Code of the Clans is a field guide in the Warriors novel series. Code of the Clans is about the Warrior code and includes an ominous sign from StarClan that signaled the need to patrol borders, the unexpected help from a warrior ancestor that cemented the importance of elders, a secret coup that led to a deputy's new role, a medicine cat's pleas that stopped a spree of inner Clan bloodshed and many more stories.
Plot summary[edit]
In the introduction, it summarizes how the Clans (including SkyClan) was formed. It then cuts to Leafpool introducing the warrior code to us (as we are rogues visiting Leafpool to learn more of the code.) Each Code starts with Leafpool giving a hint about the story and how the code was formed. Sometimes there is an extra story after it.
Code One tells the story of Cloudberry of RiverClan and Ryewhisker of WindClan. Cloudberry is expecting Ryewhisker's kits and Ryewhisker believes the kits will end the territorial dispute between the two clans. But instead, in a battle, Ryewhisker was killed when he was trying to defend Cloudberry from his Clanmates. This led the Clans to form the first code and start a gathering place.
Code Two begins at the gathering when Brindlestar, leader of ShadowClan, complains to ThunderClan. ThunderClan accuses ShadowClan of stealing prey and a fight starts to break out. The fight was interrupted when a branch falls between the two Clans and no cats were hurt. It was a sign from StarClan that no Clan cat may cross the border and forms the next code. (In a mini-story, One-eye, known as White-eye and Dappletail wish to catch a fish to know why RiverClan like the prey so much.)
Code Three tells the story of Splashheart of RiverClan and another battle with ThunderClan over the Sunningrocks. Splashheart is guided by a StarClan cat and RiverClan wins over the Sunningrocks and celebrate by feeding the elders and kits, and hints that Splashheart will become leader of RiverClan one day. (In a mini-story, Longtail and Darkstripe are going out hunting for the elders, but Darkstripe eats the fresh-kill intended for Poppydawn and Longtail could do nothing. Since they could not make it on time, Poppydawn dies from greencough and Longtail regrets deeply.)
Code Four starts at ShadowClan territory when Driftkit and Fallowkit play with fresh-kill and were scolded by their leader, deputy and mother. An owl soon swoops in the camp and takes the fresh-kill away and Lilystar says it is a sign from StarClan.
Code Five begins with a worried WindClan queen named Daisytail, who worries that her son is too young to be in a battle against ShadowClan. She and a queen from ShadowClan stop the battle and tell their leaders that their apprentices should still be kits until they are at least six moons old. (In a mini-story, during the reign of Brokenstar and battle to drive out WindClan, Flintfang watches as his apprentice [who is three moons old] dies.)
Code Six starts with the RiverClan's medicine cat, Meadowpelt, as he overhears some of the new warriors are going to jump the gorge on the full-moon. Meadowpelt goes to StarClan for answers and finds out the warriors must stand vigil during the next to think about being a warrior and the warriors save the nursery from a fox and learn the true importance of being a warrior. (Squirrelflight tells us what do at a vigil in a mini-story.)
Code Seven tells the tale of Acorntail, as he is chosen deputy for WindClan. But he keeps messing up and tells Featherstar that she must choose a different deputy. Featherstar notices that Acorntail didn't learn how to lead and gain loyalty which is taught through an apprentice and Acorntail decides he must have an apprentice.
Code Eight starts when Beechstar, leader of SkyClan, gives his leadership to his son Mothpelt. Mothpelt wishes to avenge his father's death and leads an attack to RiverClan. The river was over flown and Robinwing and Maplewhisker, the deputy, has to save the warriors from drowning. Mothpelt gives up his position to Maplewhisker and forms a new code. (In a mini-story, Tallstar talks to Bluestar about his last choice in making Onewhisker as deputy.)
Code Nine begins when the Shadowclan deputy dies from greencough soon after their leader died. In order to decide a new leader, Jumpfoot and Mossfire fight to the death for the position. Redscar, the Clan's medicine cat, turns to StarClan for the answer. They tell him they must choose a new leader and the leader must choose a new deputy immediately. Redscar chooses Flowerstem because she watched her sister, Mossfire, die right in front of her and Flowerstem's only thoughts were to help the clan.
Code Ten starts at a gathering and all four Clans were attacked by ShadowClan, led by Ripplestar. As Ripplestar attacks Finchstar, leader of ThunderClan, StarClan sends clouds over the moon and kills Ripplestar with a bolt of lightning - giving a sign to all Clans.
