Simple as it says: How do you feel about the books that started it? Love 'em, hate 'em, never read 'em? Spew out your feelings here x3
For me, I used to love them. The ideas were so new and creative to me, and I just loved the universe. But then the series just...refused. To. End. And then the Erins writing skills went to absolute garbage. Long Shadows did it for me. I nearly couldn't read the last couple of pages, it was so bad. And forgive me, Vicky, but I don't like having to wait eight chapters for something to happen.
tl;dr: I used to love them but now they suck.
So, what do you guys think?

I think that since I started reading it when I was older, the writing was also much to bland for me to like the books for that. I always liked the story, though. It's one of the few animal fiction books I can stand. The writing just has to come up to par. It started out too simple, even for a children's book, and then got progressively worse until the books were all just jumbles of words tied together by plots that show up on the very last page.
....So in short, the kitties are cool, but the books need work. XD

Yeah, and also, Firestar needs to not be a total ripoff of Fritti Tailchaser, kthx... Seriously, exactly the same cat: An orange cat. With green eyes. That saves the forest. ... Sound familiar?
Although I must admit, other than similarities in names (although the ceremonies in Tailchaser's Song are very different), and Tailchaser/Firestar, Warriors itself isn't a ripoff of Tailchaser's Song. Which is an excellent book you should definitely read. Like right now. XD

I think what bothers me is that that the writers can't even keep their own character's names, appearances, and gender (if I remember correctly) right half the time....But I digress.
Some of the characters are really cool though. Like Yellowfang. And Graystripe. They were my favorites ever <3

Gender - Rowanclawwww...He's apparently now becoming the deputy of ShadowClan even though he was a she for the first three books of TNP. I guess ShadowClan is becoming a blue Clan? (nowhere near as blue as ThunderClan though e.e)
Appearance - DARKSTRIPE'S. EFFING. EYES. THEY CHANGED /EVERY/ BOOK. I SHIT YOU NOT.
Names - No one who owns early editions of ItW will ever forget the Graypaw/Grewpaw error. Ever.
ffff yes Yellowfang<3 She's the best ^^ And Gray-Gray, just because XD

the books were all just jumbles of words tied together by plots that show up on the very last page. ^ My main problem with the series as it is now. The filler isn't always boring, but I prefer, you know... Plot. |
