was from a public library. Maybe it was stolen or discarded, but it was in very good condition. No paper ears, no writing on it. Really good condition. Plus its hardcover. (I love hardcover books) Shipping was fast.

My daughters love these books. They’ve read the entire series and are now highly distraught to find themselves with no more Warriors books to read. One daughter literally screamed when she realized we couldn’t order the next book off Amazon because it wasn’t written yet. I understand “Erin Hunter” is a pseudonym for a group of writers. If there are so many of you, please write faster and end my daughters’ anguish. ;) Also, keep up the good work!

The book came in good condition but the story is very lacking. It was a struggle to get through. Reading the summary you would think that this would be thrilling and amazing to read, however it is not. All the characters act the same and are bland making it hard to care about them at all. The characters we love from the previous series can be barely seen in the background and barely say a sentence. I was hoping alderheart would be more in the spot light and not twig and violet. I hope I can convince myself to finish the next one.

Another good Warrior cat tale in tradition with the previous books. Though originally written for children or YA audience, I believe anyone who loves cats, and fantasy like I do, will enjoy all of these books.

I never would have dreamed that I'd still be as taken with the Warrior cat clans through a sixth story arc, but it's happening, and this phase of the overall story is blessed with characters I can't help but care for, who grow and change as the result of a misfortunate rebellion comes to pass...and the young cats involved in it face choices that will affect more than just themselves or their own Clans.

(Spoiler alert)I am a huge Warriors fan. I have been reading them for many years, and I have read every single one. This book is amazing, probably one of the best Warriors books yet. It was quite a shock to learn that Darktail is Onestar's son, and the story behind it is heart-wrenching. Definitely the best book in A Vision of Shadows arc, and, in my opinion, one of the best Warriors books ever written. I am eagerly awaiting the releasing of Darkest Night, A Vision of Shadows book five, and River of Fire, a Vision of Shadows book four.