Code Eleven begins when a SkyClan warrior named Poppycloud and her apprentice accidentally overstep the ThunderClan border and were caught. The leader of ThunderClan goes to the SkyClan leader and tells him what is going on. Poppycloud explains that they could not smell the border because it was not freshly made, which brings up the decision to remark their borders daily. (In a mini-story, Whitestorm teaches Firepaw, Graypaw, Ravenpaw, Sandpaw, and Dustpaw about border tactics.)
Code Twelve begins when the RiverClan medicine cat, Graywing, and a couple of warriors see WindClan kits fall into the gorge. Graywing says that it is only WindClan's loss and there is nothing they can do. But the StarClan kits come to Graywing and tell her the importance of kits in a Clan and Graywing and the warriors get the kits' bodies out of the gorge. (In a mini-story, Tigerkit (Tigerstar as a kit) is saved by a couple of warriors from ShadowClan from a fox.)
Code Thirteen starts at the gathering, where Darkstar, leader of SkyClan, gives a huge piece of territory to ThunderClan. Raincloud out loud tells him that he is wrong to do that, and Darkstar makes a new code so a leader won't be out staged by their warriors like that. (In a mini-story, Cloudstar talks about a broken promise.)
Code Fourteen starts with the ShadowClan medicine cat, Mossheart, seeing her Clanmates die in a battle skirmish. She and the other Clan medicine cats go to Moonstone together and are both told that this unnecessary death must stop. It also initiates a place where all medicine cats are defined from clan skirmishes and a place where they all share tongues with StarClan.
Code Fifteen starts with Lionpaw stalking Pinestar to the twoleg border. Pinestar tells Lionpaw that what he saw is absolutely secret and must not tell other cats. Soon Lionpaw finds out that Pinestar wishes to live with twolegs and Lionpaw pushes him to tell the Clan this. Pinestar thanks him and tells him that his future name will be Lionheart. (In a mini-story, Sandstorm tells about her thoughts on Fireheart.)
In the end, Leafpool tells what was not included in the warrior code and says goodbye.
The cover shows (from left to right) Blackstar, Firestar, Tallstar, and Leopardstar. Below them, they are surrounded by a group of cats, so the picture presumably depicts a Gathering.
Errors[edit]
In one part of the book, Whitestorm is teaching Firepaw, Dustpaw, Sandpaw, Ravenpaw, and Graypaw about patrols, and, since Hunter is so used to calling Graypaw 'Graystripe', she accidentally wrote Graystripe instead. And in the field guide, it said that the Clans made a decision to make a gathering place and started the codes one by one. In Secrets of the Clans, it said that StarClan already made the Warrior Code and gathering from the very beginning. In Secrets of the Clans it was said that the Clans began when they were told by the dead cats to congregate, whereas in Code of the Clans it says the Clans were created when cats peacefully gathered where they were interested. At one point, Longtail is accidentally called Longstripe, possible confusion with Darkstripe. Squirrelflight tells us how to sit vigil, though she never sat vigil herself (see Starlight)

Inspiration and origins[edit]
New Forest, which became the base for the forest the cats live in
The series first began when publisher HarperCollins asked Victoria Holmes to write a fantasy series about feral cats. Initially, Holmes was not very enthusiastic, since she 'couldn't imagine coming up with enough ideas'. She worked with the concept, however, expanding the storyline with elements of war, politics, revenge, doomed love, and religious conflict.[3] Although the original plan was a stand-alone novel, enough material was created for several books, and the publisher decided on a six-volume series.[3] The first volume, Into the Wild, was written by Kate Cary under the pseudonym 'Erin Hunter' and was completed in about three months.[4] Holmes then began to work behind the scenes, editing and supervising details.[5]Cherith Baldry joined the team to write the third book, Forest of Secrets. Later, after she wrote the first Warriors field guide, Tui Sutherland became the fourth Erin Hunter.,[6] there were also some rumors that said 'Warriors' where also based of off a children's book from the 60s called: 'Forest Dogs' that had almost the same plot origins.
The authors have named several other authors as sources of inspiration when writing the novels. In an online author chat, Cherith Baldry listed the authors that inspire her as including Tolkien, Ursula K. Le Guin, and Shakespeare. In the same chat, Victoria Holmes stated that Jacqueline Wilson, Kathy Reichs, and J. K. Rowling are some of the authors that inspire her.[6] According to the official website, other authors who have inspired the writers include Enid Blyton, Lucy Daniels, Ellis Peters, Tess Gerritsen, Kate Ellis, Lisa Gardiner, and Meg Cabot.[7] The authors have also mentioned several other sources of inspiration. The New Forest in southern England was the base for the forest where the original series took place.[4] Other influential locations include Loch Lomond,[8] as well as the Scottish Highlands. Nicholas Culpeper, a physician who used materials occurring in the natural world as medicine, also had an influence on the Warriors series. His book, Culpeper's Herbal, is used as a source by the authors for the herbal remedies that the cats use in the books. In addition, the authors suggested that they may use some fan-created names in future books.[6][9] Also mentioned as a source of inspiration was the film series Rambo.[10]

Setting[edit]
In the Warriors universe, a large group of feral cats has settled into a forest and claimed it for their own. The cats are split into four smaller Clans: ThunderClan lives in woodland areas, WindClan resides on the moors, RiverClan by the lake, and ShadowClan within and around the swamps hidden in the shadows. SkyClan, a fifth group, also used to be a part of this system but was forced to flee when their territory was destroyed to make human houses. The other Clans refused to share their territory, thus leading to SkyClan being driven out of their home. The other Clans were ashamed of this and tried to erase all memory of SkyClan. Each Clan has adapted to their own terrain; RiverClan, for example, will swim in the river to catch fish, while the majority of cats from the other Clans fear and avoid bodies of water.
Relationships between different Clans are tense and they often come into conflict with one another. Each clan is taught signature battle moves in order to protect their territory. Border skirmishes are the most common source of battle; they are often short-lived and cause no real damage to either side. Bigger and more brutal battles can occur, which can result in casualties. The Clans can also show concern for each other; the idea of one Clan being destroyed causes deep distress and will prompt urgent action on behalf of all four Clans. On the night of every full moon, the Clans will meet at a designated spot in order to share stories and news in peace. This is known as a 'Gathering', and fighting is prohibited.
Cats who live outside of the Clans are split into three groups. Housecats, known as 'kittypets', are often sneered at by the Clan cats for their cozy and lazy life, and if they wander into the forest are chased away, but will rarely come to harm. 'Loners' are cats who walk outside of the Clans, usually by themselves. Although regarded by the Clans with suspicion, they do not cause the forest cats any trouble, and so are free to wander outside of the borders in peace. Similar to loners are 'rogues', who differ only because they try to cause Clans harm. It is not unusual for a rogue to be a former Clan cat looking for revenge. For a kittypet, loner, or rogue to join a Clan is rare, but not unheard of. Often, these newcomers have to prove themselves in order to be regarded with trust by the rest of the community.
Beyond the Clans' territories lies a mountain range, inhabited by the Tribe of Rushing Water, which follows a different set of ancestors: the Tribe of Endless Hunting. The Tribe has a Healer, cave-guards, and prey-hunters, who each serve a different function in the Tribe. The Healer leads the Tribe, heals the ill and wounded, and communicates with the Tribe of Endless Hunting; the cave-guards defend the Tribe and the prey-hunters hunt. The Tribe was formed by the Ancients when they left the lake to live in the mountains. In turn, cats from the Tribe moved to the forest of the original series and formed the Clans.
StarClan is a group of the Clans' deceased ancestors who give guidance to the Clans. After death, most Clan cats join StarClan. It is represented by Silverpelt, and each individual star represents the spirit of a single dead warrior. Upon joining StarClan, the cats' spirits take the form in which they were most happy while living (i.e. blindness and deafness can be cured). StarClan Warriors, elders, deputies, queens, and kits keep watch over the Clans, usually watching the Clan they lived in while alive. They provide guidance to the Clans, often through dreams and other signs like omens. Often, this occurs when medicine cats go to the Moonstone, a large piece of quartz in an abandoned mine, which is used in the forest territory to communicate with the medicine and leader cats' ancestors every half-moon. StarClan cats are often described as being transparent and silver in color, with stars sparkling around their pelts.
In addition to StarClan, there exists the Dark Forest, also known as The Place of No Stars. The spirits of traitors who caused great pain and suffering to others walk alone there, forever, to pay for their sins. As the name suggests, it takes the form of a never-ending forest, forcing its residents to forever walk alone. Although cats of the Dark Forest are meant to be isolated as punishment, they later learn how to walk in the dreams of living cats. Like StarClan cats, Dark Forest residents will fade away if they are forgotten, or killed in battle.
Series[edit]

Critical reception[edit]
The first book of the series, Into the Wild, was generally well-received, with reviewers calling it a 'spine-tingling,'[54] 'thoroughly engrossing'[55] and 'exciting.. action-packed adventure.'[56] One reviewer praised the authors for 'creating an intriguing world.. and an engaging young hero',[57] but another criticised the characters and imagined world as being 'neither.. F1 race stars pc download. consistent nor compelling.'[58]
The manga has also earned praise: a reviewer for Children's Bookwatch noted that Into the Woods 'ends on a tense cliffhanger, leaving the reader in anxious anticipation for more. Suitable for readers age ten to one hundred and ten, warriors Tigerstar and Sasha's manga story, #1: Into the Woods, is especially recommended for cat lovers everywhere'.[59] Its sequel, Escape from the Forest, was also well reviewed: a reviewer for Publishers Weekly believed that girls would benefit from reading about Sasha leaving the powerful Tigerstar due to his 'growing violence'. The art was also praised, with the reviewer writing that 'Hudson's artwork brings Sasha's emotional journey to life, showing each moment of fear, anxiety, contentment, and joy. The cat's-eye perspective of many of the panels, in addition, add [sic] a dramatic, energizing element to the book'. The reviewer also wrote that 'a twist at the end will leave fans eager for the next installment of Sasha's saga', and that the book would appeal to young adults trying to find their place in the world.[60] Lisa Goldstein for School Library Journal also gave the book a positive review, writing that the plot would attract new fans and appeal to old fans. The reviewer also wrote that 'though the cover claims that this is a 'manga,' the straightforward illustrations are drawn in a simple, realistic style'.[61]
The large number of characters involved in the series has often been seen as a negative point; though one reviewer compared the 'huge cast' to that of a Greek drama,[62] others wrote that it was 'hard to follow'[63] and 'a little confusing.'[57] The characters have also been criticised as being 'somewhat flat'[63] and 'limited essentially to each individual's function within the clan.'[58]
As one reviewer put it, the cats in the series are 'true to their feline nature,'[54] leading some critics to jokingly comment that the books will 'leave readers eyeing Puss a bit nervously'[64] and wondering 'what dreams of grandeur may haunt the family cat.'[56] However, this realism also means that the series contains a relatively large amount of violence,[57] with one critic stating that it is 'not for the faint of heart.'[62] Several critics have compared Warriors to Brian Jacques' Redwall series,[54][58] though one commented that it was 'not as elegantly written.'[57]The New York Times called the series a 'hit with young readers', specifically because of its 'sprawling universe',[65] and the series was able to appear on the New York Times Bestseller List for a total of 117 weeks, as of 24 November 2013.[66]
Awards and recognitions[edit]
Into the Wild was nominated for the Pacific Northwest Library Association's 2006 Young Reader's Choice Awards but lost to Christopher Paolini's Eragon.[67][68] It was also listed on Booklist's Top 10 fantasy books for youth in 2003[69] and was a Book Sense 76 Pick.[12]The Sight was nominated for the best Middle Readers book in Amazon's Best Books of the Year (2007) and placed sixth out of the ten nominees, with six percent of the total votes.[70] It was also nominated for the Children's Choice Book Awards.[71] In 2006, Warriors also received an honorable mention for the best book series for Publisher Weekly's 'On the Cuff' awards.[72]
Themes[edit]
Themes in the series often revolve around forbidden love. These relationships are not allowed for various reasons: some involve medicine cats, who are not allowed to have mates according to the medicine cat code, while others develop between cats in different Clans, which is also forbidden by the warrior code (for example, Graystripe and Silverstream.) Holmes said that another central theme of the series centres on 'faith and spirituality' in StarClan.[73] All books in the series feature the influence of StarClan, not just as the cats think of them, but in terms of prophecies delivered by StarClan which inevitably come true. Some scenes take place within StarClan's realm, with no living cats present as point-of-view characters. Thus the existence of an afterlife and the influence of spirits who have passed on and yet retain their earthly identities is integral to all of the plot arcs in the series. Another idea explored in the novels is the reactions of different faiths when meeting each other. For example, the Tribe of Rushing Water, which believes in different spiritual ancestors than the Clans, is introduced in Moonrise. In an author chat, Holmes explained that the books never say that either of the Clans or the Tribe of Rushing Water is right about faith because both are 'equally valid.' This leads to fear and suspicion between them because they are afraid of things they do not understand. Holmes said that 'ignorance is a very scary thing!'[74] Non-belief is also significant in the storylines: Mothwing and Cloudtail do not believe in StarClan.[75]Kittypets, loners, and rouges were also a very important theme (at least for Erin Hunter).
Another theme is that characters can be a mix of good and evil. Holmes has said she is fascinated by these 'shades of gray' in personalities. Her example of this was when Bluestar, a noble and honorable cat, gave up her kits for her own ambitions so an evil cat would not take over. Another example she gave of this is how the antagonist Tigerstar, even with all of his faults, is still courageous and fiercely loyal.[76] Similarly, Holmes has also connected the theme to Brambleclaw and how nobody knew whether he was good or evil.[6] A third major theme, often referred to as nature versus nurture, explores whether a person is born the way he or she will be, or if other things shape that. For example, Brambleclaw's father is the evil Tigerstar, but he eventually demonstrates that despite this, he is not evil himself, despite initial suspicion from Clanmates due to his father's legacy. This theme ties into the 'shades of gray' theme.[74] similar to the book ¨Forest dogs¨.
A reviewer for Publishers Weekly noted that friendship and responsibility are taught to characters in the novels,[56] while booksforyouths.com had a reviewer who pointed out the idea that, just as Clan cats shun house cats for their soft life, people should realize that it is necessary to experience hardship in life.[77] A Storysnoops review noted that one of the themes was that 'it doesn't matter where you come from, only who you are inside'.[78] In Dawn, the importance of cooperation is explored. The four Clans, normally hostile to each other, are forced to work together in order to find a new home. Other themes that have been pointed out deal with family, loss, honor, bravery, death, loyalty, and following rules.[74][56]
Holmes has said that one of the good things about writing a book about cats is that 'we can tackle difficult human issues such as death, racial intolerance, and religious intolerance [without seeming so heavy].'[76]
Publication history[edit]
All of the Warriors books except for the manga have been published as hardcovers, and the majority of them have also been published as paperbacks. Starlight, Twilight, and Sunset from The New Prophecy, as well as the first four Omen of the Stars books, are available in an audiobook format.[79][80][81][82][83][84][85] The New Prophecy audiobooks are spoken by Nanette Savard, whose performance has been praised by reviewers. A reviewer for AudioFile wrote: 'Nanette Savard brings out the youth of the cats who are struggling to help their clan survive and to protect each other from outside danger.'[86][87] The Omen of the Stars audiobooks are spoken by Veronica Taylor who played Ash Ketchum and many anime and cartoon characters . The books in the four main series have also been released in an e-book format.[88]
Foreign editions[edit]
The Warriors series was first published in the United States and United Kingdom.[4] The editions published of the first two series--Warriors and Warriors: The New Prophecy—in the United Kingdom had slight variations in cover design from their United States counterparts.[89]Warriors is also sold in New Zealand,[90]Australia,[91] and Canada. Translations from English into other languages such as Czech, Lithuanian, Finnish, Japanese, French, Spanish, Russian, Chinese, and Korean have been published more recently.[92] The first six books have been published in Korea, Italy and Latin America,[93] the first five series in Germany and the first four series in the Netherlands.[6][94] Fandom also exists in Trinidad and Singapore.[95] The first two books have been published in Poland.[96]
Other media[edit]
Website[edit]
The Warriors website features Warriorsscreensavers,[97] along with videos on the process of writing a manga book and a video promoting The Last Hope.[98] There is also a 'How To Draw Manga' page.[99] In addition, there are games, including quizzes,[99] the New Prophecy Adventure, and the Warriors Adventure Game.[100] On the Frequently Asked Questions section of the site, Erin Hunter said that they are working on an online game that would be released in late 2010.[101] It finished the first round of testing in summer 2010, but has not been released. Whether it will be a role-playing game is unknown. Erin Hunter has stated on the official Warriors website that there is still no plan for an official video game, but if there was, it would probably be based on a movie version of the Warriors series, which was at the time not under consideration.[101] Many fans have resorted to making their own games and websites, many of these sites being Play-by-post role-playing game forums.[74]
Film[edit]
On 20 October 2016, Victoria Holmes announced that Alibaba Pictures had bought the production rights for a film adaptation with David Heyman as producer. On 14 May 2018 it was announced that STX Entertainment had come on board to co-produce the film, with STX board member Gigi Pritzker working alongside Heyman. It was also announced that screenwriters Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger would write the screenplay for the movie. No director or release date has yet been announced for the film.[102][103]
Short stories[edit]
The first short story written by Erin Hunter is 'Spottedleaf's Honest Answer'. In it, the spirit of former ThunderClan medicine cat Spottedleaf discusses her love for Firestar. It gives information on what happened in the Warriors series from Into the Wild to Firestar's Quest.[104]
On 20 January 2009, another short story, 'The Clans Decide', was released on the Warriors Ultimate Leader Election site, starring Firestar, who won an election through an online fan vote conducted in recognition of President Obama's Inauguration Day. In the story, the four Clans vote for a way to survive a tough winter. Every cat at the meeting votes on whether or not the Clans should work together to survive the winter. The cats vote in favour of working together.[105]
Two short stories, 'After Sunset: The Right Choice?' and 'The Elders' Concern', are included with the Warriors mobile application.[106] 'The Elders' Concern' has been noted to contain timeline errors. Taking place after Bluestar's selection of Fireheart for deputy, it is about the elder Halftail, who is unhappy with the decision, and wakes the other elders to discuss it with them. In 'After Sunset: The Right Choice?', After Brambleclaw is forced to kill Hawkfrost, he is worried about what Firestar might do, but Firestar is extremely proud of him.
Plays[edit]
Written by Victoria Holmes for a tour, a play titled After Sunset: We Need to Talk was first premiered on 28 April 2007 at the Secret Garden bookstore in Seattle, Washington. It details a meeting between Leafpool of ThunderClan and Crowfeather of WindClan after the events of Sunset. The script was released to the public on the official site for the Warriors series.[107]
During a fundraising event in Russellville, Arkansas, Brightspirit's Mercy was performed by various high school drama students. The second of two plays by Erin Hunter, Brightspirit's Mercy is about Jaypaw, Lionblaze, and Hollyleaf. After going to a Gathering, where it is obvious all of the Clans except for ThunderClan are starving, three cats from StarClan appear to them: Brightspirit and her parents, Shiningheart and Braveheart, characters created on Wands and Worlds, a fantasy fiction forum, in memory of a 10-year-old Warriors fan, Emmy Grace Cherry, and her parents, Dana and Jimmy Cherry, who were killed in a tornado in February 2007.[108] They tell the three young cats that they must help feed the other Clans. Jaypaw is easily convinced, but Hollyleaf and Lionblaze are harder to win over. Eventually, they agree and hunt, then wait at the WindClan border for a patrol. Ashfoot, WindClan's deputy, accepts the gift, but Breezepaw, too proud to have help from another Clan, refuses to eat it. Jaypaw, Lionblaze, and Hollyleaf then head towards another Clan's territory.[109]
Physical media[edit]
Brambleclaw on a Chinese trading card.
In the Chinese translation of the series, '3-D trading cards' are packaged in each book. The 3-D effect is produced using stereoscopic lenticular printing. These cards feature pictures of the cats on the center of the bookcover and their Chinese and English names, and biographical information on the back. Also produced are puzzles and cups with Warriors images.[110]
Mobile application[edit]
On 30 June 2011, an official iOS application and Android application was released on the iTunes App Store[106] and Play store. It contains information about the books in the series, profiles of the Clans and major characters (including app-exclusive information such as the name of Firestar's mother), an interactive timeline and maps, two application-exclusive short stories, a trivia game, and even an amino. The app has been taken off the Google Play store.

- ^ abcdAlpert, Mary (1 May 2003). 'Hunter, Erin. Into the Wild'. School Library Journal. Retrieved 21 August 2008.
The author has created an intriguing world with an intricate structure and mythology, and an engaging young hero. [..] The supporting cast of players is large and a little confusing [..] This is not as elegantly written as Brian Jacques's 'Redwall' series
- ^ abcNegro, Janice M. Del (1 March 2003). 'Book review: Warriors: Into the Wild'. Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books. 56 (7): 277. Retrieved 21 August 2008.
The author's attempt to create a hierarchical warrior-clan society falls a bit short: neither the imagined world nor the characters within it are consistent or compelling. Characterization is limited essentially to each individual's function within the clan, and the cast therefore remains cartoon cats engaged in territory marking [..] while the pace occasionally flags there are a lot of bloody tooth-and-claw battles here that may engage readers of the Redwall series.
